The shooting of "grand theft one" began slowly in turbulence and chaos. The first day of shooting experienced ups and downs, and rumors and gossip filled a basket easily; But with the advance of shooting work, things gradually entered the orbit, and the work began to go smoothly.

Even more than expected.

The performances of lanli and felicity are getting better and better. Different sparks can often burst out between the opponent's plays, and the occasional on-the-spot play can also become the highlight; Most importantly, because it's a commercial film, the atmosphere of the two actors is also very relaxed. Try to avoid breaking the overall balance by exerting too much force. This also makes the shooting set often reverberate with laughter, and the pleasant working environment makes people feel happy.

Ben Mendelson's and Wen Jiang's humor runs through the rest of the shooting. The interaction between Alan tudek and Max Mickelson, the king of cold jokes, can always trigger laughter inadvertently. Of course, there are many experts hidden among the staff, even if there are friction and stumbling in the process of work, Unpleasant things are inevitable, but you can always relax after shooting.

However, it is Garris's working mode that really plays a decisive role.

After the running in period in the early start-up period, Garris determined the relevant details, fully established the shooting framework and execution mode of the whole film, all of which were hidden in his mind. During the shooting process, he could make adjustments at any time according to the specific situation, and the instructions and intentions became clearer. From the lighting team, the photography team and other behind the scenes production teams, Garris was able to, To the performance team and other actors, the idea has become clear and direct.

Naturally, the whole crew, up and down, began to run at high speed like a precision instrument.

What Jason mcgatlin was worried about didn't come out - the first scene was shot 29 times over and over again, which was just a special case. The shooting work made all the members of the crew concentrate on working together towards a common goal.

Difficulties and setbacks still exist, they will not disappear completely, but this is the film shooting work, encounter problems, solve problems, continue to move forward, and then encounter problems again. So is life.

Like this moment.

"Craig, where's my reference? Craig, it's stuck again! Craig

The whole crew is calling Craig Hammack, the field executive director of visual effects. Felicity is hanging viah in mid air, but the shooting can't start. All the staff are looking for Craig. The voice of the walkie talkie can't be transmitted, so they can only run directly, Hope to be able to communicate face to face, so that the shooting can start smoothly.

"Grand theft one" is based on the idea of John Noel, who is also one of the producers. He is a senior employee of industrial light and magic, the world's top visual effects company. His origin with Star Wars series can be traced back to the mid-1990s. From the original system, the concept of the story for the Empire's ultimate weapon "Death Star" was derived, but up to now, His idea was realized and put into production.

As one of the world's most authoritative visual effects experts, John Noel also arrived at Songlin studio. However, like Langley, he focused more on his own work, and Jason mcgatlin was responsible for the overall planning and distribution of the crew.

The reason why John Noel arrived at the scene in person was to adopt real-time special effects technology on the set. Lanli had experienced it before when shooting "Star Trek", but it was not as complete and comprehensive as "grand theft one". The whole special effects team built the whole virtual special effects scene during the actor's performance.

On the one hand, the virtual special effects scene is projected on the screen through the projector to create a real synchronous environment for the actors and integrate into the performance state more perfectly; On the other hand, the virtual effects scene will also be presented on the monitor screen synchronously to provide a reference for the director, so that the director can evaluate the effect while shooting.

Of course, these virtual effects are relatively rough and incomplete. In the post production process, they need to be further improved, or even re produced; But in the process of shooting, it can still provide an intuitive and effective reference, which greatly changes the nothingness and emptiness of blue and green screen shooting.

In order to achieve this effect, John Noel's entire special effects team built a giant led surround screen with a diameter of 50 feet and a width of 20 feet in the center of the screen to play dynamic images, so as to create the most realistic and appropriate virtual shooting environment.

"Star Trek" was shot more than a year ago. In just one year, the shooting technology has obviously been updated, and John Noel is one of the leading figures. However, being advanced often means that more debugging is needed, and it is still not mature enough. It is inevitable that there will be problems in the shooting process.

It's like now. Felicity was ready, but there was no picture on the screen, and she didn't know which link was wrong, so everyone was looking for Craig.

Felicity, who was hanging in the air, was relaxed and had time to joke. "Craig, you're not going to retaliate because you lost Texas Hold'em last night, are you? That's Tony's fault. It's not my fault! "

The set was full of joy.

Another example is the previous scene.

Lanli and felicity, who are in the middle of the drama, have a dispute over the details of the performance, the lighting route and the lens track. As a result, the photography team, the lighting team and the sound team are all involved. The public are very red faced with the dispute. The situation of holding back and fighting makes the bystanders break out in a cold sweat.

In the end, lanli decided to leave everything to Garris, and finally followed the direction of the director. In the face of the huge pressure to coordinate the differences between different departments, Garris did not panic and confusion, calmly analyzed the situation, and even put forward his own different opinions, completed the adjustment, and finally made a decision.

Although Garris is a young man who doesn't understand the world, in the process of his work, his integration ability is impressive. On the contrary, his impartial and upright attitude enables him to break away from his position and give more objective and rational opinions; More importantly, he clearly knows what he is doing and how to achieve his goal, which is the key role of the position of director.

Of course, the premise is that his partners will not be so angry.

But I don't know if this can be regarded as Gareth's unexpected talent. Even in the large-scale drama group, he also found a place in his own way, from "Godzilla" to "grand theft one", which seems to be the case - at least, when Warner Brothers ended the shooting of "Godzilla", there was no negative rumor.

In the end, the situation of the tension and the miasma was solved satisfactorily. After the shooting, the actors and the staff talked and laughed again.

In this way, the shooting of "grand theft one" is on the right track. The operation of the crew is smoother and smoother than expected, and the advance speed is faster.

The same is true of the scene being filmed. Craig appears in time and quickly solves the display problem. The crew starts shooting again. Felicity successfully completes her shooting task and ends the suffering of the scene. Before going to the next play, the crew needs to readjust, the lights and cameras need to be rearranged, so that the actors can get a short break to adjust.

Felicity adjusted her slightly sore shoulder muscles and walked towards the rest room, only to find that lanli was also sitting in the common room, which made her joke, "this gentleman, please don't take public resources maliciously, OK? We need more rest space. "

Sitting diagonally opposite, Max chuckled. "The next scene is his. He's coming to see us."

The good joke was broken by max. felicity stamped her foot and cried out, "Max!"

Then Tony Zhen said, "lanli came here specially to prepare coffee for us. This afternoon's tea is provided by lanli. "

"Roar, roar, welcome, welcome." Several actors nearby were all following.

Felicity some helplessly toward the blue Li cast the line of sight, spread out his hands, "I just said a word." And then everyone's covering for Langley.

Lan Li spread out his hands and said calmly, "do you know how hard it is to be loved?" The proud expression made felicity turn a big white eye and shake her head again and again to express her helplessness. "Dear lanli, you have changed."

"I guess so." Lanli's response made the actors around burst into laughter. Even felicity couldn't resist it and burst into laughter.

But because of laughing too happily, Felicity's arms, waist and so on were pulled, and her sore muscles made her facial features all fold towards the middle. Although today's Weiya is not long, her body still protested for many days, and she needs rest.

Felicity found a chair nearby, sat down, make complaints about it, and then tucking it to the table, "wait, coffee?" I thought we could have coffee? " Obviously, the joke against lanli is not over yet. Felicity squints her eyes and looks at lanli meaningfully, expressing her condemnation.

During the conversation, Nathan pres led two staff members to push a small cart with coffee on it. The strong aroma of coffee diffused in the lounge, easily attracted everyone's attention, and also answered felicity's questions.

Lenley gave felicity a big smile, as if to say, "the coffee you want."

This made felicity turn a white eye in response, but it made Lan Li laugh happily.

In response, Felicity said, "coffee is more important."
