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 rocker fixed to her body and made an”ok” gesture to Martin.

“I’m OK”

“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 the spacesuit, space station, and Earth, were all made with CG.

“How are you preparing the tightrope?”

Martin asked about the props again.

“Ready.”

Because there will be a shot of Jessica’s character floating over the spaceship later. For this shot, Martin is not going to use any large props to simulate the space capsule, which is too troublesome. Instead, he is going to use 12 steel cables – to pull Jie Sika was hung like a marionette, allowing her to perform gravity-defying movements 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, the details of her eyes and the reflection on the helmet must be precise. To reflect something that does not belong in the movie and lead to confusion

…………

After Jessica finished several of her scenes, she got down from the metal frame to rest. Due to the long period of simulating weightlessness, her sense of balance had not yet been restored and she could only sit on a chair.

Leonardo came over and asked,”How do you feel?”

Jessica smiled and said,”It’s not bad.”

Leonardo also smiled and nodded and said,”Your ability to adapt is much better than mine. It’s better to be young.”.”

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

“In the lighting design process, I hope to 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 watching said:”Martin, this setting does not match the true appearance of outer space, nor does it look like what is inside 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. It is impossible for the three light sources to appear in the field of view at the same time.”

Martin nodded, Said:”Thank you, I know it is like this, but if it is really done like this, the things shown in the lens will be too boring, and the film of more than 100 minutes will not be so attractive, so I decided to change it The light here”

“Oh, if it is artistic processing, then no problem.”

The staff at the Houston Space Center laughed.

After all, he is just a consultant and can make suggestions. It is Martin who makes the decision.

Martin continued to say to the cameraman and lighting engineer:”I need you to try a few more times to find the most suitable light. Properties – whether the light is hard or soft, what the reflectivity is, what the color is, these data must be recorded.

He thought for a while and continued:”These seemingly small details can allow us to create many different environments.” One thing to note is that the spacecraft moves very quickly and will experience several days and nights in 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 was a breathtaking sunset scene – distant view: aqua blue The sun on the opposite side of the planet gradually disappears behind it; (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Close shot: Ryan Stone, played by Jessica, finally turns into the dark starry sky, where there is almost no light , only the inside of the helmet emits a faint light

“God, this is 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, I took this picture, I took this picture.”……”

“This shot will definitely be included in the history of film classics.”Leonardo said with great certainty.

Then he looked at his good brother with admiration.

Sometimes I really wanted to cut open his head and see how he could generate so many wonderful ideas?!

In front of the computer The technicians were explaining to Martin the process of completing this scene.

“Based on your storyboard script, Mr. Meyers, we first created the corresponding (earth) landscape, and then designed specific lighting and color cues based on the lighting engineer’s data… In this scene, Ryan Stone is in In space above the African desert, the sun comes into view, so the color of the earth will be warm, and the reflected light on her face will also be warm. We use high-definition satellite maps as a basis for lighting changes……”

“After that, we started to create simple previs animations for the entire film based on the camera and character positions planned by the production team.……”

“｀I remember that the camera movement in this section was very complicated. Did you have any trouble creating the animation? Martin asked.

The technician smiled confidently:”It was a little troublesome, but we solved it.

” We started in the simplest way, first with storyboards, then with a bunch of puppets and toy space stations and toy space shuttles,” explained the technician named Lubezki.

“We discussed this original plan with the animators.

It’s a great idea to lay out the model first and then have the animator animate it in black and white, then add volume, color and lighting.

This is indeed a layer of additional work, and the real trouble is the tedious……”

The cameraman on the side recalled the original shooting process and laughed:”I have never shot a shot with such complicated camera movements. When shooting character movement in a zero-gravity environment, these combinations are indeed necessary, because your The character keeps spinning”

“For example (of Li Zhao), we started with Leonardo’s face and then moved the camera to Jessica and she was spinning at different speeds. You circle her and shoot, then pull back to Leonardo. The only thing to note is that if you step right back into Leonardo, the next thing you photograph is his feet. So we had to go back to storyboarding, and sometimes you discover something amazing, and sometimes you have to change the whole scene.……”

The lighting engineer interjected:”This is really a very special shooting process. I feel that we all learned a lot.”

Martin smiled:”Yes, we are all learning while filming, because we are going to show the audience It’s an unprecedented film, and I think after this film, we can all call ourselves experts in the space science fiction genre.”[]

Everyone laughed.
