Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

"Jessica..." Martin stood in front of the light box and asked loudly, "How do you feel now?"

Jessica patted the jib fixed on her body and made an "ok" gesture to Martin.

"I'm fine."

"Pay attention to your expression." Martin reminded.

In this part of the scene, only Jessica's face was shot in real life. Other things in the outer space scene, including space suits, space stations, and the (earth) earth, were all CG-made.

"How are the steel cables prepared?"

Martin asked about the props again.

"Ready."

Because there will be a shot of Jessica's character floating across the spacecraft later, Martin does not plan to use any large props simulating a space capsule for this shot, which is too troublesome. Instead, he plans to use 12 steel cables - hang Jessica up like a puppet, and let her do actions that violate gravity, such as rolling, hanging upside down, and even "lying flat" in the air.

"Jesse, pay attention to the picture on the LED screen, and be sure to pay attention to your expression!"

Martin reminded Jessica again and returned to his director's seat.

This shot will have a close-up of Jessica's eyes. In the close-up, her eyes and the reflection on the helmet must be made in detail and accurately, so as not to reflect things that do not belong to the movie and cause mistakes.

…………

After completing several of her scenes, Jessica came down from the metal frame to rest. Because of the long-term simulation of weightlessness, her sense of balance has not yet recovered, so she can only sit on the chair.

Leonardo came over, "How do you feel?"

Jessica smiled and said, "Not bad."

Leonardo also smiled and nodded and said, "Your ability to adapt is much better than mine. Being young is good."

At this time, Martin was communicating with the photographer and lighting technician.

"I hope that the lighting design can include three main light sources: distant hard sunlight, soft light reflected from the earth, and occasional reflected light from the moon."

The staff of the Houston Space Center who was listening said: "Martin, this setting does not match the real appearance of outer space, nor does it look like the inside of the space station..."

He explained: "In space, people face pitch black, and can only see part of the sun, part of the earth, and occasionally the moon. The three light sources cannot appear in the field of vision at the same time."

Martin nodded and said: "Thank you, I know that's the case, but if it is really handled in this way, what is presented in the lens will be too boring, and the more than 100-minute film will not have so many attractions, so I decided to change the lighting here."

"Oh, if it is an artistic processing, then there is no problem."

The staff of the Houston Space Center laughed.

After all, he is just a consultant, and he only needs to make suggestions. Martin still makes the decision.

Martin continued to say to the cameraman and lighting technician: "I need you toTry a few times to find the most suitable light properties - whether the light is hard or soft, what is the reflectivity, what is the color, all these data should be recorded. "

He thought for a while and continued: "These seemingly small details can allow us to create many different environments. It should be noted that the movement of spacecraft is very fast, and it will experience several days and nights within 24 hours. "

A few days later, Martin found the effect he wanted.

When the special effects were completed, everyone was amazed, including the consultant from Houston.

This is a breathtaking sunset scene-

Distant view: The sun opposite the water-blue planet gradually disappears on its back; (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Close-up: Ryan Stone, played by Jessica, finally turned into the dark starry sky, where there was almost no light, only a faint light from the inside of the helmet.

"Oh my God, this is so beautiful and terrifying at the same time. "The Houston consultant said to Martin in amazement, "You are right, such a picture can definitely attract the audience."

Jessica covered her chest with excitement and said incoherently: "Oh my God, oh my God, this is what I shot, this is what I shot..."

"This shot will definitely be included in the classics of film history." Leonardo said with great confidence.

Then he looked at his good brother with admiration.

Sometimes I really want to cut open his head to see how he can have so many wonderful ideas?!

The technician in front of the computer was explaining to Martin the completion process of this scene.

"Based on your storyboard script, Mr. Meyers, we first created the corresponding (earth) earth landscape, and then designed specific lighting and color clues according to the lighting engineer's data... In this scene, Ryan Stone is in the space above the African desert, and the sun enters the field of vision, so the color of the earth will be very warm, and the reflected light on her face will also be warm. We used high-definition satellite maps as the basis for lighting changes..."

"Then we started to create simple previs animations for the entire film based on the camera and character movements in the entire film set by the production team..."

"'I remember that the camera movement in this section was very complicated. Did you encounter any trouble in creating the animation?" Martin asked.

The technician smiled confidently: "There were some minor troubles, but we solved them. We started with the simplest way, first with storyboards, then a bunch of puppets and toy space stations and toy space shuttles," explained the technician named Lubezki, "We discussed this original plan with the animator. This plan of using models first and then having the animator make black and white animations is very good, and then adding volume, color and lighting. This is indeed a layer of additional work, and the real trouble is tedious..."

The cameraman on the side also smiled when he recalled the original shooting process: "I have never shot a scene with such a complex camera movement.Head, these combinations are really necessary when shooting character movement in zero gravity, because your character is constantly rotating. "

"For example, (Li Zhao of the film), we started shooting from Leonardo's face, and then moved the camera to Jessica, who was rotating at different speeds. You shot around her and then pulled back to Leonardo. The only thing to note is that if you backed up directly to Leonardo, the next thing you shot was his feet. So we had to start over and design the storyboard, sometimes you suddenly find something surprising, and sometimes you have to change the whole scene..."

The lighting director interrupted: "This is really a very special shooting process, I feel that we all learned a lot."

Martin smiled: "Yes, we are all learning while shooting, because what we are about to show the audience is a film that has never been seen before. I think after this film, we can all call ourselves experts in the space science fiction genre. ”[]

Everyone laughed.
