Chapter 479: Chaotic technology

However, after returning to London, things related to the "Harry Potter" series took up only a small part of Charlotte's time. &1t;/p>

After handing over the matter to Alexis and asking him to make a request for entrustment to ea, he temporarily ignored this aspect of the matter. &1t;/p>

At present, Charlotte's main energy is still on the shooting of "The Mummy". &1t;/p>

Different from the location in Morocco, the shots in the British Isles are more green-screen photography, as well as some lenses that require a lot of scenery. &1t;/p>

—In short, it is the scenes of the resurrected mummies and the exploration in the catacombs in the movie. &1t;/p>

Such a lens, rather than arduously arranging it on location, it would be better to have it carefully crafted after returning to the UK. &1t;/p>

In particular, in addition to general green screen photography, this time the Ghost Party Studio also used motion capture technology. &1t;/p>

-It is mainly used when the high priest Immortal has not changed into a human form after his resurrection, but is still in the form of a mummy. &1t;/p>

In that case, using motion capture technology is naturally more realistic than pure cg motion production. &1t;/p>

Of course, Charlotte, who has magic special effects that can be used, will not let her own advantages go unused. &1t;/p>

In fact, many shots of Imerton as a mummified form were originally shot by Charlotte using magical special effects. &1t;/p>

—Similar to the previous shots of the Headless Horseman in "Guillotine Valley". &1t;/p>

This time, he used magic to steal a fragment of a real mummy from the Egyptian room in the British Museum. &1t;/p>

Then, based on this fragment, combined with the collected broken soul fragments, Charlotte directly created a mummy-like ghost. &1t;/p>

—Of course, it's just a similarity. Although there are ghosts and monsters with cold and terrifying auras, they do not possess entities like real mummies. &1t;/p>

However, for the filming of the film "The Mummy", this is enough. &1t;/p>

Many of their motion capture shots are actually just a look. &1t;/p>

Under the lens of Addison Yang, who is in charge of shooting, the ghost of the "mummy" attached to the stuntman has already turned it into a real mummy. It does not need to be like a normal motion capture lens. Also need post-processing. &1t;/p>

However, not all shots can be handled in this way. &1t;/p>

Some actions that violate the human body structure, or the more exaggerated shots, the effects of magic special effects are not ideal. &1t;/p>

These parts really need to use computer special effects to do the post-improvement. &1t;/p>

It can be said that although the Ghost Party Studio has advantages over other computer special effects companies in terms of cost and effect of many special effects due to Charlotte's magic effects, they also have a unique problem—&1t; /p>

That is how to organically combine ordinary computer effects and Charlotte's magic effects. &1t;/p>

At this point, in order to keep it secret, other technicians can’t help. The only person who can help Charlotte is Alexis, the named technical director, who actually works as a secretary for Charlotte most of the time. Guys. &1t;/p>

Fortunately, as a Valkyrie, Alexis is capable of borrowing other people's abilities. &1t;/p>

-Just like before borrowing the wisdom of the British general to deduct the rules of the Quidditch game in a dream. &1t;/p>

Therefore, Charlotte was not worried that this technical problem could not be solved, but Alexis, in order to borrow the skills of the staff in the special effects department, deliberately gave everyone an extra hour of lunch break at noon, which made him speechless. &1t;/p>

"Well, I am a good boss who cares about the sleep quality of employees!"&1t;/p>

Charlotte complained so much. &1t;/p>

In fact, he also understands why Alexis wants to do this—&1t;/p>

Even if you use maneuvers and borrow the wisdom of other people's brains, it will be much easier when you sleep than when you are awake. &1t;/p>

What's more, without Charlotte's mana support, Alexis would not be able to cross the distance of space, pulling people from different positions into the same dream as when deducing the Quidditch rule. &1t;/p>

In this case, let the employees who need to be borrowed by themselves dream when they work in the company, no, it is the lunch break, which has become the easiest way to achieve Alexis. &1t;/p>

"She probably wants to complete this work independently without using my mana!"&1t;/p>

Charlotte sighed. &1t;/p>

Since Miss Valkyrie has this ambition, Charlotte is naturally inconvenient to attack. &1t;/p>

In addition, if the other party can succeed in doing this, it will indeed greatly reduce Charlotte's burden. &1t;/p>

So Charlotte agreed. &1t;/p>

*********&1t;/p>

Except for the movement of the mummy and other parts that require the combination of motion capture and magic effects, many other parts of the movie also need to use conventional computer special effects such as green screen technology to some extent. &1t;/p>

For example, when exploring in the tomb, the scene of encountering a large group of corpse beetles is a typical special effect. &1t;/p>

Naturally, it is impossible to get a large number of beetles to surround the actors during filming. &1t;/p>

—Even though Charlotte can use spells to control beetles, where can he find so many big beetles? &1t;/p>

Not to mention that if so many beetles are really brought in, most of the actors will probably be frightened all over, and they will be unable to show their acting skills no matter how good they are. &1t;/p>

Therefore, this part of the lens must be perfected through post-production special effects. &1t;/p>

At present, the actors can only perform various kinds of performances in front of the air in front of the green screen. &1t;/p>

—To be honest, judging from the scene, it was indeed a bit embarrassing. &1t;/p>

Just like the scenes of some dragon actors screaming and being swallowed by a swarm of corpse beetles, when shooting, it seems to be as fake as fake, as exaggerated as exaggerated. &1t;/p>

"Although it looks much more realistic after adding special effects in the later stage, but..."&1t;/p>

The old gun who accompanied Charlotte to watch the original sample frowned, and did not continue to say, but Charlotte already knew what he meant. &1t;/p>

-Actors are still not very comfortable with green screen photography, especially this way of acting against the air. &1t;/p>

This kind of problem is actually very common in special effects blockbusters. &1t;/p>

Even if the technology advances gradually in the future, when there are more than a dozen movies in the Marvel Universe series, this problem still exists—&1t;/p>

Actors are acting against the air, after all, it is difficult to find the feeling of being down-to-earth and mutual excitement when playing against real people. &1t;/p>

It can be said that even some old actors with superb acting skills will be somewhat unnatural when shooting on the green screen and acting against the air. &1t;/p>

—Of course, most of the time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com viewers are not too demanding in this regard. &1t;/p>

In addition, in special effects blockbusters, acting skills and subtle expressions are often not the focus, so it is enough to reach a similar level. &1t;/p>

In fact, similar situations were encountered in the previous photos of Charlotte's "Driftwood" and "Hell Detective". &1t;/p>

But in those two movies, there are far less special effects shots than in "The Mummy", the structure is simple, and the number of actors involved is smaller. &1t;/p>

So after shooting several times, you can get a better performance shot. &1t;/p>

But the special effects shots in "The Mummy" are not that simple—&1t;/p>

On the one hand, there are many. On the other hand, there are often many people in the shots that need to be shot, and many of them are temporary actors. &1t;/p>

Their acting skills are uneven, and it is more difficult for Charlotte to control their acting skills. &1t;/p>

Although it is also possible to use repeated shooting to find the feeling, the more people involved in a shot, the greater the possibility of error. &1t;/p>

If you really want to shoot well, the time cost may be spent a lot. &1t;/p>

"It's a bit like when shooting "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" with a bunch of volatile actors under his hands..."&1t;/p>

Charlotte thought so, but suddenly got an idea...&1t;/p>
