After finishing his trip to China, Gilbert Jr. rushed to Chicago with the crew to film the scenes of street gunfights and the scenes of the train rushing to the streets.
The scene in this scene is quite big. The crew did not choose to film in Los Angeles, but came to Chicago.
According to the advice of photography director John Schwartzmann, this scene will be easier and easier to shoot at night. But Gilbert Jr. vetoed it, and he decided to shoot it during the day.
Usually, when shooting rain scenes, you will choose to shoot at night because it is better to watch from the back and you will see raindrops.
But it would be different if you choose to shoot during the day and there is still sun.
It's like watching a football game. It suddenly rains during the day, and then you will find that you can't see anything clearly. This is the light problem caused by the rain.
Another difficulty is the problem of creating rain. Simply creating rain is not a problem, but the problem is that the scale of this scene is very large.
The crew transferred a large number of tower crane equipment to hang the sprinkler in mid-air, and the scale was unprecedentedly large, which could make it rain two to three blocks at a time, creating realistic and deep heavy rain.
During a test shot, the sunlight disturbed too much, so it puts high requirements for the shooting.
John Schwartzman complained: "This scene is really weird, with the scorching sun on one side and the heavy rain on the other side."
Gilbert Jr. said, "This is a dream, John, nothing in the dream cannot happen."
Indeed, dreams need to have this absurd feeling, including the design of the train rushing to the streets, which is also based on the absurdity of dreams, because this is impossible in reality.
Of course, things like sun rain will still happen in reality, and there are quite a few.
The scene of the train rushing to the streets can be said to be very absurd as Freud's dream. Although I know it was a real shot, Little Little Little Little Little Little Lion Peggy was still amazed enough when filming this scene.
After filming this scene, Alan Paige felt her legs were weak.
She came down and said to Jibert, "It's so exaggerated. I never could believe that I would experience this scene."
Little Lizi looked as if she was taken for granted: "Believe me, you will experience a lot of such scenes."
Jibert Jr. also smiled and said, "From your performance, at least the goal has been achieved, right?"
"It's true that you don't have to rely on your imagination to act. It's very helpful for the performance, and we did it easily," said Allen Page.
Although the performance without real objects is the basic course in the performance course, acting through imagination is not as good as bringing it in with real objects.
In addition to maintaining his character as a real-life maniac, helping actors complete their performances better is also one of the reasons why Jibert insists on real-life shooting.
When the scenes in Chicago are all filmed, it is October. The crew transferred back to the studio in Los Angeles. Except for the outdoor scenes in Canada, the rest of the scenes will be completed in the studio.
"Joseph, you have to face a great challenge. Do you have the confidence to complete it?" Gilbert asked.
Jigsef patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have been training for two months to prepare for this scene."
The other starring actors who were idle all appeared on the set. Tom Hardy was a joker and shouted loudly, "Arthur, do you need me to be your stand-in?"
Zeff responded: "No, Eames, I'm afraid you will fall into a meat pie."
There are also scenes of two people fighting in the movie. This habit will extend from the play to the outside, and also help the actors become more familiar with the roles.
Prepare Joseph and the stuntman enter the sprawling hotel spiral corridor, ready to shoot.
Before shooting, photography and lighting discussed the issue of shooting angle and lighting for a long time, and tried several shooting methods. Simply put, a fixed camera is fixed on the hotel corridor so that you will not see that the hotel corridor is rotating. The other one is controlled by a mechanical rocker arm to chase and shoot.
Fortunately, because of enough preparation and practice, this scene is not too difficult for Zeff. The scenes of the hotel's rotating corridor were filmed for a long time before they were announced to be over.
The actors were all excited because the filming process of such a movie was quite fresh and not always available.
Little Lizi is fine. After all, he has experienced the filming of "Titanic", and he is a crazier director.
The rest of Alan Peggy and Joseph Gordon Levitt are more mixed in small-cost films without being baptized by blockbusters.
Robert Downey Jr. has rich experience in shooting green screens. After all, many special effects in the "Iron Man" series require green screens, and he has not had such a large-scale real-life experience.
Marvel movies in previous lives were indeed the culmination of green screen technology. Using green screen technology to complete shooting on a large scale is one of the important means to save production costs.
And there are some scenes that you don’t use green screen and you really can’t shoot.
However, in the end, even the scenes in a cafe were filmed in green screen, and they were unwilling to go out to find a real-life shooting, which was obviously a bit overcorrect.
Gibert Jr. became the boss of Marvel Studios, so naturally he would not allow such absurd situation to happen.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Any technology and shooting method needs to be used appropriately and appropriately, and should be used when it is time to use it, but it cannot be abused. This is true whether it is green screen technology or real shooting mode.
Just like this "Inception", it is a perfect example of the combination of typical special effects technology and real-life shooting technology.
This time, Robert Downey Jr. was very satisfied with his participation in the filming of "Inception".
Although he is a supporting role, Robert Downey Jr. still excitedly said on the social media platform:
"You guys, you absolutely can't believe what crazy things we did. I can't wait to see this movie in theaters, believe me, it will make you dumbfounded."
Little Little Little is also a big mouth. After filming the Chicago outdoor scene, he couldn't wait to post a photo of himself and Alan Paige and Jibert on social media.
He also revealed excitedly: "This is one of the most imaginative and one of the best movies I have participated in. I have been very happy to shoot, and the action scenes are also wonderful, and there are many wonderful ideas. < br>
More importantly, these wonderful ideas come from reality, and I am quite looking forward to the film being completed. ”
Although the two big mouths said a lot, they didn't say anything, which made the movie fans itchy and wanted to see what big work Jibert had done again.
Of course, there are also some Reuters videos on the shooting site of "Inception".
But unfortunately, most of the videos are very blurry. Apart from seeing the scenes, they can't see anything else, and they are also very short, which is not enough for fans to satisfy their cravings.
The majority of movie fans initiated a petition online, requesting the crew to disclose more content.
But unfortunately, the crew remained silent, and even the two big mouths seemed to have been banned, and they would never reveal any content.
For the movie "Inception", it would be meaningless to disclose too much content in advance, and spoilers are not good.
Therefore, I had to let the fans continue to look forward to it and pray that they could see the movie in theaters as soon as possible.
The filming of the film was also quite smooth, and by the end of October, most of the filming was completed. Then in November, it was finally snowing in Calgary, Canada that the crew had been waiting for for a long time. (This chapter ends)
