Looking at the energetic lanli and the expectant Rooney, Emmanuel exchanged a vision with Alfonso and Timothy. After all, he was convinced. After nodding his head, he put himself into the discussion of work again.
"So, what do you want to know?" Emmanuel asked voluntarily.
Lanli and Rooney looked at each other reflexively, exchanged their eyes briefly, and both of them couldn't help smiling.
Rooney said, "please continue the discussion just now. As observers, we can speak whenever we need the cooperation of actors; Or, if there is any doubt, we will directly join in. "
Emmanuel nodded contentedly, which was obviously the best. But when he was about to speak, he got stuck for a moment, and suddenly didn't know where he had just discussed. As a result, Langley gave a friendly prompt, "adding the track, the flight position is extremely complicated."
This immediately awakened Emmanuel's memory, nodded repeatedly, "yes, I have discussed with Alfonso and Timothy, hoping to show the sense of space and grandeur of the whole universe more magnificently. Therefore, we need to go from panorama to close-up, close-up, and then from close-up to walk through the machine, and return to panorama, even the God's perspective of the protagonist..."
After a long talk, Emmanuel began to express his professional opinions, and even stood up on the small white board beside him, showing the movement of the plane and the scheduling of the scene with a black carbon pen.
This is Emmanuel's first meeting with Langley. They didn't even introduce themselves, so they immediately cut into the working mode, just like Langley's first meeting with Timothy Weber, and Langley's first meeting with Alfonso Caron.
Only by witnessing the camera scheduling and scene structure drawn by Emmanuel, can we understand how the magnificence and grandeur of gravity came into being, and the talent and talent of Emmanuel as a top photographer. The magnificent scene presented by the film is a bigger blueprint behind the scenes——
In Emmanuel's works, he drew the whole space cloud picture, the position of the earth, the sun and other planets, the position of the space station, and the position of the destroyed satellite. Then he outlined the whole camera's position and composition. This is only the first step.
Later, Emmanuel decomposed the changes of wide angle, depth of field, composition and position in different positions and different roles, including all the details of the 18 minute long shot. One shot can include all the working groups on the scene.
The complexity of the whole scheme is comparable to that of an academic paper on physics or astronomy, which covers more than 45 minutes just to talk about the problem of "moving around".
That's not all.
Then, Alfonso went on the stage again to supplement, describing in detail the relative position of the sun and the moon under the lens of the Hubble telescope. During the movement of the lens, the position and angle of the two reference objects will change slightly; Of course, and most importantly, the model of the earth, the model of the earth overlooking the moment in space.
The fullness and fullness of the details really opened lanli's eyes.
It is not only Alfonso and Emmanuel who constantly interrupt and communicate with each other, but also all the other staff members who participated in the meeting put forward the problems they may face in the actual operation process from their own professional perspective. The heated discussion can hardly stop.
Later, lanli learned that in order to make this film, Alfonso watched a documentary about the Hubble telescope to learn about the orbit of the telescope in space, and through Warner Bros. as a medium, he found a current astronaut in NASA as a consultant to restore the space scene from a real perspective.
Now, they are trying to turn the idea in their mind into reality. There is still a lot of work to be done before the five-year preparations enter the actual combat.
In such a heated discussion, the only thing that can't get in the way is Lan Li; To be more accurate, it should be that the actors, lanli and Rooney can't find a cut-off point. For the actors, those technical problems are basically written by heaven. It's very rare that the speed of thinking can keep up with the rhythm of everyone's discussion.
But for the two actors, it's a great benefit. They really understand the movement of the seats and the scheduling of the scenes. Even if they don't understand the theoretical and technical knowledge, they can see their position in the whole process and become a part of it.
Lanli and Rooney were all absorbed in it. They didn't participate in the discussion, but they listened attentively. From time to time, they exchanged ideas and analyzed their position in Emmanuel's blueprint, as well as the problems that need to be paid attention to during the performance——
Langley has been in the Lightbox, but Rooney hasn't. Therefore, the perspective of lanli undoubtedly has more reference value.
"Lan Li? What do you have in mind? Or is it a question? " Among the noise, Emmanuel's voice came. He seemed to notice the whispering lanli and Rooney. It was as if in class, the teacher caught the students talking in private, and then... The teacher called the roll.
There was some joy in the scene.
In a flash, all eyes were focused on lanli and Rooney. It was not so pleasant to become the focus of attention in this way.
Lanli and LUNI both laughed and glanced at each other secretly. At last, lanli took the initiative to say, "I have a lot of questions, countless questions." Just as Emmanuel was about to respond, Langley said, "the biggest problem is here. I don't know how to ask questions. I don't feel like I belong here."
While joking, he frowned slightly, and his face showed a puzzled expression. The atmosphere in the studio suddenly became relaxed, which made everyone laugh.
Emmanuel is the only exception.
Emmanuel was still looking at Langley with a serious face. His stern look had not changed, and even became deeper.
Seeing this, Lan Li folded his smile and said seriously, "I really have some questions. The whole 18 minutes is not really a one shot long shot. There are still some technical problems that can't be solved, so you are going to split it into two long shots and find an accurate entry point to splice the two shots together, right? "
Emmanuel did not say, Alfonso is slightly nodded in affirmation.
"Have you ever considered that the lens that shows the whole picture of the earth will be completely computer-made lens, all of which will be made on the computer. Maybe, this can become a natural connection point." Blue Li put forward his own idea, "of course, this is just my personal opinion."
As Lan Li said, the lens made purely by computer can be seamlessly connected in, out and in operation, which can really solve the problem of seamless connection in the production process of long lens.
Before, Alfonso and his colleagues concentrated on the fluency of the whole lens production, and virtually ignored the diversity of shooting techniques. Even Timothy was in the pit for a moment, and did not think outside the frame. As long as they are given enough time, they can get along with each other and find a solution. But now lanli talks about different possibilities from the perspective of an outsider.
Emmanuel put his hands on his chest and made a defensive gesture. It seemed that he still refused to forgive Lan Li so easily, but his eyes were still not sharp, but fell into his own thoughts.
"In addition, you will use iris mechanical arm to operate the panning of all lenses. Every angle of view, every position and every movement are carefully designed and arranged; Then the light in the auxiliary light box changes, and the whole shooting process can move in any direction and angle, shoot any picture, and solve all the technical problems by changing the role and background lighting, right
This time, lanli's words made Emmanuel nod slightly involuntarily. This is the core and summary of all their discussions just now. Obviously, lanli didn't lose his mind, not only didn't, but also absorbed himself in it.
Immediately, Emmanuel realized his nodding, raised his chin in embarrassment, restrained his expression, and put on a serious expression again. However, the slight change of the little action revealed his arrogance.
Instead of poking it out, Langley continued, "well, my question is, what's the job of an actor?"
It's really stupid to ask such a question. Not only Emmanuel, but everyone else chuckled. Subconsciously, they were ready to make fun of lanli. But the words stuck in their throat, but they were stunned——
They don't know how to answer.
After thinking about it, I suddenly found: indeed, what should an actor do? In the discussion of the whole technical link, the actor is a completely forgotten part.
"Rooney and I talked about it just now, and we came to a similar conclusion." "In the whole shooting process, we must clearly understand the time of all the actions and the direction of the camera movement, and so on. We must clearly know what we are doing, what the crew is doing, where we should look at at when, when we should present what actions, when we should complete what kind of performance, in other words..."
After a short pause, Lan Li glanced around. "In other words, we are just a part of the jigsaw puzzle, just like chess pieces, which are placed on the corresponding position to complete the whole picture. That's all. As for the part of technical discussion, we just need to sit in and not participate in the discussion. "
It seems that the words are right, it seems that this is the truth, but after such expression, how strange it is to listen to, and then with the situation just now... In an instant, all eyes looked at Emmanuel in unison.
