Chatty Hollywood

Fortunately, the "too deep into the drama" caused by adrenaline secretion quickly subsided.

Before filming the next scene, the director specifically asked Brendan Fisher to take a look at the footage he had just shot.

"This performance is very good!"

Hearing Mr. Director's compliment, Brendan Fisher nodded.

——It’s more than good!

This performance of less than two minutes is simply the moment when Brendan Fisher's acting skills exploded since his debut.

Watching his performance on the monitor, Brandon even had a feeling of "Is this still me?"

"It seems that the emotional speech Mr. Director just gave was really useful!"

Brand Fisher sighed in his heart,

"I just don't know if it can always be effective. If it always works, maybe after watching the movie "The Mummy", my acting skills will reach a higher level!"

At this point, Brandon no longer cared about getting too involved in the drama.

In contrast, Lao Qiang, who knows some inside information about magic, understands what is going on better——

"Did you use magic to influence them when you were filming just now?"

During the shooting break, Lao Qiang secretly asked Charlotte.

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded,

"Is it effective? The problem we were worried about before has been solved!"

"..."

Old Gun gave Charlotte a thumbs up.

*******

When narrating the scene to the actors before, Charlotte actually used a slight spell to affect the surrounding atmosphere.

Of course, he also used hypnosis.

However, the actors were able to be so into the scene during subsequent filming, but it could not be achieved by just relying on these two points.

The most important thing was that when Charlotte told them the play, she gradually led them into the dream.

At the same time, the actors are still awake and able to carry out various activities in reality.

——This kind of spell that allows people to dream in a waking state and can mix dreams and reality to a certain extent is a newly developed ability as Charlotte's magic power increases.

The essence of this set of spells is the illusion passed down from ancient times. It's just that Charlotte took a different approach and made new plays and fine-tuning.

——So, after listening to Charlotte’s story, the actors will be affected in a sober state.

However, if she wants to achieve the legendary level of being able to use it at will to make people indistinguish the real from the fake, Charlotte can't do it yet.

Now, the most he can do is make people see parallel dream scenes in a trance.

But that's enough.

If the dream he created before was a pure virtual world, more similar to VR (virtual reality technology), then the spell he is using now is based on reality, allowing people to see more unrealistic scenes and Reality coexists.

This is more similar to AR (augmented reality) technology.

Before Charlotte time traveled, the popular mobile game "PokemonGo" - the latest version of "Pokemon" - used this new technology.

The new spell that Charlotte now masters can be called "Spell AR".

With the help of "Spell AR", Charlotte can enhance the imagination of the actors, allowing them to achieve the best acting effects during green screen photography.

——After all, to a certain extent, the actors can be said to have "seen" those unrealistic scenes with their own eyes.

It will naturally be much easier to perform this way.

Of course, some actors may wonder why the imagined scenes look so realistic.

However, under Charlotte's control, the illusions brought about by this spell did not appear continuously.

No matter what the actors think, in the end it can only be attributed to the fact that the director's narration was so contagious that everyone was affected.

**********

In short, with the help of this new spell that was born out of illusion and called "Spell AR" by Charlotte,

The subsequent filming progress of "The Mummy" has improved a lot.

Even after becoming proficient in using it, Charlotte felt that "Magic AR" might have more uses when he was filming movies——

Apart from anything else, "spell AR" has great application value in at least guiding the actor's imagination and allowing him to perform according to his own needs.

Not to mention when shooting special effects shots and green screen shooting.

The effective use of "magic AR" can perfectly combine the actor's performance with the later computer special effects.

——Charlotte feels that "Spell AR" is really a very useful spell for herself.

*******

Of course, in addition to the fact that the actors' lack of imagination during green screen photography made the performances unrealistic, the filming of "The Mummy" was not without other technical difficulties.

The most typical problem still lies in motion capture, which is also a computer special effects technology——

When using motion capture technology to create the mummified form of High Priest Immorton before transforming into a human form, the technicians at Spectre Studios encountered a problem.

——They couldn't accurately capture the actor's expression.

This resulted in a mummy made with computer special effects that had smooth movements but very stiff facial expressions.

Of course, this is not a problem unique to the "Mummy" crew.

In fact, the motion capture technology of this era is originally like this.

Capturing the subtle facial expressions has always been a problem.

Even the animated movie "The Polar Express" released in 2004 is still like this.

You know, the animation that made extensive use of motion capture technology was directed by the great Hollywood director Robert Zemeckis and starred by double Oscar winner Tom Hanks.

During the production of that animated film, a lot of money was burned, but this problem was still not solved.

So how can it be possible for the technical staff of the "Mummy" crew not to be stumped by this problem?

Even though the technical team responsible for motion capture specifically asked actor Arnold Vosloo, who played the role of High Priest Immorton, to repeatedly capture facial expressions no less than 20 times, the results were still unsatisfactory.

Fortunately, at this time, Charlotte, who discovered the problem, took action in time——

Because she admired Cameron before time travel, Charlotte paid attention to a lot of information about "Titanic" and "Avatar".

He knew that during the filming of "Avatar", which used extensive motion capture technology, he also encountered a similar problem of difficulty in capturing actors' facial expressions.

The "Avatar" crew overcame this technical problem.

The method can be said to be complicated or complicated, and it can be said to be simple or simple——

They specially made a recommended helmet for the actor. A bracket extends from the upper part of the helmet to hang a miniature camera to film and capture the actor's facial expressions.

——This is why after the popularization of this technology, in future Hollywood blockbusters, some actors performing motion capture will always be wearing green clothes and hats with strange brackets on their heads.

——The hat is to capture the actor’s facial expressions and collect the actor’s voice by the way.
