Director’s Legend

"Cool!"

Jin Long opened his mouth, and the clips of just a few seconds were completely headless and tailless, but under the impact of the high-definition picture, the shock was beyond words!

It turns out that the purpose of those water tanks is not to create big waves, but to create such an impact!

Cool, so cool!

Jin Long couldn't help clapping his hands. The virgin man akimbo his hips and said triumphantly: "How about it, are you blushing! Brother told you that the website that brother found is not a normal spam website. This is "Inception "The publicity website of ". You are not analyzing all the time, how is "Inception", do you want to know this website?"

"The virgin man, quickly tell me the URL."

"Call my brother!"

"..."

"Hurry up, don't call or give."

"...Brother Wen..."

The experience of Jin Long is just a small dish for Inception propaganda. More propaganda methods will appear in the follow-up. And now, Shao Shuaijun is leading the crew to Cardington in London, England.

Cardington is an airport in London, about the product of the last century, and later transformed into a photography base. There is a huge stage built here, and almost any setting can be modified on it. As there is enough space, you can also perform all-round tests at will to ensure that all angles of up, down, left, and right can meet the shooting requirements. The crew of "Inception" is fancy such benefits.

Clang, clang, clang.

The sound of machinery rang out throughout the set.

In the big shed on the stage, a very strange device. The workers are debugging.

"What is the selection of the material for the scenery? Can it ensure safety?" Standing under the steel equipment, Shao Shuaijun touched the material inside. This set is actually a hotel corridor, wrapped in a steel frame, and placed in the pulley brush system.

The pulley brush system is a large support frame that can rotate. The hotel corridor was built to shoot a scene of weightless fighting, which was affected by the shallow dream in the dream. Cause gravity disorder. Upside down. In order to create a scene where the actors are standing and fighting on the roof, the center of gravity must be constantly changed, and only a rotating corridor can be built here.

A 30-degree inclined bar and an upside-down hotel room will be built one after another.

"Our original idea was a 40-foot-long corridor, but because of the angle and depth. The final one was 100-foot-long. Outside the corridor wall. Eight rings concentric with the corridor were placed at equal distances. This made the corridor possible. Hanging and rotating. Outside the corridor walls, these rings are operated by two huge motors."

Special effects director Tris Kobold continued to explain: "The speed of this rotating set can basically reach 1 minute and 8 weeks. It can create an ideal weightless effect. But to ensure the actions of the actors. We need a lot of Wia To fix and lift."

Dong Wei went on to say: "We originally wanted to directly synthesize the action with special effects, but it was too difficult. So with Wia, one person fixed the body with twenty roots to prevent falling, and then in the post-production special effects, the Wia Erase. Although it's a bit more complicated, it's more realistic than the synthesized action."

"It's a good way to hang Wia, but you must ensure the safety of the actors and don't get hurt!"

"Don’t worry, the director, because the actors are going to be bounced around in our scenes, we use soft materials to build our sets. Fortunately, many modern hotels now use walls when decorating interiors. Covered with leather or textiles. We just need to imitate this decorating style and replace the bricks behind with soft fillers.” said art director Guy Hendex Dyce.

Shao Shuaijun nodded with satisfaction: "Nevertheless, we still need to pay attention to whether door handles and lamps are ‘fragile’ and whether they can be destroyed smoothly under strong force. In short, we must ensure the safety of the actors."

Filming of the hotel corridors began the next day.

Early on, Dong Wei took the action design team and began to hang Wia to the actors.

"Bob, when you push the gyroscope out of the guide rail, remember the depth of the lens I said. Don't advance too fast. I will look at the monitor later to tell you to move forward and backward." Shao Shuaijun told the camera crew Assign the task, because in the pulley brush system, in order to maintain the stability of the shooting picture, the camera is still fixed with a gyroscope.

Bob nodded: "The placement of the second seat, shall we adopt the fixed type?"

"Yes, wait a minute to see the effect. If not, add a set of guide rails and gyroscopes." Shao Shuaijun looked at the whole set and illuminated it with yellow light to prevent light scattering in the hotel, that is, enough light. "Is this light too soft?"

"It's not too soft. When I graded yesterday, I shot a set of negatives and the light distribution was very good."

Seeing that all the preparations are done, Shao Shuaijun stood under the pulley brush, reconfirmed that the actors are in place, and shouted to start.

Ang Ang Ang!

The pulley brush moves, like a merry-go-round, slowly turning in circles.

Woo, although the speed is very slow, the sound of the wind is not small, and the noise of the bearing suddenly echoes the roar of the machine throughout the set.

Shao Shuaijun picked up the helmet on his head, rubbed his sweat, put it on again, and then stared at the monitor intently. At the far end of the corridor, Dong Wei sits on a special seat, holding the walkie-talkie in his hand as the pulley brush rotates, constantly instructing the actors how to act.

The walkie-talkie is connected to the big speakers in the corridor, otherwise the actor would not hear it at all under such noisy circumstances.

"Ka! Jack, your position is wrong, and your performance is unnatural. Put your arms to be natural and don't be affected by Via!"

"Ka! Leo, pay attention to the angle, I can't take your face anymore!"

"Ka! Tom (playing the Eames the Forger), go back to your place and shoot!"

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Re-arrangement, too messy!"

"Okay, do it again!"

"Ka! Don't bother you if you can't stand, finish the action first, you can't fall!"

"Very good, this set of shots is over, change to another one!"

The filming stumbled, but after a period of exploration, the actors got used to it very well, and the next progress will be greatly accelerated. Filming is taking place in the corridors of the hotel here, and there is also a 30-degree tilting bar and a vertical angle conversion device.

This vertical angle conversion is in the movie. The dream builder Eredani changed the structure of the road. The road formed became vertical, which changed the gravity of physics, so when people set foot on it, they would also change their center of gravity. The scene will be shot in Paris, France, but the action of the characters is completed here, and the complete shot is finally synthesized.

"This vertical angle converter should work well. Allen and Leo, you can try it out." Shao Shuaijun asked them to climb up, and then Dong Wei explained the main points and started the experiment.

"One, two, three! Start!"

Click, the vertical angle converter was activated, originally one side was horizontal and the other side was vertical, and then it turned immediately.

"Ouch!" Alan Page made a mistake and fell directly to the ground, embarrassed.

"Haha." Shao Shuaijun and others laughed from below. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
