1877 Overthrow and start over
Is the scene of the confrontation between tame animals exciting? Wonderful.
Is this scene of a confrontation between tamed animals perfect? Not.
From an objective standpoint, the atmosphere creation and presentation of the entire scene indeed created a thrilling effect; but it cannot be denied that there is still room for improvement in the motion capture performances of the four stuntmen.——
Looking at it from an overall perspective, Renly easily controlled the overall situation, and vividly interpreted the confrontation between each other, the pull of the aura, etc. This kind of beastly intuitive basic performance is for the current Renly. There is no difficulty at all. You can enjoy it all the way. You can even make slight adjustments during the performance. The extension and change of the last look are additional content..
But it is obvious that there is still room for improvement in the attack and defense of the opponent's scenes. All four actors can feel the impact of Renly's momentum. Unfortunately, their on-the-spot reactions are still lacking, and they failed to seize the opportunity to penetrate the character and grasp the character. The intuitive reaction of animal instinct gives a more ferocious and direct presentation effect, and their hesitation destroys the original animality of the raptor..
Rival play is often the most intuitive comparison effect. It is clear at a glance whether it is good or bad, which one is superior and which one is inferior..
The shortcomings of the four actors in terms of acting skills and talents were still exposed; but fortunately, this scene is a picture of motion capture technology, which has more human details than facial expressions, eye emotions, etc. What needs to be captured is the movement and demeanor, using body movements to show the emotional ups and downs of the character. This is what stuntmen are best at, and they can still keep up with the rhythm of the performance..
At this time, Renly was finishing the communication for the performance.
“Strip away human thought as much as possible, and react to Owen's control of the scene in a more primitive and direct way." Renly simply used body movements to express his emotions..
“Because this is an 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 a situation: because of Irving's Body language changes, they can shift their attention from Owen's head to his eyes and complete communication; but they still can't get rid of the hunting instinct/impulse to treat Owen as food.”
With Renly's explanation, the core of the entire performance and its changing context became clear..
Brad was the first to react, "Is this because Irving's position has changed?？”
Then, Brad felt the doubtful glances from his three companions. He explained, "You see, Owen is originally from above, and his image and sight are projected from above. We observe When Irving was there, Irving was naturally placed in a high position; now Irving is on the same ground as us, and we begin to look down on Irving. Although Irving's body language awakens certain conditioned reflexes in us, our bodies The absolute advantage still allowed animal nature to gain the upper hand, and the instinct to hunt for food took control of the situation..”
After explaining, Brad turned to look at Renly and asked hesitantly, "Is my understanding correct?？”
“Absolutely right! "Renly snapped his fingers..
For the director's lens and the character's psychology, this change in spatial position can often form a hint. It can change the viewing experience without lines or plot, and it is also an extra for the actor's performance. Replenish.
Among the four actors in front of him, Brad obviously has the most understanding and research on acting - not to mention whether he is excellent, but at least the theoretical basis is sufficient, which allows him to immediately understand the content of Renly's words..
After Brad finished speaking, the other three actors began to think about it carefully. Now that they think about the performance just now, many details become logical, especially Renly's control of the entire scene, which is grand and elegant. The steady control is completely reflected in the full use of space, and the invisible traction is formed in this way..
Everyone says Renly is an acting genius.
It is very easy to praise Renly. Anyway, articles and comments about Renly have been flooded now; but it is not easy to truly understand the excellence of Renly, because now Renly has entered a higher level and has those performance auras. , performance skills, etc. can only be understood but cannot be explained..
Today, a relatively simple and direct performance scene made the four actors feel Renly's control firsthand..
Samuel couldn't help but smile when he looked at Renly at this time. He recalled his worries before starting filming - he was still worried that their additional scenes might take away Renly's halo, but now it seems that, There is no need to worry about it at all. No wonder Renly always behaves in an understatement and has a plan in mind..
Renly seemed to notice Samuel's gaze and turned his head.
Samuel nodded with a smile and asked proactively, "Renly, can Blue understand Owen's body language? What level of understanding should he have? I think Blue thinks Owen can't." There is a threat because there is a huge difference in size; but Blue also knows that Irving can communicate with him, so is he still willing to treat Irving as food?？”
“I think it's a gradual process, remember? Our movie is still very long, this is just the initial communication between Owen and Blue." Renly's teasing made Samuel laugh out loud..
“I think Blue is like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old child—or a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old teenager. The specific setting can be more detailed and clear. In fact, he can understand a lot of things, but he is not Completely clear, and then a little rebellious. Sometimes I simply want to follow my first thoughts, but sometimes I may be able to control myself..”
Renly's explanation made Samuel tilt his head slightly. He needed a moment to digest it..
“Renly, hey Renly! "After waiting and waiting, he found that Renly and the actors were already chatting. Colin finally couldn't help it and came over on his own initiative..
Colin also stood on the outermost layer of the animal cage, looking at the actors "locked" inside, and said loudly, "I want to discuss with you, can we overturn the reshoot of this scene?"？”
As if he was worried that Renly would get angry, he quickly explained, "It's not because I'm not satisfied with the content of the performance. On the contrary, I think the tense confrontation between you is very good and particularly exciting! Beyond imagination! I want to switch to the panorama. To present the overall feeling, just like the game of Go, you know, we can see the placement and game of all the chess pieces, showing the entire dragon, which also means that the relationship between your horns can appear on the screen. That tense and exciting atmosphere must be very exciting！”
As he talked, Colin also became excited..
“Not only is it a panoramic view, we can also move the camera 360 degrees, just like an Oriental movie - that kind of Hong Kong/Hong Kong martial arts movie, which presents the confrontation situation with a surround perspective, Renly's kind of martial arts posture There is even a special feeling. The relationship between Owen and the four raptors is fully mobilized. There is no need to use short camera cuts to create rhythm, but to use the panning of the camera to show the relationship between each other. This is really It's so exciting！”
Colin was almost jumping to his feet, frothing at the mouth as he recounted the burst of inspiration in his mind. Finally, Renly had to interrupt him, "Calm down, calm down!" As if he was training a velociraptor, "Ke Lin, first, we need to maintain the photography style and editing style of the entire movie; second, we can't spend too much ink on this scene, be careful not to drag it out, rhythm is still the most important priority.”
Colin is obviously the director, but it turns out Renly is needed to control the situation? What's going on?？
But considering that this is Colin's first feature film, it doesn't seem so strange..
“Oh oh oh." Colin nodded repeatedly, as if he was a little bit shocked. He muttered something like "I think this is good." Then he stood there and thought carefully about it. "Otherwise, we'll shoot it once with panoramic view and scheduling. Let's see. The effect, I think, is more atmospheric and exciting than close-up shots, editing and splicing. We can't waste your wonderful performance, can we?？”
Before Renly could speak, the four actors behind him nodded repeatedly. They looked like groundhogs. Each one couldn't wait to express their positivity - because this could increase their performance, which they naturally wanted..
But Colin still cast his eyes towards Renly: he needed Renly's nod. Although Renly told everyone that it was Colin who really made the decision on the show, and this was indeed the case; but Colin would still subconsciously He always asked Renly for his opinion, and always followed Renly's lead in everything..
Renly still did not refute Colin's enthusiasm, and nodded in agreement, and then added, "Colin, are you going to compose the picture with a panoramic shot or a medium shot? If the depth of field is different, our position will also need to be adjusted to make full use of the surroundings. environment to create a sense of picture, otherwise it will be self-defeating..”
Renly is not a director, and he is not a professional in this regard; but because of Edith, Renly still has a basic aesthetic appreciation of photography composition. Coupled with many years of acting experience, he also knows that directing work is definitely not recorded through the lens. The performance is so simple, but there are still many details that need to be refined, which in turn places more demands on the actor's performance, so he still needs to complete the communication with Colin..
This is the part that Colin is good at. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let's use a crane camera to capture the scene first and see how the scene looks, and then arrange the positions and movements. This scene needs to be readjusted. Some moves." After saying that, Colin couldn't wait to turn around and get busy..
Although all the filming content just now was overturned, Colin was not depressed at all, but was eager to try it out..
In the crew, you devote yourself to your work and you can find your own fun in any position. This is the most wonderful part..
