Chapter 429: Two Lines
It should be said that Charlotte's plan is indeed feasible.
In fact, after the maturity of green screen and special effects technology in later generations, some of the special effects of the movie were indeed completed before the official shooting.
INTERVIEWER At that time, it was common to move the actors' performances to the computer-generated special effects scenes, rather than inserting the special effects into the actors' performances, as is the case now.
After all, neither Pandora nor Superman's hometown Krypton is a scenery that can be photographed normally on Earth.
At that time, it was the easiest and cheapest way to frame the scene entirely by computer special effects and then put the actors performing in green screen photography.
It's just that most of the special effects scenes used in this practice will not be affected by the actors' performances.
As for those things that are held in the hands of actors, no matter how cool they are, they generally still need to be physical.
- Just like Thor's hammer, even if it's actually just plastic, he always needs to hold it in his hand.
Charlotte's current plan is to shoot the scene through the dream camera, and some special effects related to the actors' movements will also be produced in advance. Then, during the actual shooting, try to fine-tune the actors' movements to make them conform to the special effects produced.
- This can be said to be a method that can only be achieved with the help of a dream camera.
Moreover, this also requires that after the real special effects are done, Charlotte, as the director, can perfectly integrate them with the actors' performances.
To a certain extent, this is somewhat similar to the AR (Augmented Reality) technology that emerged in later generations.
If Charlotte hadn't had the magic to visually merge the two sets of visions through dreams, he wouldn't have dared to make such an attempt.
But now......
Anyway, Ghost Studios can try some new technology again.
As for the construction of the dream world, Charlotte doesn't plan to do it alone this time.
First of all, in preparation for the animated version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Ghost Party Studios had already modeled a digital version of Hogwarts.
Although relatively simple, it can be used as the basis for Charlotte's construction of Hogwarts in her dreams.
And the Hogwarts he framed in his dreams would become the foundation of Hogwarts built in the studio and computer special effects - that is, the Hogwarts that would eventually be presented to the audience.
- This was one of the purposes for which he had prepared the digital Hogwarts model.
- Although he didn't expect that he was the first to use this set of modeling in the movie, it was also himself.
Secondly, in the dream world, although the young actors can play themselves, the other adult actors are still insufficient.
So, Charlotte specifically asked Charlize, who had been bored lately, to help.
The girl is already familiar with the dream world, and she accompanied Charlotte to deceive Harvey Weinstein in the form of a female ghost, so it can be said that she is the best candidate to replace other adult actors in the dream world.
"So, are you going to make me a girl with a thousand faces?"
That night, after exercising, Charlize asked him with a smile while lying on the bed.
"Almost!"
Charlotte caressed the girl's skinβhe felt that as he learned the spell, the girl's skin seemed to become more delicate and smooth, which was a surprise.
"However, you may not be able to keep busy alone, so I'll be with you. β
"That's fine!"
Charlize wrapped her fingers around Charlotte's chest hair and lightly drew circles around his chest,
"But, how to calculate the salary this time?"
"This ......"
If it were an ordinary person asking this question on a normal setting, Charlotte would probably have to ponder it. However, Charlize's current actions and tone made him understand that the girl was a drunkard and didn't mean to drink-
"Sally, what do you want?"
β......β
Charlize whispered in Charlotte's ear, and Charlotte laughed,
"I'm happy to pay for that. β
With that, his body slid down......
It should be said that by now, Charlize's heart knot has almost been dissolved by Charlotte.
Although she still didn't dare to aim when she fired, at least she dared to pull the trigger.
And when I get along with Charlotte, I hardly see any problems - not only do I unlock a lot of poses, but I even enjoy it sometimes.
Of course, Charlotte can also feel that to a certain extent, it is the girl who is compensating him.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, the psychological disorder of girls cannot be regarded as a complete cure.
- After all, that level of childhood shadow area is a bit big.
Charlotte knew that Charlize wanted to shoot a biographical film of Erin Warnos to completely vent the suppressed dark emotions in her heart.
This is indeed a viable approach.
But Charlotte felt that this alone did not seem to be very safe.
Therefore, while preparing for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", he did not forget the post-production work of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds".
- Originally, one of his purposes in making this love movie was to take the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with his girlfriend!
And it turns out to work.
Although it was a little hard to endure during the shooting, after the filming, the chemistry between the two obviously went up to a higher level.
So since this is the case, Charlotte naturally wants to finish this movie as soon as possible.
However, because "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was being prepared at the same time, the post-production speed of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" was not as fast as Charlotte expected-
In particular, although this movie does not have any gorgeous special effects, it has very high requirements for editing and shots, and some color purity also needs post-processing.
- After all, in romantic comedies, beautiful pictures are very important.
What's more, Charlotte also wants to use this movie to broaden the types of movies she can shoot, and also impact the Oscars by the way.
This naturally requires a lot of detail in post-production.
They even re-shot some shots.
But fortunately, the heroes and heroines of this movie are Charlotte and Charlize, both of whom are currently in London, so it is actually easy to make up the scenes between the two.
This is the opposite of the remake of a typical movie.
You must know that in general, during the post-production of films, the main actors have often gone to other crews to report because of schedule problems.
At this time, it will be very troublesome to reshoot, and it will take a lot of effort just to coordinate the time of the actors.
Therefore, many directors will simply use staff as stand-ins.
As a result, the content of the reshoot is often some long shots or back shots.
- It's actually very common for the heroine running with her back to us in the distance to be a man wearing a long wig.
"You're right, when I was filming the clip of Leo and Kate escaping inside the ship, I reshot a few shots, using a double in. β
James Cameron said with a smile.
