Movie Master

With the development of the film industry, computer special effects have become more and more mature, and in many cases it can almost be faked. But traditional on-site special effects are still not eliminated, because on-site special effects can present pure reality, which is crucial for actors' performances, shooting effects, etc.

Shooting with computer special effects and performing in front of a green screen, even if the actors have rich imagination, the lack of details will still make a huge difference, and the effect presented will also be different. Therefore, many directors stick to the traditional shooting method, and strive to capture the purest charm of the movie with the lens.

However, this also means that the difficulty of the work has increased, especially for works like Fury Road that grab the attention with visual effects, it is even more difficult. As a director, Lance has always adhered to a perfect attitude of excellence and meticulousness, which did not help in alleviating the difficulty of shooting.

After discussing the lighting effects with Newton, Lance was taken away by the on-site special effects team. Considering the intensity of the sandstorm, even if eight blowers were used to create the effect of flying sand and rocks, it still could not achieve the realism of natural disasters, so The on-site special effects team proposed a solution, mixing dust fire extinguishing agent, ground corn flakes and soot, and then spraying it from different angles with the high pressure of the blower, artificially creating the effect of a tornado, presenting a real doomsday déjà vu feel. The special effects team tried many times to find the most suitable ratio, and they needed Lance to go over to see the effect.

Before coming back, Lance went around to the audio team to communicate again - radio recording in the sandstorm is definitely a severe challenge, and Lance refused to post-dubbing, and must be radioed at the same time, so the audio team is also constantly trying .

Lance, Lance... When Lance walked towards Michael and Charlize, Giselle, who had been practicing by the side, called out loudly. Lance paused, then walked towards where they were, Giselle looked at the other four companions, Adriana, Candice, Miranda and Emma, ​​Lance, I want you to see the results of our rehearsal, and I'm not sure whether our efforts are correct.

In the past few days, most of Lance's energy has been focused on the technical aspect of the sandstorm scene, while the actors' performance has been slightly relaxed. He knew that for models such as Giselle, the official debut scene was not easy to shoot, because there was almost no help from the lines, and they needed to express their emotions with their eyes and expressions, which is the easiest for Broadway actors. But it is very difficult for models.

Yeah. Lance retracted his chin and nodded.

Then I saw Giselle took a step back, opened a little distance, her expression gradually became serious, her eyebrows leaned slightly in the middle, and she looked at Lance nervously, her expression didn't change much, But the eyes have been working hard.

Lance felt a slight twitch in his temple, So do you have a stomachache or a backache? Giselle growled depressingly, I'm serious about acting! But Lance didn't buy it at all, If this is acting, then the movie will be ruined. Lance had a headache, he didn't have time to know how the models acted, and his eyes fell on Emma, ​​Emma, ​​come and guide them.

Me? Emma was stunned. She had only acted in one work herself, and she was still studying acting hard in the academy. How did she know how to guide the actors?

Lance didn't hesitate too much, Look. Then he turned his head to look at Giselle, Now you start jumping in place, or running in place. Giselle didn't know that Lance bought it in the gourd. What kind of medicine is it, Start! Move. Giselle hurriedly ran on the spot, Imagine, you participated in a magazine shoot today, but due to some accidents, you arrived late, so you trotted rushed into the studio, but you unexpectedly found that the entire photography team has been replaced with new ones, all of them are men, who look like men from the underworld, and there is no familiar face. The point is, your agent has not yet Come here, it's just you and... your two female assistants to deal with the situation.

Giselle's expression suddenly became serious and vigilant, her eyes were full of alienation and vigilance, and her wandering eyes were looking for more familiar clues, but her breathing was still uncontrollably rapid, which made her reveal With a touch of tiredness.

Very good. Lance pressed his palm, That's it.

Giselle stopped, panting lightly, with a puzzled look on her face, Is this all right? She had no idea what she had just done, and in her opinion, she hadn't done anything. In the previous attempt, she also had an acting component, but this time she showed nothing at all. But why is Lance's attitude completely opposite?

By the way, don't look directly into my eyes. During the actual shooting, don't pay attention to the camera. Lance looked at the other models, This is not a photo, and there is no need to focus. After shooting, ignore the existence of the camera as much as possible Just take it easy. None of the models had close-up shots, so the performance didn't need to be so delicate or layered, as long as the emotions were in place.

Lance's eyes finally fell on Emma, ​​Let them relax and get into the situation, that's enough. If I remember correctly, this is the basic course of the acting class, right? Emma nodded. Agreed, Each of you can analyze the characters and you help them identify an emotion and express it, that's enough. Can you do that?

Although Emma is still not an excellent actor, she still has a long way to go; but Emma's talent and hard work are worthy of recognition, and her basic skills are relatively solid. What Emma needs now is to accumulate experience. It is not difficult for her to help the models enter the state; it also allows her to experience performances from different angles, which is also helpful for performances.

Emma still hesitated, What if my analysis is wrong? She is not Lance, and her understanding of the role is not that deep.

Lance shrugged nonchalantly, I'll correct it later. After speaking, Lance turned and left. Those understated words are full of undeniable powerful confidence.

Emma looked at Lance's back, and there was a trace of confusion in her eyes. She was a little worried, because there was an abnormal tiredness in the depths of Lance's eyes, and the impetuousness was well concealed, and she couldn't tell. It just doesn't feel right with Lance. Emma, ​​what about me? What should I do? Candice's lively voice came from the side, and Emma had to withdraw her attention, and then saw everyone's eyes falling on her. , that heavy sense of responsibility made her let out a long sigh of relief. Since Lance entrusted her with this important task, she could not live up to Lance's trust.

Coming back to Michael and Charlize, Lance did not sit down, hesitating for a moment, I'm going to smoke a cigarette. Then he left again.

In the next room, Lance casually leaned against the window and lit a cigarette. His head is aching, and he hasn't had a good rest in the past few days. On the one hand, it's because the crew is under tremendous pressure. On the Road, but the repeated encounters in the shooting still caused headaches; on the other hand, because of the difficulty of shooting itself, the head became a mess.

He needs to calm down to conceive the whole picture pattern, not only need to consider how to compose, how to run, how to edit, but also need to consider the different angles of view to capture the character, which plays a vital role in expressing the character's personality. In addition, it is also necessary to consider the interpretation significance of the screen and characters to the core theme...

Closing his eyes, Lance saw Nax driving the car, frantically stepping on the accelerator, preparing to complete a suicide attack. In the storm, the small classic Chevrolet looked like a bee that would be sucked into a tornado at any time, but she steadfastly moved towards the chariot, even if it was a car. The billowing red sandstorm spread mightily, bursting out with a powerful momentum, which was no less than that of a chariot. At this moment, Firosha, who was driving the chariot, and Max, who was hung on the roof of the car as a blood bag, were all overshadowed. The fanatical paranoia of Nax bloomed a strange, evil but jaw-dropping expression. Glorious light.

Max... Max is like a kite at this time, hanging behind Nax's car and flying the kite.

However, Max never gave up. His strong will to survive allowed him to grasp a chance of life in a desperate situation and prevent a disaster from happening. Wait, Max? How should he play Max? In this desperate environment, what is his state of mind? What is his attitude towards Nax?

Lance suddenly realized that recently he had been standing in the position of director to dispatch the entire crew, but he had neglected the role of Max. This can definitely be said to be a fatal mistake, because Max wants to keep pace with Firoza in the limited pen and ink, which means that Lance must give Max more souls, otherwise he will be completely wasted. Rosa stole the show.

The lighting team...the special effects team...the performances of the models...the sound team...Charlize and Michael's rehearsal practice...Max's performance... countless information drilled into the head, so crowded that there was no room left, as if His head was about to explode, which made Lance feel a little powerless for the first time.

The storm stopped! The storm raging outside the window stopped in the blink of an eye, and there were still sand particles floating in the air that had not settled down, but this had no effect on the shooting of the next scene. Lance suddenly realized that the opportunity they had been waiting for for three days had finally arrived, so he turned around, came into the hall, and shouted, The storm has stopped! Get ready to shoot now!
