The short film was filmed smoothly in the theater's finale scene, and finally in a warm applause, all the crew members of "Angel Dance" thanked everyone for their support, and it was officially completed.

Ye Wei's passionate speech not only made everyone understand his dream, but also completely smashed the dirty conspiracy of the focus movie, the students believed him, and the parents also believed him, come on, VIy, work hard to create a miracle!

The old principal also sent his blessings: "Weige, you said that there is one less type of people, in addition to zombies and living people, there is also a kind of human race, called heroes." Heroes are a source of strength for the living to bravely fight against zombies, and you will be a hero. ”

What a heavy expectation, but Ye Wei likes it.

The filming phase is over, and the post-production stage follows, with only 11 days left before Christmas, the sooner the post-production of the short film is completed, the better.

Ye Wei's plan was to complete this task within a week.

So he only gave himself a night off, and had a great date with Lily, first having dinner together, and then going to the cinema to watch a movie, this was their first date to watch a movie, watching "Haunted House", which had been in theaters for half a month, and they didn't frighten or fall asleep, they just laughed.

When they walked out of the cinema, both agreed that they should watch "Love is a Compromise".

The next day, Ye Wei plunged headlong into the post-production of the short film, and the school continued to ask for leave because he needed to go to USC.

But it's winter vacation in a few days, and there won't be many classes missing, or rather, x time.

Uncompressed SD video has 3omB per second and 18oomB per minute (1. 75gB), the usable footage that he took in the past three days has been an hour, how much is that?1o5gB! Format his PC hard drive before he can load it, but the poor memory still can't be processed when editing.

The Sony Media Center building at USC has a variety of professional post-production equipment, such as a digital editing room with a full set of non-linear editing equipment. With Darum's Id, Ye Wei can show his strength.

If it is said that when shooting on the set, the further back you go, the more dull it is, then the post-production zuò, almost the whole process is dull and boring.

Think about it, sitting at a computer desk all day, looking at several display screens, processing frame after frame of images, constantly combining, arranging, deleting and adding, it really doesn't have much fun at all, unless you love it. Therefore, to be a good post-production personnel, you must be able to endure loneliness, have high patience, concentration, and be strong in your heart!

And be mentally prepared to contribute silently, because even if the work is successful in the future, no one will remember who the editor is and who the audio producer is......

Editing, vocal music, and special effects, this is a job that is even lower than that of a screenwriter in the filmmaking process, ironically, but extremely important.

This time, Ye Wei personally acted as the editor, and the special effects were helped by several students from the Department of Animation and Digital Art who Darum had contacted, and they could get it done within a week.

Editing and special effects are done at the same time, because the shot numbers are the same, and after the special effects are made, they can be directly overwritten.

And to carry out the soundtrack, of course, you have to edit it first, but after you have a rough cut version, you can start the audio editing, first do a good job of dialogue, dynamics, environment, sound effects four audio tracks, this task is foreseen by Forlin, others will start when they have time;

His goal is to finish editing in three days, and then go all out to do the vocals, and time is running out.

On the first day, in the morning, Ye Wei sorted out all the materials, and in the afternoon, the rough cut version came out, which looked good.

The next day, he made a fine cut on the basis of the rough cut version, and the length of the feature film could only be less than ten minutes, because there were many scene transitions, and the rhythm needed to be well grasped.

At the same time, Darum and they helped make the subtitles and end credits, there are not many crew members in the table, but there are too many people to thank, hundreds of people have to be taken care of, and it is almost impossible to finish the broadcast until the end of the world, so ...... The font size is smaller, and the most important thing is the mind.

In addition, they are also responsible for the work of color correction, according to Ye Wei's intentions, summer, winter and spring.

On the third day, Ye Wei continued to revise the preliminary fine cut version, and he had to do his best in the selection of details and the use of skills.

It was still morning, in the dimly lit editing room, the four monitors on the U-shaped desk placed against the wall, the left and right two displayed the pages of the editing software Sony-Vegas, and the middle two were frozen with a close-up of Anna, two different shots, her smile was slightly different, the left side was brighter, and the right side had a bit of a naughty feeling.

Ye Wei sat on the office chair, his eyes unblinking, thinking about which one to choose.

Suddenly, there was a few knocks on the door of the editing room, and then it opened, and a surprised voice rang out: "Hey, who are you?"

It was a middle-aged white man who was supposed to be a faculty member of the academy, and he was stunned, obviously not understanding how a teenager could be editing something here.

"Me?" Ye Wei turned his chair to face the comer, and smiled unhurriedly: "A Trojan." ”

"Yes...... the man frowned, but there was no clue, "what's your name......?

"Ahh Ye Wei shrugged, he didn't know who the other party was, in that dream, he hadn't seen this person, so he said: "My name is Ye Wei, a student majoring in film and television production, just to do a short film homework." Hey sir, I'm having some choice problems, can you come and help me refer to it?"

This is a big killer move, to ensure that the other party escapes, except for scissors, who will like to edit?

As expected, the man's eyes changed, and he said, "I still have some things to do, you can cut it slowly." He hurriedly turned around and walked away, without looking back, there is such a teenager-aged Asian student in the college?

Ye Wei whistled lightly, continued to look at the screen, and chose to be a little naughty!

After the third day, the cut was finished! Everyone was very happy to see it, and it was good to watch the silent movie alone.

On the fourth day, Ye Wei began to score music! The most important work, music is too important for movies, especially short films, expressing emotions, creating atmosphere, and setting off **, all rely on it. Imagine that when "Titanic" "you-jump, I-Jump" was not broadcast, did not broadcast "My Heart is Eternal", is there something missing?

After all this time in the making, he had already mastered the soundtrack for the short film, and there were four places in the film that needed music: the opening scene, the first day and night scene, the second day and night scene, and the montage of Anna's rejuvenation.

The beginning is accompanied by a gentle and joyful music, bamboo flutes and bagpipes are good, the second is also joyful, more brisk, and the flute is used, and the third is a sad wail, the Irish bagpipes, which feel good like "danny-boy", plus a little bit of Tchaikovsky's "Pathétique" piano sound.

All three are easy to match, and easy to find, and the soundtrack room here has a lot of commercial music libraries, like BackTRaxx, which can be matched for a few hundred dollars.

But the montage in the fourth place is a bit challenging, this is the biggest touching tearjerker in the whole film, the music must not only highlight Anna's strength, but also describe the parents, Bella and everyone's greatest love for her, and also set the tone for the whole story, and can continue until the stage scene sounds again, supporting **, until the end of the credits.

So be sure to pair it with a 4 or 5 minute song that has a blast.

It's just that he can't create and record a good song, he really doesn't have that talent, so he can only use ready-made, so let's go back to an old problem...... Copyright!

He couldn't just use Britney or Timberlake's songs, they didn't know he was there, but ...... He knew the daughter of a rock star.

Yes, Lily, yes, the song her dad wrote for her, "you'11-Be-In-my-heart"!

This song is so suitable, the lyrics are suitable, the tune is suitable, the duration is suitable, and the contact to obtain the right to use it is also suitable, all of them are perfect!

And it's the Oscar for Best Original Song, how touching and explosive it is, how good it is, the soundtrack layman knows it, right?

Although this is a bit presumptuous, "Angel Dance" is a student short film without any commercial use, so that night, Ye Wei asked Lily to come out and go to the lemonade restaurant to drink juice while telling her this request.

“《you‘11-Be-In-my-heart》？”

Under the watery night sky, the two of them were still sitting at a small dining table in the middle of nowhere on the street outside the store, and when Lily heard this, she suddenly burst into laughter: "It can't be the version played by the band, right?"

"No, that version is for a qiē comedy, but this time, I need to use the version played by Mr. Collins. Ye Wei's face was full of seriousness.

"Mr. Collins...... Good strict sù. Lily's laughter was even more joyful, she drank a few sips of apple juice, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she was still laughing: "He gave me this song a long time ago, so can you use it, ask him if it's useless, ask me." ”

After Ye Wei smiled, he continued to speak in a serious tone: "Then can I use it, Miss Collins?"

"Well, I have to think about it, there is so much to do with this......" Lily's right hand supported her chin, looked at his bright eyes and blinked, and then smiled: "Think about it! Look at how smart I am, the answer is - yes! You can use it, make it more classic!"

"Thank you! Great!" This was the expected result, but Ye Wei was still happy, and after cheering a few times, he said, "But we still have to do a good job of written authorization." ”

"Okay, you use it first, give me a copy and legal text when the short film is ready, this Christmas, my dad and his family came to the United States, and I will surprise him then!" Lily is very much looking forward to it, soon, dad and mom will know a very talented young man.

“ok。 Ye Wei nodded, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Lily." ”

Lily smiled and sipped the juice and didn't say anything.

After talking about business, the two laughed and talked about how to spend the upcoming holidays, Christmas and New Year one after another.

Ye Wei still has no travel plans, and Lily is going to go on vacation to New York with her mother, and then in the Big Apple, she will also spend a few days with her father's family, she is almost going to invite him to play together, but she thinks that it is not suitable, so she suppresses this thought and buys more gifts!

"Actually, Christmas doesn't mean anything special to me, I'm not a Christian, but I love it. Ye Wei's voice was calm.

He thought he would take the opportunity to find out some information about each other. If you're just an ordinary friend, there's no need to talk about these taboo topics, but if you want to have a deeper relationship, it's better to know. He didn't want to anger her, and he was confused, believing that she was too.

"I'm about the same. My mom had just moved back to the United States, and I only knew a kid my age, Trist, who read St. Martin in Tours, so I went too, but I wasn't a Catholic. But after all these years, I feel like I'm half a Christian, right? I don't know. Lily thought about it, but there was no answer.

Ye Wei said OK, and then asked, "Can I ask about your bloodline?" I don't want to offend you suddenly. ”

"I'll think about it......" Lily said, counting her fingers, "my grandfather was a Russian Jew, my grandmother was half German-American, and my father's side was all British, and that's it." ”

"Jews, Russia, Germany, the United States, Britain, this is the European battlefield of World War II!" Ye Wei couldn't help but say, "You are more like the descendants of veterans." ”

"Hey, you're offending me!" Lily snorted, kicking him from under the table.

"I'm sorry, but I'm a guy who has the shortness of being straightforward. Ye Wei smiled, "I am of 9/1o Chinese ancestry, about 1/1o alien blood, I was kidnapped and modified by aliens when I was a child, and some alien genes were injected, and they said that they came from a planet called Cool." ”

"Hahaha, isn't it called a narcissistic planet?"

After a happy date, on the fourth day, the post-production continues, and all the soundtracks are complete!

On the fifth day, all the audio was finished and the five tracks were mixed.

On the sixth day, all the special effects shots were done, and in the editing room, Ye Wei clicked the mouse to replace the original ordinary shots with the special effects shots.

On Day 7, the mix is complete! Add intro and outro credits and subtitles, compress, encrypt and copy to DVD disc!

When the computer screen shows 1oo% and then the copy box disappears, it means that the official production of "Dance of Angels" is completed!

In the editing room of "Ya !!", Ye Wei, Darum and others laughed and high-fived, they were very excited, and the hard work and hard work of the past few days finally turned into shining results! It is this feeling of a dream come true that makes them love film and television production so much.

"Brothers, thank you really for your help, thank you! I love you!" Ye Wei hugged these college students one by one, and shouted with a smile: "I love you!"

"It's not enough to say thank you, if you do become a producer and director of independent feature films, we should also graduate, right?

"Don't worry, when my feature film starts, there will be a place for you to do chores!"

Just as they were laughing and looking forward to the future, suddenly there was a knock on the door of the editing room and it was the middle-aged teacher, who looked at them in amazement, and after investigation, he was already sure that there was not a single teenage student in the academy.

"Darum, Pete...... what are you doing here, who is that kid?!"

Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly they all smiled: "Our director, only." ”

Ye Wei whistled, pulled out the dVd from the computer drive, and hurried to flash before the USC security arrived......
