Chapter 843 Special effects shots must be perfect
The special effects director said while displaying the material on the screen.
Lin Gao nodded, staring at every detail on the screen.
"This fight should emphasize the sense of power, and the special effects should not be too weak."
"Look at this light and shadow. It's more realistic. The audience should be able to feel the power of the punch to the flesh."
"Understood, we will adjust the levels and colors of light and shadow."
The special effects director quickly recorded Lin Gao's opinion.
Lin Gao continued to look at the next shot.
This shot is a key scene in which the actors perform in front of a green screen, but the final image requires the addition of large-scale background special effects.
Lin Gao carefully thought about how to combine China's natural scenery with Western fantasy elements.
He hopes that this scene will not only have a visual impact, but also make the audience feel the power of nature.
"I want this landscape scene to have a more oriental charm."
"Adjust the shape of the mountain again, like the cascading mountains in Chinese paintings, and the fog should be thicker."
The special effects artists adjusted the picture while listening, and the effects on the screen began to gradually approach Lin Gao's expectations.
"Preview again." Lin Gao's voice was filled with urgency.
On the screen, the picture adjusted by the special effects artists gradually took shape.
The mist-shrouded mountain background forms a strong contrast with the fierce fighting scenes.
Lin Gao's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
"Not bad, let's further optimize this effect. The integration of background and action is not enough."
Lin Gao knows that behind every frame is the hard work of countless people, especially in such delicate work as special effects, any flaw may ruin the audience's viewing experience.
"These special effects shots need to be perfect," he said firmly.
Everyone in the studio gave their all, they understood Lin Gao's high standards and were willing to work overtime on this project.
But even so, the progress was still slow in the face of vast materials and countless special effects shots.
Sometimes, Lin Gao would feel anxious while looking at the repeatedly adjusted images on the screen.
He knew that time was tight, the release date of the film had already been determined, and every aspect of the post-production process was costly.
"Director Lin, do you think the pace of this conversation should be slowed down a little bit?"
The editor next to him suddenly asked, interrupting Lin Gao's thoughts.
Lin Gao came back to his senses and looked at the character's dialogue scene on the screen.
"This conversation is the culmination of an emotional outburst."
"It's okay to have a slower pace, but the emotional changes of the characters must be accurately conveyed."
"Re-edit a version to retain the details of the actor's eyes."
The editor nodded and re-edited the scene. Lin Gao paid close attention to every detail, ensuring that every line and every look met his expectations.
As the work progresses step by step, the overall framework of the film gradually emerges.
Lin Gao was sitting in the office, holding coffee in his hand, with a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.
"Director Lin, the special effects part is roughly completed. Now we can start the sound effects and soundtrack parts."
The assistant came in with a notebook and reported the latest work progress.
Lin Gao nodded, with a hint of satisfaction in his exhaustion.
"Notify the sound effects team that we will start compositing the soundtrack and sound effects tomorrow."
Lin Gao knew that sound effects and soundtrack were the soul of the film.
It not only has to fit perfectly with the picture, but also adds more emotional layers to the movie.
The next day, the composer and sound effects team arrived at the studio early in the morning.
Lin Gao stood in the center of the sound control room, discussing with the composer how to achieve a perfect fusion of music and movie emotions.
"The music for this battle must be exciting and exciting, but it cannot be overly overwhelming."
"The audience should feel the tension, but not be carried away by the music." The soundtrack engineer nodded, adjusted the sound track on the computer, and played several different combinations of instruments.
“Can the bass of this cello be more oppressive?”
Lin Gao listened carefully and shook his head.
"The feeling of oppression is right, but it must be more emotional."
"Try switching to a combination of guzheng and drums to give the picture an oriental flavor."
The composer frowned, thought for a moment, and then started trying new combinations.
The melodious sound of the guzheng mixed with the low drumbeats echoed in the sound control room.
Lin Gao listened, with a flash of light in his eyes.
"That's what it feels like."
"In tense fights, you should also have a restrained sense of strength."
With the gradual adjustment of the music, Lin Gao finally saw that the emotional context of the entire movie gradually became clear.
Each note adds a deeper emotional expression to the picture.
But the soundtrack is only one part, and the next step is the processing of the sound effects.
"The sound effects of this explosion should be more shocking, and the audience should be able to feel the impact."
Lin Gao said to the sound effects engineer.
"But be careful not to make the sound too noisy. Clarity is also important."
The sound effects engineer quickly adjusted the layering of the sound effects and played the synthesized audio track once.
Lin Gao listened carefully and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, this works well."
The post-production work of the film is still in progress.
Every day, Lin Gao is busy in the studio, ensuring that every aspect is in optimal condition.
But even so, time still flies by.
With less than two months until the film's release date, Lin Gao knew they didn't have much time to waste.
Finally, after countless days and nights of hard work, the last frame and sound track of the movie were finally completed.
Lin Gao stood in the center of the studio, looking at the tired but expectant faces of the team members, feeling filled with emotion.
This film, from its initial conception to its current completion, has gathered the efforts of countless people.
"Guys, you're doing a great job."
"This film will be a source of pride for all of us."
Lin Gao's voice was low but full of power.
There was a burst of warm applause on the set, and everyone was proud to have participated in such a work.
A few days later, Lin Gao took the edited film to the film distribution company for a pre-premiere test screening.
In the dim screening room, Lin Gao and several core members sat in the front row, holding their breath.
The picture on the screen is smooth and powerful, and the soundtrack and sound effects are perfectly integrated with the picture.
As the plot progresses, Lin Gao's mood also fluctuates.
When the last scene ended, there was silence in the auditorium.
The end credits slowly rose, but Lin Gao did not get up immediately.
He sat there quietly, feeling the complex emotions the movie brought him.
This is not just a movie, it embodies the dreams and efforts of so many people.
Wei Lianlian sat next to Lin Gao and patted him gently on the shoulder.
"Boss, we did it."
