In fact, for this movie, the Navy also invested money and hired a special aircraft model expert Larry Wolf to produce a 110-scale f14 model and an 113.5-scale f5 MiG28.
At the same time, usfx special effects company added extremely fine details to these models, and filled with explosives to film the scene of the aircraft being destroyed by missiles.
The bombing was taken last, and these models can be used to simulate flight before shooting the bombing shots.
However, under normal circumstances, as long as you can fly a real machine, you will not use a model, after all, it is fake.
Now, the two are in a dispute, and at this time, Nathan, who has just completed the exchange of confrontational information with Emily, returns to the studio.
Nathan really didn’t know what Emily and Jenny had talked about that night. Now, the two seem to have become friends, and Nathan is also used to sending them back to the house outside every day, but Nathan doesn’t know. Did not stay there.
As a normal man, Nathan certainly has needs in that respect, but now Nathan is a little confused. I don't know which one to choose and whether it will hurt the other. So Nathan will pretend to be silent first, anyway. EQ is not high.
When Nathan came in, they heard the quarrel between the two, and then both looked at Nathan.
"Nathan, you wrote the script. Now the protagonist is you. How much fidelity will be reduced if we use a model?" Tony said, "You know, my requirements for this work are very strict. ."
Tony is indeed very responsible. He repeated it several times before and after just shooting the takeoff of an airplane. At the same time, in order to shoot more accurately, he specially modified an Alpha business jet with four cameras on it, and an a4 at the same time. Come to shoot, every time I shoot, the scene is very spectacular.
Models can never replace real effects.
"Nathan, you should know the danger of tailspins. Our 121 squadron, who can fly Tomcat tailspins, are in single digits." Robert said.
Now, the Tomcat fighters have not been equipped for a long time, and there are not many squadrons assigned to them. Most of them are flying other types. This is also the reason why Nathan was brought over in the first place.
There were not many people who could fly, but now they have to reluctantly fly, I am afraid the danger will be great!
"I'm here to fly." Nathan said, "It's just that, I have a request, not to install a camera on my plane."
Nathan knows this story. There are multiple versions. The most common saying is that when flying in this plot, when the aerobatic pilot Atskol entered the horizontal spiral, he failed to pull out in time and caused the plane to crash. Fatal accident.
Some people speculate that Skoll’s death was related to the camera installed on his plane. The camera disrupted the plane’s balance and prevented him from pulling out of the spiral. In this way, models can only be used in the shots that were retaken later.
Now, Nathan decided to fly by himself, because he had already flown a spin. Moreover, Nathan's level had reached the highest level of flying a Tomcat fighter, and he often flew on the edge of the envelope.
A pilot who can fly back a tomcat with a half-broken wing, what else would he dare not do
"Then how do we shoot the scene when the pilot is handling it?" Tony said.
"That's your business." Nathan said: "Otherwise, you will use models instead, you choose."
Facing Nathan’s threat, Tony chose to work around: “How about setting up a handheld camera in the rear compartment instead of a fixed camera?”
"No, I will not be in flight. I will load a person who has not received any training in the back seat. If he accidentally touches the switch, it may affect my flight. If he pulls the ejection handle, then I will swish. Flew," Nathan said.
Two-seater fighters have a division of labor before and after, but you can't pick up people casually.
Nathan didn't know, just shortly after he was talking, he made an exception and took a special passenger, and that passenger made his love life even more colorful.
Nathan firmly disagreed, so Tony once again chose to work around: "Then I ask your rear seat radar officer to be an additional photographer, how about?"
Nathan became the male number one, but his partner Steve did not. After all, the Navy still has to focus on training. In the film, the Wild Goose, who plays Mavali’s partner, is an unknown actor, but he works very hard. The acting skills are also good.
This also made Steve express his dissatisfaction. He said that he also wanted to be on the screen, but no one gave it a chance!
Steve had the opportunity to shoot the airplane shots now, but wearing a helmet and goggles, Steve is almost like an extra.
Now Tony came up with a new plan, lowering the requirements over and over again.
Ordinary people, it is impossible to become a good photographer in a short time. Let Steve come to hold the camera and shoot the in-camera lens in the tail spin. Maybe it will end up with a blur and wasted film.
Nathan also shook his head: "No, the tail spin is too dangerous. If possible, I want to fly by myself and put a mannequin in the rear cabin instead."
Flying is dangerous. In this case, Nathan must be careful.
"Nathan, give me a chance." At this moment, Steve didn't know where he ran out. This guy, like everyone else in the base, would run to watch the film as long as he didn’t have a mission. An extra is unambiguous, and now, I heard that I want to be a photographer, and I am overjoyed.
When it’s okay, Steve likes to fiddle with a camera. Now that he has the opportunity to be the photographer of this blockbuster film, he can’t wait: "I asked for my name to be added when the film was broadcast."
Steve is full of confidence, he knows Tony has no objection.
Nathan didn't object, if Nathan still objected, then he would shake out the fact that he was in love with the two girls at the same time, huh!
"Steve, you must be aware that the camera is heavy. If you can't hold it firmly during a large overload, it may kill you." Sitting in the cabin, before taking off, Nathan turned towards the person behind him. Steve asked again.
At the same time, Nathan was also praying in his heart, not to be like in the history of later generations. He has the aura of a traverser, and it should be fine. And Steve
Somehow, I always feel that there is something wrong with this passing time and space, some can be in line with history, and some can't be in line with history! (End of this chapter)
