Disaster Artist

Art making is all about:

Bottlenecks will appear sooner or later, even for rare geniuses. The only difference is that they come earlier and later.

Moreover, only a very, very few people can break through the bottleneck and complete the transformation, while more people are stuck in the bottleneck and completely lost. After the light dissipates, they escape into mediocrity.

Lu Qian was not sure when his bottleneck would appear, but, by filming "tourists", he noticed his slack, so he hoped to make changes.

Keeping creative vitality all the time, at least in the peak period of creative inspiration, I look forward to creating more excellent works.

In the shooting of "Love", Lu Qian hoped to regain his attitude. However, the shooting environment of "Love" is slightly different.

In Yemane, natural light is the best way for the crew to create an atmosphere. To a certain extent, after waiting for a long time, try to capture the natural light as much as possible to start shooting. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, the accumulation of materials is indeed a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In the claim, here is another situation.

The sun is shining here, the sky is high and the air is cool. The beautiful weather in autumn makes the sun shine all the time. It is difficult to create the atmosphere required by the "lover" only by relying on natural light. Therefore, on the one hand, they need to use artificial light to create effects, on the other hand On the one hand, it needs to be adjusted later.

In addition, Lu Qian hopes to improve the shooting efficiency and ensure that the layout before shooting and the editing after shooting can be perfectly coordinated, so that the entire crew can run at high speed.

In the end, Lu Qian decided that they would find a professional visual effects company to cooperate with, while shooting on the spot, while synchronizing the post-production process:

Donta Visual Effects Studio.

This studio is not very experienced, and it has only been in the film industry for less than four years, but their parent company is Tangta Technology, which produces animation formats and document reading.

Tangta Technology is one of the top computer program/software companies in the world. It has been at the top of the pyramid for more than 15 years. However, with the comprehensive development of computer technology, mobile signal technology, etc., there is more room for improvement in animation formats and document reading. They are getting narrower and even lagging behind the times, and they are being slowly eliminated.

Tangta Technology also realized that video and images are the future, and more and more high-definition and more realistic images will become part of life. Therefore, before the company went downhill, they made plans and actions with far-sightedness. Established Tangta Visual Effects Studio and opened a new business.

After its establishment, Tangta Visual Effects Studio went through software development and technology in the early stage, and it took less than two years to really enter the film industry to start work. Relying on the profound background of the parent company, it gathered a group of top talents and developed it in the early stage. And the work that went into production went well.

One after another, Tangta's visual effects also participated in some small projects and local visual effects of the film, and tried the best-

Ordinary audiences have always misunderstood VFX. They often think that VFX is only needed for explosion scenes and fight scenes in superhero movies, but in fact, VFX has always been a very basic part of movies.

For example, the avalanche scene in "Tourists" is a visual special effect, the picture is not grand, and more emphasis is placed on reality, but through actual shooting, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is often difficult to produce the really desired effect. There may even be danger, so computer effects are the best way.

There are countless similar situations.

For example, a city is created through computer special effects, so that the crew can photograph all the cities in the world in Lanchuan.

For example, when using computer special effects to simulate details such as weather, crowds, light, etc., it is often just a detail or a background in the picture. Even if it is not a sci-fi movie but an ordinary drama movie, it is difficult to achieve the director's effect on the shooting scene. Post-production will be used.

For example, use computer special effects to color grade, retouch pictures, and change the texture of the picture, and use computer special effects to simulate the life fragments that must appear in the movie-airplane passing overhead, cats and dogs fighting on street corners, the scenery outside the train window, etc. The seemingly ordinary picture also hides countless post-productions.

Although it is said that computer special effects shine in commercial films, creating an incredible audio-visual experience for the audience, in fact, the most widely and commonly used computer effects are feature films.

The former, that is a big project, is often taken over by the top giants in the industry, and a project may take eight months and a year.

The latter, that is a small project, the work cycle may be about a week, but the key is a large number. After all, Lanchuan produces enough works every month, which can support the survival of a large number of small visual effects studios.

Donta's visual effects, so far, have been involved in some small projects.

Then, Xiu Zhongjun made a bridge, and the two sides reached a cooperation. Tangta's visual effects joined the "Love" crew for free, and participated in the development and production of the film——

It was also the first film to be independently completed entirely by Donta's VFX post-production software.

There are two reasons why Tangta VFX Studio is willing to agree to cooperate for free.

First, they have developed a new set of software that can process massive amounts of data in real time, ensure that all data can be processed quickly and smoothly, and be perfectly realized according to the director's vision, to overcome the limitations of realistic shooting as much as possible, so as to maximize the Unleash your creative freedom.

This set of software poses a huge threat and challenge to all competitive products currently on the market, and its processing speed, processing power and presentation effect are all in a leading position——

The internal test result is so, but they need a work to prove it~www.novelmt.com~ Second, in addition to the software, Tangta Visual Effects Studio also needs a business card to tell the whole Lanchuan that they have Have the ability to independently produce film VFX, and be able to do it very, very well.

After the software is developed, everyone can use it, and the studio can charge the copyright fee. Even ordinary people can use it to edit their own birthday party and wedding party videos; but the studio is a professional team, they You need to show that you are capable of all post-production special effects work.

They look forward to the "lover" to become this business card.

So, Xiu Zhongjun and Tangta Technology negotiated this cooperation, and let the "lover" become the first person to eat crabs. This is the most important and formal first step of Tangta Technology in the film industry.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Hanzhou did not follow the crew to seek evidence, but stayed in Lanchuan to cooperate with Tangta Visual Effects Studio.

This is also the first time that Lin Hanzhou has cooperated with a group of strangers in an unfamiliar environment without the company of his parents or Lu Qian, and Lu Qian is inevitably a little worried:

Are they in a hurry?
