Is this scene of the confrontation between the taming animals exciting? Wonderful.
Is this scene of beast-taming confrontation perfect? No.
From an objective standpoint, the atmosphere creation and presentation of the whole scene has indeed produced a thrilling effect; but it cannot be denied that there is still room for improvement in the motion capture performance of the four stunt performers—
Viewed from the overall perspective, Renly easily controls the overall situation, and fully interprets the confrontation between them, the aura pulling, etc. This kind of beastly intuitive basic performance is for the current Renly, There is no difficulty, the whole process is to enjoy it, and even minor adjustments can be made during the performance. The extension and change of the last look is additional content.
But it is obvious that there is still room for improvement in the offensive and defensive of the opponent's play. All four actors could feel the influence of Renly's aura, but unfortunately, their on-the-spot reactions were still lacking, and they were not able to seize the opportunity to penetrate the characters and give a more ferocious and direct presentation of the instinctive reactions of animals. As a result, their hesitation and hesitation destroyed the original animal nature of the velociraptor.
Opponent play is often the most intuitive comparison effect, whether it is good or bad, which is better or worse, and it is clear at a glance.
The shortcomings of the four actors' performance skills and talents are still exposed; but fortunately, this scene is a picture of motion capture technology, which is more than human details such as facial expressions and eye emotions. What needs to be captured is the action and demeanor, showing the emotional ups and downs of the character with body movements. This is also the part that the stuntman is best at, and they can still keep up with the rhythm of the performance.
At this point, Renly was completing the communication of the performance.
“Respond to Owen’s mastery in a more raw and direct way, as stripped of human thinking as possible.” Renly expresses emotion simply with body movements.
"Because it's an instinct. There's a connection between them and Irving, and Irving can read their emotional shifts, and they can read Irving's body language as well, and it's a situation where it's because Irving With a change in body language, they were able to move their attention from Owen's head to their eyes and communicate; but they still couldn't shake off the hunter/energy urge to use Owen as food."
With Renly's explanation, the entire core of the performance and the context of change became clear.
Brad was the first to react, "Is this because Owen's position has changed?"
Then, Brad felt suspicious glances from his three companions, and he explained, "Look, Owen was originally high above, his image and line of sight were projected from top to bottom, we observed When Irving was, I naturally placed Owen in a high position; now Owen has come to the same ground as us, and we began to look down on Owen, although Owen's body language has awakened some of our conditioned reflexes, but our body The absolute advantage still allows the animal nature to prevail, and the hunting instinct/instinctiveness takes over the situation.”
After explaining, Brad turned to look at Renly again, and asked hesitantly, "Is my understanding correct?"
"Exactly!" Renly snapped his fingers.
For the director's lens and the character's psychology, this change of spatial position can often form a hint, which can change the viewing experience without the need for lines or plots, and it is also an extra for the actor's performance. Replenish.
Among the four actors in front of him, Brad obviously has the most understanding and research on performance—not to mention whether it is excellent, but at least the theoretical basis is sufficient, which enables him to immediately understand the content of Renly's words.
After Brad finished speaking, the other three actors began to ponder carefully. Now, when I think back to the performance just now, many details become logical, especially Renly's control of the whole scene. The steady control force is fully reflected in the full utilization of the space, and the invisible traction is formed in this way.
Everyone said Renly was an acting genius.
It is very easy to praise Renly, anyway, the articles and speeches that are chasing Renly have been flooded; but it is not easy to really understand the excellence of Renly, because now Renly has entered a higher level, those performance aura , performance skills, etc. can only be understood but not in words.
Today, a relatively simple and straightforward performance scene made the four actors feel the control of Renly.
Samuel couldn't help but smile when he looked at Renly again at this time. He recalled his worries before filming began - he was still worried that their added role might steal Renly's aura, but now it seems that that There is no need to worry at all, no wonder Renly always looks like an understatement and a clear mind.
Renly seemed to sense Samuel's gaze and turned his head.
Samuel nodded with a smile and took the initiative to ask, "Renly, can Blue read Owen's body language? To what extent should he understand? I think Blue thinks Owen doesn't. Threatening because there are huge differences in size; but Blue also knows Irving can communicate with himself, so is he still willing to use Irving as food?"
"I think it's a gradual process, remember? Our movie is still very long, and this is just the first communication between Owen and Blue." Renly's teasing made Samuel laugh outright.
"I think that Bruce is like a twelve-year-old thirteen-year-old child - or a sixteen-year-old seventeen-year-old teenager, the specific settings can be more detailed and clear, in fact, he can read a lot of things, but he is not Totally clear, and then a bit rebellious, sometimes just trying to conform to my first thoughts, but sometimes I can control myself.”
Samuel nodded slightly at Renly's explanation, which took him a moment to digest.
"Renly, hey, Renly!" After waiting and waiting, only to find that Renly and the actors were already chatting, Colin finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to come over.
Biquge
Colin also stood on the outermost floor of the cage, looking at the actors "locked" inside, and said loudly, "I want to discuss with you, can we overturn the reshoot of this scene? "
Seemingly worried that Renly would get angry, he quickly explained, "It's not because I'm dissatisfied with the content of the performance, on the contrary, I think the tension between the two of you is very good, especially exciting! It's beyond imagination! I want to switch the panorama. to present the overall feeling, just like the game of Go, you know, we can see the moves and matches of all the pieces, and present the entire dragon, which also means that your horn relationship can appear on the screen, The tension and excitement must have been wonderful!”
As he spoke, Colin also became excited.
"Not just the panorama, we can move the camera 360 degrees, as if it's an oriental movie—it's the kind of Hong Kong/Hong Kong martial arts movie that presents the confrontation in a surround view, the martial arts pose of Renly There is a special feeling. To mobilize all the relationships between Owen and the four raptors, there is no need to switch short shots to create rhythm, but to show the relationship between them by panning and swaying the shots. This is really true. It's so exciting!"
Colin was almost on the verge of jumping, foaming as he spoke about the burst of inspiration in his head, and finally Renly had to interrupt him, "Calm down, calm down!" It was like he was training a raptor, "Ke Lin, firstly, we need to maintain the cinematography and editing style of the whole film; secondly, we can't spend too much time on this scene, be careful not to procrastinate, and pacing is the most important priority."
Colin is the director, but Renly is required to control the situation? What's going on here
But it doesn't seem so outlandish to think that Colin was the first to shoot a feature film.
"Oh, oh." Colin nodded again and again, seeming to be a little bit shocked, muttering something like "I think this is good", and then stood in place and thought about it seriously, "Otherwise, we still use the panorama and scheduling to shoot once, see Looking at the effect, I think this kind of presentation is more atmospheric and exciting than the splicing of the photo editing, we can't waste your wonderful performance, can we?"
Without waiting for Renly to speak, the four actors behind them nodded, looking like groundhogs, and each of them couldn't wait to express their positivity—because it would increase their acting role, which they naturally wanted.
But Colin cast his eyes on Renly anyway: he needed a nod from Renly. Although Renly told everyone that it was Colin who made the decision, and that was the case, Colin would still subconsciously ask Renly for his opinion, and Renly would take the lead in everything.
Renly still didn't refute Colin's positivity, nodded in agreement, and then added, "Colin, are you going to use a panorama or a medium shot? If the depth of field is different, our position needs to be adjusted to make full use of the surroundings. create a sense of picture, otherwise it will be self-defeating.”
Renly is not a director, and he is not a professional in this regard; but because of Edith, Renly still has a basic aesthetic for photography composition, plus years of acting experience, he also knows that directing work is definitely not recorded with lenses The performance is so simple, and there are still many details to be sculpted, which in turn puts more demands on the actor's performance, so he still needs to complete the communication with Colin.
This is what Colin is good at, he nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, let's use the jib camera to capture the picture first to see how the picture feels, and then arrange the position and movement, this scene needs to be readjusted Some moves." After speaking, Colin couldn't wait to turn around and get busy.
Although all the shooting content just now was overturned, Colin was not frustrated at all, but was eager to try.
In the crew, devote yourself to your work, and you can find your own fun in any position. This is the most beautiful part.
