Chapter 310 Battle Hymn of Kyushu
"Ka, not bad."

Director Tang Tian looked at the image displayed on the monitor and nodded in satisfaction.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's take a break first. The clothing department will touch up the makeup of the artists, and we will take two more close-ups later."

As soon as the director's words fell, all the staff on the shooting site finally seemed relieved and applauded unconsciously.

Without him.

For this scene, in order to keep improving and create beautiful visual effects in the later stage, so far, I don’t know how many shots have been shot back and forth.

In fact, the acting skills of Yu Xizhou and other leading actors are all online, and as everyone cooperates more and more tacitly, they can already pass one by one.

It's just that Tang Tian feels that everyone still has room for improvement, so he keeps asking everyone to start over.After all, this movie is a non-commercial movie he shot in accordance with the commercial film model.

In layman's terms, this is a "literary film" with a large production and high investment.

Originally, Tang Tian didn't intend to make this movie closer to his personal ideals in this period when the movie was very commercialized.

Before Naihe started, he held a discussion meeting with Mr. Jiang and Qin Mingsheng, the biggest investor of the movie.

Tang Tian was persuaded by Jiang Li on the spot, and started the film's commercial transformation into literary art, and Qin Mingsheng, who was in the meeting with him, did not have any opinions because he was a diehard fan of Jiang Li.

Therefore, this movie, which Mr. Jiang named "Battle Hymn of Kyushu" in the end, turned into a "literary film" of a commercial masterpiece.

Although the film had a little problem in the early stage of filming.For example: What technology was used to shoot?

"Battle Hymn of Kyushu" is a real movie about cultivating immortals, so it will inevitably involve some grand scenes.After all, in the theme of cultivating immortals, in addition to the two worlds of immortals and demons, there are also demons and ghosts.

But for this kind of theme, in terms of special effects technology, apart from the conventional real scene plus green screen, traditional special effects that basically rely on hands.

There is also a very expensive "CG special effects" and a slightly expensive "motion capture" technology.

First, let’s talk about the CG special effects of a green screen and a world.

To put it bluntly, in a huge studio, put tights on each actor and wear a helmet camera.

Finally, very regular green motion capture points were placed on the faces of the actors, and the actors were scanned into 1:1 3D digital characters through [-]D scanning.

In addition to requiring actors to pose at least 150 sets of actions and expressions.Basically, it is a movie produced through post-production technology.

In addition to the high cost of special effects, if this movie is converted into CG animation, it will be a relatively serious challenge in terms of time.

When Michelle Animation made the movie "Magic Boy", it took nearly 3 years. It took nearly 4 days to polish and modify the scene of a character less than 337s.

Although in this way, the special effects and the texture of fighting in the later stage have improved.But it is very easy to lower the appearance of the leading actors by more than one level.

In addition, Tang Tian himself is particularly fond of "real scene shooting".So in the end, the highest investor Qin Mingsheng's proposal to turn this movie into a live-action CG animation was rejected.

After all, this kind of feeling that there is a green screen first, and then there is heaven and earth, it is always impossible for the director to feel whether the actors' movements and expressions are synchronized with the avatar, and whether they can present the effect they want.

But using conventional techniques and special effects to shoot a movie with such a magnificent background will also make the final film greatly discounted in the visual feast.

After Tang Tian continued to communicate with the company's post-production department, and watched some finished films about "motion capture" with Mr. Jiang.

In the end, it was decided that "Battle Hymn of Kyushu" would use this new technology of "motion capture" to create those extraordinary scene effects in the movie.

The later problem was solved, that is, the problem of real scene and scene design.Fortunately, this kind of thing that could be solved completely through money was quickly overcome with the efforts of Mr. Jiang and everyone on the set.

In addition to the leading role, several professional action actors, wearing special equipment, used their bodies to express the effect director Tang Tian wanted, and then rendered it in post-production.

An imaginary ghost and ghost appeared in front of his eyes so faithfully.

During the lead actor's break, director Tang Tian received the post-production special effects clip of about 30 seconds.Looking at the detailed expression, the face is so real that you can see the "virtual reality" effect of rough texture.

Can't help feeling: "Fortunately, I insisted on my own ideas at the time, and didn't fully follow Mr. Qin's suggestion to change this movie into a CG animation."

"If it weren't for this finished product, I really wouldn't be able to achieve this feeling."

Tang Tian praised the post-production special effects to the film producer next to him, and at the same time rejoiced in his heart.If it was really according to Mr. Qin's idea at that time, it would be directly changed to some kind of CG animation.

I'm afraid that the "distortion" of the animation, even if you spend a lot of money, may not be able to produce a good effect.Instead, everyone's efforts were delayed, and such a good script and Mr. Jiang's support were let down.

Although this digital technology also increased a lot of post-production costs, Tang Tian obviously didn't think so.

On the one hand, Jiang Li and Qin Mingsheng, as the two major investors of this movie, were very generous in various expenses.On the other hand, Tang Tian believes that if he can't pay attention to the details, it is easy to be complained by the audience and cause a drama.

It was the first time that director Tang Tian, ​​who had such a relatively new technology, was employed in his own work.When communicating with the later stage, there will always be some difficulties in hand-drawing storyboards.

Fortunately, after Tang Tian asked Jiang Li for help, Jiang Li called a staff member who was very familiar with this aspect.

With the help of the other party, Tang Tian changed the traditional movie preview mode, which originally needed to use hand-drawn sketches to create storyboards, into a pre-rendering mode. After visualizing the movie scenes and shooting effects, he finally solved this problem. .

Tang Tian reckoned that the special effects problems were almost resolved, as long as they were filming for about three months, there should be no problems on the whole.

 I haven't updated in a while, sorry.Because of the previous variety show, I didn't have much inspiration...
