The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1877: Overthrow
Was the scene of the confrontation between the beasts wonderful? wonderful.
Is the scene of the beast Taming confrontation perfect? Not really.
From an objective standpoint, the atmosphere creation and presentation of the whole scene did create a thrilling effect; but it cannot be denied that there is still room for improvement in the motion capture performances of the four stunts——
Looking at it from the overall perspective, Lan Li easily controlled the overall situation, interpreting the confrontation between each other, aura pulling, and so on. This kind of beast-intuitive basic performance is for the current Lan Li, There is no difficulty, the whole process is to enjoy it, and you can even make subtle adjustments during the performance. The last extension and change of the eyes is the extra content.
But it is obvious that there is still room for improvement in the advancing and retreating offensive and defensive of the opponent's play. All four actors can feel the influence of Lan Li's momentum. Unfortunately, their on-the-spot reactions are still lacking. They have not been able to seize the opportunity to penetrate the role and give the animal instinct/intuitive reaction a more fierce and more direct presentation. In effect, their hesitation actually destroyed the original animal nature of the Velociraptor.
Competitive play is often the most intuitive comparison effect, which is good or bad, which is better or worse, at a glance.
The shortcomings of the four actors in acting skills and talents are still exposed; but fortunately, this scene is a picture of motion capture technology, which is more than human details such as facial expressions and eye emotions. What needs to be captured is the demeanor of the action, showing the emotional ups and downs of the character with body movements. This is also the part that the stuntman is best at. They can still keep up with the rhythm of the performance.
At this point, Lan Li is completing the communication for the performance.
"Stripping off human thinking as much as possible, and reacting to Owen's scene control in a more primitive and direct way." Lan Li simply expresses his emotions with his body movements.
"Because this is a kind of instinct. They have established a connection with Irving. Irving can interpret their emotional changes, and they can also interpret Irving's body language. This also presents such a situation: because of Irving Their body language changed. They were able to shift their attention from Irving’s skull to their eyes and complete the communication; but they still couldn’t get rid of the hunting instinct/impulsiveness of treating Irving as food."
With Lan Li's explanation, the core of the entire performance and the context of changes became clear.
Brad was the first to react, "Is this because Irving's position has changed?"
Then, Brad felt that the three companions cast doubtful glances. He explained, "Look, originally Owen was aloft, his image and vision are projected from top to bottom, we observe When Irving, he naturally put Irving in a high position; now Irving has come to the same ground as us, we begin to look down at Irving, although Irving’s body language awakens some of our reflexes, but our body The absolute advantage still allows animality to gain the upper hand, and the instinct/ability to hunt food controls the situation."
After the explanation, Brad turned his head to look at Lan Li, and asked hesitantly, "Is my understanding correct?"
"Exactly!" Lan Li snapped his fingers.
For the director’s lens and the psychology of the character, this change in spatial position can often form a hint. It can change the viewing experience without the lines or plot. At the same time, it is also an extra for the performance of the actors. supplement.
Among the four actors in front of him, it is clear that Brad has the most understanding and research on performance-not to mention whether it is excellent, but at least the theoretical basis is sufficient, which allows him to immediately understand the content of Lan Li's words.
After Brad finished speaking, the other three actors began to think carefully, and now thinking back to the performance just now, many details became logical, especially Lan Li's control of the whole scene, which is so atmospheric The calm control is now fully utilized in the full use of space, and the invisible traction is thus formed.
Everyone says that Lan Li is a talented acting genius.
It is very easy to praise Lan Li. Anyway, the articles and speeches that follow Lan Li have been flooded; but it is not easy to truly understand Lan Li’s excellence, because now Lan Li has entered a higher level, those performance auras , Performance skills, etc. can only be understood and unspeakable.
Today, a relatively simple and relatively straightforward performance scene made the four actors feel the control of Lan Li.
Samuel looked at Lan Li’s gaze and couldn’t help but smile. He recalled his worries before shooting—he was still worried that their increased role might take away Lan Li’s aura, but now it seems, There is no need to worry at all. No wonder Lan Li always understates and knows everything.
Lanly seemed to notice Samuel's gaze and turned his head.
Samuel smiled lightly with his jaw and asked, "Renly, can Brue understand Owen's body language? What level of comprehension should he achieve? I think Brue thinks that Irving does There is a threat because there are huge differences in body size; but Brue also knows that Irving can communicate with himself, so is he still willing to treat Irving as food?"
"I think this is a gradual process, remember? Our movie is still very long. This is only the first communication between Irving and Blue." Lanly's teasing made Samuel laugh directly.
"I think that Brue is like a twelve and thirteen-year-old child-or a teenager of sixteen and seventeen. The specific settings can be more detailed and clear. In fact, he can read a lot of things, but Not completely clear, and then a bit rebellious. Sometimes I just want to conform to my first thoughts, but sometimes I may control myself."
Lanly's explanation made Samuel lightly chin up, and he needed a little time to digest.
"Lan Li, hey, Lan Li!" After waiting and waiting, only to find that Lan Li and the actors had started chatting, Colin finally couldn't help but walked over.
Colin also stood on the outermost layer of the cage, looked at the actors "locked" inside, and said, "I want to discuss with you, can we overturn the remake of this scene?" "
As if worried about Lan Li’s anger, he quickly explained, “It’s not because I’m not satisfied with the content of the performance. On the contrary, I think the tension between you is very good. It’s exceptional! It’s beyond imagination! I want to switch the panorama. To show the overall feeling, just like the game of Go, you know, we can see the moves and games of all the chess pieces, and show the entire dragon. This also means that your horn relationship can appear on the screen. The tight and exciting atmosphere must be very exciting!"
As he spoke, Colin was also excited.
"Not only is it a panoramic view, but we can also mobilize the camera 360 degrees, just like an oriental movie-that is the kind of Hong Kong/Hong Kong martial arts movie, which presents the confrontation situation from a surround perspective, the kind of martial arts of Lan Li The posture has a special feeling. It mobilizes the relationship between Owen and the four Velociraptors. There is no need to switch short shots to create rhythm, but to show the relationship between each other through the camera's pan and tilt. This is true. It's so exciting!"
Colin was about to jump, his mouth splashed and talked about the inspiration burst in his mind. In the end, Lan Li had to interrupt him aloud, "Calm down, calm down!" It was like training a raptor, "Ke Lin, first, we need to maintain the photographic style and editing style of the entire movie; second, we can’t spend too much time on this scene, and be careful not to procrastinate. Rhythm is the most important priority."
It is clear that Colin is the director, but in the end he needs Lan Li to control the situation? What is going on here?
But thinking that Colin is shooting a feature film for the first time seems not so unusual.
"Oh oh oh." Colin nodded repeatedly, seeming to be hit, muttering something "I think it's good", and then stood in place and thought about it seriously, "Otherwise, let's use the panorama and scheduling to shoot once. Looking at the effect, I think this presentation effect is more atmospheric and exciting than close-up editing and stitching. We can't waste your wonderful performances, can we?"
Before Lan Li could speak, the four actors behind him nodded and looked like groundhogs. They couldn't wait to express their positivity—because this could increase their performance, they naturally couldn't ask for it.
But Colin cast his gaze at Lan Li: he needs Lan Li to nod. Although Lan Li said to everyone that it was Colin who really made the decision on the crew, and that was indeed the case; Colin would still subconsciously ask Lan Li’s opinion, and all things would be based on Lan Li’s first sight~www.mtlnovel. com~Len Li still did not refute Colin’s enthusiasm, nodded in agreement, and then added, "Colin, are you going to compose the shot with a panoramic view or a mid-range shot? If the depth of field is different, our position will also need to be adjusted. Use the surrounding environment to create a sense of the picture, otherwise it will be self-defeating."
Lan Li is not a director. In this respect, he is not a professional. However, because of Edith, Lan Li still has a basic aesthetic for photographic composition. Coupled with years of experience in acting, he also knows that the work of director is definitely not recorded by lens. The performance is so simple, there are still many details that need to be refined, which in turn puts more demands on the actor's performance, so he still needs to complete the communication with Colin.
This is what Colin is good at. He nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, let's use a rocker camera to capture the picture first, and see how the picture feels, and then arrange the position and movement. This scene needs to be re-adjusted. Some walks." After speaking, Colin couldn't wait to turn around and get busy.
Although it is to overthrow all the shooting content just now, Colin is not at all frustrated, but is still eager to try.
In the crew, you can devote yourself to your work, and you can find your own fun in any position. This is the most wonderful part.
