Seven days later, Leonardo and Jessica returned to Los Angeles from Houston.

Leonardo lost some weight, his face looked a little haggard, and his eyes were dull.

Jessica looked rosy and energetic

“how do you feel? asked Martin

“A lot of fun!”Jessica

“Terrible!”Leonardo.

The main actors returned and the filming of”Gravity” began.

The first scene was Matt Kuwalski, played by Leonardo, going out to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.

Watch. Leonardo felt dizzy when he saw the huge weightless device in front of him.

“I regret it now. If I had known earlier, I would have given this role to Will (Will Smith).”

“It’s late.”Martin chuckled, but seeing Leonardo’s face looking bad, he comforted him,”Don’t you always want to take Blake out to sea? When your scene is over, I will lend you my yacht for free.”

“That’s a deal.”Leonardo finally laughed

…………

In a huge cube prop, Leonardo 09, wearing a white spacesuit, was���A long metal frame is fixed in the middle of the cube. The metal frame rotates and the cube rotates, making it look like Leonardo is floating in it.

The inner wall of the cube is covered with LED screens, which are composed of 1.8 million light bulbs and can show a very realistic and clear effect.

At this time, what was displayed on the LED screen was the scene in space.

And under Leonardo’s feet is the blue earth.

The metal frame is fixed on Leonardo’s left side, and there are two robotic arms on his right side. One controls an ARRI.Alexa lens, and the other controls the light source.

“Leon, I’m going to shoot a shot of you hitting the Hubble Telescope later. This is a main visual shot. You don’t need to move. The robotic arm will control the camera to hit you, but I need you to show the emotion of struggling to survive. , the micro camera in the space suit will give you a close-up of your face, pay attention to your expression.”

“OK, I’m ready.”

Although it was just a cameo, Leonardo did not hesitate in the acting class and made a lot of preparations in advance.

This scene only took him twice, and he completed it.

After getting off the metal frame, Leonardo was in the assistant He sat on the chair for a while with the help of his wife. After feeling his balance restored, he stood up and walked towards Martin, ready to observe.

Watching Jessica get into the space capsule simulated by the”LED light box”, Leonardo I couldn’t help but admire:”The idea of your light box is so great. The actors don’t have to perform physical performances in front of the air, which makes the performance a lot easier.””

“It’s great!”Martin is also very proud of this idea,”You don’t know how much effort and money we have spent on adjusting the LED light source to suit CG production. We have even made technical reforms on these LED screens and applied for 46 projects. patent. Man, if there is a director you know who wants to make a space science fiction film in the future, please remember to recommend it. I will earn some royalties.”

“Haha, you still lack this little money?”Leonardo knew that Martin was joking, so he laughed in cooperation, and then asked curiously,”How about the effect?”

“Awesome, these LED screens can produce realistic light effects like never before.

“Martin said excitedly,”During the shooting, videos or pictures that simulate the surrounding environment are played, and the lens controlled by the robotic arm rotates flexibly in this space.

The visual effects team is responsible for printing the pattern of the virtual scene on the LED screen to match the actor’s subjective perspective.

Viewing angle…

When you and Jessica are shooting in this space, the light efficiency of these LED bulbs directly produces a reflective effect on the body, solving the problem of diffuse reflection and lighting on all clothes.

“If you look at it this way, your device is more trouble-free than shooting with a green screen.”Leonardo mused.

“Of course, if you use a green screen, it would be too troublesome to arrange the lights, especially how to make the light bulbs hang in the air without affecting the camera’s angle of view. Just a shot of an astronaut rotating in space would probably cost seven or eight dollars. It takes a lot of effort to complete.”

Martin communicated with Leonardo in a low voice, and did not prevent him from observing Jessica’s performance.

“Cut, Jessica, breathe, pay attention to your breathing, the breathing rate of astronauts in space is different from that on earth. Do you still remember the space breathing rhythm you learned in Houston?” (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“sorry my bad”

“It’s okay, let’s do it again.”

In order for Martin to watch at any time, the special effects production studio of”Gravity” is next to the studio.

Before the start of each day’s shooting, Martin will go to see the progress of the special effects production of the previous day.

“How about it? LED screens should be harder to pick out than green screens, right?”

“Ok, this is not a problem for us.”

The technicians from Weta Digital said confidently

“The image rendering software we developed in cooperation with Industrial Light and Magic is pretty good, and it at least reduces our workload a lot.”

Martin nodded. Half a year before the filming of”Gravity” started, two top special effects production companies began to write software programs for the film’s screen rendering. It is said that it was enough for the 10,000 Qinren barcode. Otherwise, according to Industrial Light and Magic The engineer said:”If it were produced with a single-core CPU, I am afraid that this movie will not be released until the destruction of human civilization.”

The special effects work went far ahead of the filming of 540. After completing the modeling of the space capsule, Hubble Telescope, Tiangong-1, and Shenzhou spacecraft, at Martin’s request, Weta Digital and Industrial Light & Magic started work respectively. The production of several explosion and impact scenes purely relied on CG.

By the way, because many contents of China’s Tiangong-1 and Shenzhou spacecraft have not yet been released, most of them are based on imagination, but other space stations and satellites in the movie, etc. All have been accurately modeled and are very realistic.

The technicians played the results of the past few days to Martin.

In the quiet and silent black space, the white Hubble Telescope is so eye-catching and so small.

As the lens follows the camera Zooming in, Leonardo appears in the picture wearing a spacesuit. He is repairing the Hubble Telescope in space. His body’s weightless state is vivid.

“Wow, this is so realistic, there is no trace of the LED screen at all.”Leonardo, who didn’t know when he appeared, exclaimed.

“The effect is good, no, I should say very good. Martin said with a smile.

Just this scene made him feel the vastness of space, the insignificance of human beings, and the fear of being in infinite darkness and silence!!!
