The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 1066: new challenge

Standing in place, he raised his head and looked up and down at the behemoth in front of him, not only shocked, but also confused. The puzzling puzzle:

How did the shooting go? How does the performance go? How does the camera capture it?

Placed in the center of the open space on the right is a huge transparent box, about two stories high, but the space is not large. The width should be about three meters, like an enlarged version of a London street phone booth; however, the surrounding ones The walls are not red. Strictly speaking, the adjective "transparent" is also wrong. It looks transparent, but in fact it is meshed.

After I walked in, I saw the entity of the wall clearly: it turned out to be an LED screen! The LED bulbs are densely packed and neatly divided!

Light box, light box, now Lan Li finally understands why this item is called "light box".

“There are a total of 1.8 million LED bulbs here.” Timothy Webber was standing at the entrance of the light box. “According to different shooting requirements, the intensity and angle of the light can be adjusted at any time. This folding door will be closed, all the staff are standing outside, there is only one actor inside, and the entire performance space belongs to you."

Following Timothy's explanation, Lan Li approached the door, and the scene inside gradually became clear.

In the center is a simple white basket, which is like an amusement park’s excitement and play props. It can be swayed and swayed. At the same time, the base of the white basket is also a turntable, which can be rotated three hundred and sixty degrees; under the base is a Simple cross-shaped track, convenient for horizontal and vertical movement. There are racks for fixing cameras in different positions of the whole equipment.

On a wall near the entrance, on the left and right corners directly above, a huge robotic arm hangs respectively, which is exactly the same as the one used for the shooting props on the left. The flexible joints and dense gears give the robotic arm even more. Multi-rotation space, top-down viewing angle gives the camera a different angle.

In addition, outside the door of the light box, there are also several huge instruments.

One of them looks like a Russian turntable. On a round turntable, there are several handles fixed. The actors can stand on it and simulate the classic poster of "The Da Vinci Code", presenting a large font appearance.

Lan Li's eyes showed a novel look, as if he had come into contact with a new toy. Although he didn't know how to play with it, he still couldn't wait to play.

In fact, Lanli can guess that different appliances should be suitable for different scenes and pictures, simulating different situations, and presenting the effect in space as realistically as possible; LED bulbs are used to adjust the lights, and the robotic arms are used to adjust. The shooting angle, through the change of visual effects, creates a true feeling of weightlessness.

In the last life, as an audience, Lan Li was amazed by the reality and shock of "gravity"; in this life, as an actor, he will experience himself in the production.

"In the actual shooting, what is the state of the actors' performance?" The question was not Lan Li, but Rooney. Lan Li couldn't help turning his head, cast his eyes, and the two exchanged a tacit look. Obviously, both actors were concerned about the same topic. "I mean, the basket can turn and move? What about the change in the space between the actor and the camera?"

Lan Li nodded, and then added, "Can that basket rotate at high speed? Or does the camera rotate?"

Movement is relative. When one unit is displaced, it cannot produce enough high-speed motion effects. Then two units are displaced in different directions at the same time to create the effect of superimposing speed. It's like a moment when two racing cars meet head-on on a highway.

"The basket cannot be rotated at a high speed." The explanation was Alfonso. Obviously, in addition to the design of these props, Alfonso also participated in all the work. "When simulating weightlessness, the basket can only move up to forty-five. The degree is inclined, once it exceeds this angle, the actor is in danger of falling off, and we cannot take risks."

Alfonso walked into the light box in two strides, shook the basket, and began to explain with gestures, "In the actual shooting process, the basket will shift horizontally and vertically, and adjust the angle to the left forty-five degrees. , Forty-five degrees on the right, shaking within a 90-degree right angle, but overall, the speed will not be too fast, more it shows a change in perspective.

Afterwards, Alfonso raised his finger to the two robotic arms above, "All the speed and impact are caused by the movement of the two IRIS robotic arms to create the effect of relative displacement. Moreover, if the actor's body rotates Too intense, gravity can easily cause facial congestion, which will not only destroy the picture, but also break the sense of space that we have created."

Timothy's voice came from the left, and he didn't say much, but stood beside a console and began to remote control.

Suddenly, the robotic arm moved quickly, slamming into the basket at an incredibly high speed, but before it was about to break the bones, it stopped dangerously. This really made both Lan Li and Rooney. Shocked.

But Timothy and Alfonso both had a calm face. Alfonso explained, "All these controls are adjusted by the double insurance of computer and manual control. We can be accurate to within one millimeter. Gap. In the movie, we have many shots that collide, collide, and explode. At this time, the actor is basically still and the basket does not move. Instead, the robot arm is used to complete the collision."

While talking, Alfonso turned his head to look at Lan Li, "In one scene, the camera will hit you at a speed of forty kilometers per hour, stopping at a distance of three centimeters from you, and this process You must remain motionless, how about it, can you do it?"

Alfonso’s eyes burst with eager light, faintly bursting out a kind of extreme sports courage and courage, but it made Lan Li laugh blankly, turned his head, and then saw the absurdity and urgency emerging from Rooney’s eyes. Joy, and then the two chuckled at the same time.

"Uh, I will try my best. But the physiological response still needs habit and control." It's like free-hand rock climbing. Muscle trembling is inevitable at the beginning, but after getting used to it, adrenaline can defeat the body's instincts. "I think Inquire about the displacement speed and range of motion of this robotic arm."

"IRIS robotic arm." Timothy's voice came over, revealing a sense of dissatisfaction. After feeling the sight of Renly and Rooney, he emphasized again, "IRIS robotic arm, she has a name."

She, not it.

Lan Li apologized with his jaw lightly.

Timothy was satisfied, and then explained, “The IRIS robotic arm has a movement speed of four meters per second, a movement radius of three meters, and an accuracy of zero and four millimeters. There are as many as seven joint axes on top at the same time. It is also equipped with a lateral movement of Guidong, which is enough to complete all the complicated and delicate movements and take shots with various tricky angles as you like."

Lan Li didn't speak immediately, but digested it carefully, and then said his thoughts:

"So, you mean, my job is to be fixed in the basket, and then motionless, all the remaining movements and changes are done by the camera, I can concentrate on the performance.

There may even be extreme situations, just like what Alfonso said. In order to create the effect of perspective impact, the camera may tell to hit me, but I can’t move, and I can’t leak the horse’s feet. I have to show how I hit it. ? "

Alfonso and Timothy exchanged a glance, and finally Alfonso nodded, "Yes, basically."

Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth and closed his jaw meaningfully.

From this point of view, although the environment has changed, the technique and feel of the entire shooting are basically the same as "buried alive." The actors are trapped in a narrow space, complete all the performances, and leave the rest to the photographer and director. That's all. The only difference is that "buried alive" is a simple wooden box, and "the center of the earth" "Gravity" is a luxurious light box.

However, Lan Li knew that this was certainly not all.

"Can I test it myself?" Lan Li asked eagerly, "I mean, I just sit in the basket and try the actual effects and feelings. If possible, you can even schedule the camera. I'll come. Looking for the feeling of shooting?"

Alfonso did not speak, Timothy did not speak, the two were just exchanging eyes.

Lan Li couldn't help but think of the 1.8 million light bulbs in front of him~lightnovelpub.net~ Obviously, the cost of this appliance is definitely not a small figure, "Sorry, if my request is too much..."

"No, no, no, absolutely not." Alfonso waved his hand again and again, and laughed brightly. "In fact, we have been waiting for you to join us. We can conduct some experimental shooting and test the effect of the finished product. You need to find The feeling of performance, we also need to find the feeling of the picture, not only Timothy and I, but also Emmanuel, we have been waiting."

"It's just..." Alfonso paused and turned around, "It's just that I'm not sure about your state, after all..."

This morning, Lanly had just arrived in London on a long-distance flight. After getting off the plane, without any rest adjustments, he arrived in Surrey directly from Heathrow Airport by car.

"Ha, don't worry." Lan Li waved his hand. On the plane, his sleep has always been stable, and the jet lag has been adjusted. "So, shall we start now?"

"Of course it couldn't be better." Timothy's voice was cheerful, and he felt his initiative for the first time.

Turning her head, Lan Li noticed Rooney's eager gaze. Before he could speak, she said directly, "You first, and then it's my turn." The lively tone was obviously overwhelming.

"Maybe, you need a cup of coffee." The subtext is to imply that it may take a long time, so wait in line slowly. Such an answer caused Rooney to roll her eyes silently, causing Lan Li to chuckle, and then stepped into the light box.
