Chapter 95: Shooting has started

Lucas looked at the scenery in front of him, and he felt a little strange.

Catherine's requirement for the scenery is that it must be real, and there must be no mistakes or anything out of place. Catherine is very strict about this.

So, at least from the outside, these sets are very delicate.

"It's really uncomfortable..."

Catherine came out of the changing room, and Elsa was beside her.

Since returning to the United States, Elsa has been her personal maid. Catherine has long been accustomed to Elsa taking care of her daily life. For Catherine, there is nothing more wonderful than this.

"Well……"

Lucas was shocked by Catherine's appearance.

Because he signed a contract with DreamWorks, Lucas got the opportunity to enter the set. In fact, Catherine also valued him.

After all, the opponent's "Planet Hegemony" is slightly more valuable than our own "Wasteland".

No matter how you look at it, in his eyes, Lucas is a "golden doll" who needs to be cultivated no matter what. Of course, Catherine also needs to prevent some things that may happen.

"It feels really weird. But I can only endure it."

She was wearing a blue tights, made of latex, that covered her entire face, and then put it into her mouth. There was nothing she could do, it was necessary for acting.

When she was in the wasteland, Catherine wanted to make a cameo, but she never got the chance.

But now, she has found an opportunity.

Catherine plays an artificial intelligence "Elizabeth" who appears at the beginning of the film, assigning tasks and analyzing problems to the protagonist's team.

Moreover, this character is very special - she is a 3D translucent projection.

So how to create a translucent effect?

The answer is simple, that is Catherine’s trump card——

Processed on film.

During the actual shooting, the actors acted against a real-life "Elizabeth" played by Catherine. However, there were no special effects at this time. At the same time, the background used in each frame had to be shot separately during the shooting.

Used in post-production.

After the film is shot, it will be sent to the special effects production department, and the film will be produced in the normal way. In this ordinary edited film, the actors are also facing real people, and there are no special effects at all.

Then, the highlight came. That was to use special effects to turn Elizabeth into a translucent effect.

At this time, you need to browse the pictures on each frame in turn, and project each picture containing Elizabeth, played by Catherine, onto a clear plastic film (i.e., animated celluloid film). Then, on the celluloid film

Draw the outline of Elizabeth. Then, the artist colors it - this is easy to do, just remove a few people from the production team of the "Harry Potter" animated version.

Then they had them add outlines, add translucency - remember the separate backgrounds? That's what they used. Finally, there were a bunch of celluloids, one for each frame of the film containing Elizabeth.

Everywhere on the celluloid is crystal clear, except where Elizabeth appears in each frame.

In the processed film, each animated cel is placed against a black background and shot using a diffuse light on the lens (which creates a circle of bright light around Elizabeth). If you play this on a projector

In the film, what the audience sees is nothing more than Elizabeth moving against a black background. The real shots in the film will be shot in the same film using double exposure. This effect is translucent in the air.

3d Elizabeth!

This approach is definitely Catherine's original work.

This approach can at least achieve the special effects of the 1990s. If the artist's skills are good, it can even be more realistic.

Its only drawback is that it's too expensive.

Catherine invested a total of 25 million US dollars in this film. Although the set is not as grand as "Wasteland", such special effects are definitely unmatched by "Wasteland".

Although Catherine only appears for about 10 minutes, the number of frames to be shot is as high as 15,000 to 20,000 frames. And in actual photography, the number of shots can only be a lot more.

The phone bill here alone is in the millions, or even nearly 10 million in budget.

What's more, there are many props inside, all of which require careful design.

Moreover, Catherine still used panoramic film shooting methods and 70mm film this time. These can be said to be "high-end goods" in this era. The equipment Catherine used to shoot the film can make many people jealous.

.

Catherine believes in the strength of Carla Santo, whose "Garrison Suicide Squad" has influenced an entire generation...both Americans and Chinese.

"Don't be nervous. When acting, just think of yourself as the person in the story..."

Bruce Lee on the side was also telling Stallone some experiences and techniques.

Speaking of Bruce Lee, Catherine has now signed a long-term contract with him.

And in order to avoid what happened in history, Catherine also equipped Bruce Lee with a specialized medical team, which was responsible for making reasonable arrangements for Bruce Lee's training to prevent him from overwork. In later generations' analysis of Bruce Lee's death,

A large part of it was because of this reason. Another reason was that Bruce Lee was allergic to antibiotics, but with his own medical team, everything was much easier to handle.

Of course, it is said that there is another reason, which gives Catherine a headache... Hong Kong gangs...

Uh... what Catherine hates the most is these gang-related things... Maybe she can let her protective umbrella go to Hong Kong in the future, and then kill all the gangsters?

Okay, Catherine knew her idea was a bit ridiculous.

However, Bruce Lee was his savior after all, and that was all Catherine could do for him for the time being.

In fact, Catherine still wanted to make a film for Bruce Lee, and let Bruce Lee be the protagonist instead of the second protagonist.

Unfortunately, this matter may be a bit uncertain now, and it will probably take two or three years to get better.

After all, Bruce Lee is a yellow race no matter what, and if a person of color wants to become famous in Hollywood, he must work twice as hard as ordinary people. Even Bruce Lee will appear in the possible future "Green Hornet".

He was just the second protagonist, and when he was in Hollywood, he was either a killer or a villain.

It also took him a lot of time to walk up step by step.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats!"

Calasanto came out.

Catherine's "Red Alert" is finally about to start filming.
