Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 557 London after midnight

In the high-speed footage, Downey felt he looked powerful.

Every move he makes seems to have a striking effect.

Especially when hitting an opponent, the body of the struck party would deform like water ripples based on the hit position, which made him realize what "punch to the flesh" means.

This unique clip is a bit like slow motion, but there are far more details than slow motion...

"Is this the effect that has been edited?"

Downey was still watching, but Jude Law on the side had already asked curiously.

"Yes."

Charlotte explained,

"This footage was produced by editing together the previous footage of the prosthesis being hit and the previously shot footage. Moreover, for the sake of effect, we also adjusted the playback speed at different stages."

"I see."

Donnie nodded,

"This footage does look interesting, but what is the purpose of shooting this footage?"

He looked at Charlotte;

"Mr. Director, the script doesn't say that in detail. Can you explain it?"

"This is actually very simple."

Charlotte smiled;

"This is just a reflection of the unique fighting skills we designed for Holmes."

"Unique fighting skills?"

"That's right."

Charlotte shrugged.

"Wouldn't it be boring for a highly intelligent detective like Sherlock Holmes to use the same fighting methods as ordinary people?"

"So, we specially designed this unique lens to express the characteristics of Sherlock Holmes' fighting——"

"To put it simply, when the opponent's level and combat environment can be controlled and calculated, he will deduce the opponent's reaction before the battle begins, so as to make a continuous attack plan in advance to ensure that he will defeat the opponent in one go."

"And these shots taken through high-speed photography are actually the scenes that Holmes envisioned in his mind before the battle began."

"Then this expected picture is real enough!"

Donnie chuckled, not knowing how to describe it.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed interesting.

"Donny, you will need to dub these special shots later - after all, it is the picture that is envisioned in your mind, so it is okay to narrate it while thinking about it."

"That means that there can be situations like in many animations and movies, where it's obviously just a moment of fighting, but a lot of words are said?"

Downey quipped.

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded,

"But, it's in my own head."

"That's not bad."

Donnie was indeed interested.

**********

In addition to this fighting technique that is unique to Holmes, other filming of the movie was not without difficulties.

First of all, the use of IMAX cameras caused photographer Addison Young to suffer enough.

——There is no way, the size of that thing is too big, and the weight is unclear.

Carrying it while shooting made Addison Young once again realize that photography is a profession that requires physical strength and strength.

Fortunately, not all the shots in "Sherlock Holmes" will be shot using IMAX technology.

In fact, this technology is only used in some big scenes with more details, as well as some action and fighting scenes, in order to highlight more details and give people a shocking feeling.

——Just like the scene at the beginning of the story, when Holmes and Watson went to capture Earl Blackwood, who had killed multiple women in succession.

Just like Charlotte's original idea, the story of "Sherlock Holmes" is not the original story in "Sherlock Holmes", but an original story based on the story of Jack the Ripper.

At the beginning of this story, Holmes has traced the identity of Earl Blackwood and the location where he was going to commit the crime. He hurried there in order to prevent the other party from killing again.

And here, Charlotte is preparing to shoot a night in London in the 19th century, giving the audience a stunning start.

This is one of the differences between his version and the version before time travel.

After all, London at the end of the 19th century was a strange and bizarre world in the minds of the world.

Influenced by Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes and many works by Dickens, many people have their own fantasies about that era. If the beginning of the movie can give them a quick look at the foggy city of that era, they will probably be able to follow it immediately. It aroused the interest of many people.

However, it is not particularly easy to achieve this.

In addition to detailed scenery and special effects processing, Charlotte also used a spell——

Mirage.

This time, he borrowed the power of two ghosts, River Phoenix and Francis Farmer.

When he came to London several times before, River, a headless horseman, often dived to the bottom of the Thames River to look for historical relics.

——You know, since Roman times, the predecessor of the City of London has been located on the banks of the Thames.

It can be said that compared to London landmarks such as Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, the ever-flowing Thames River has actually witnessed more of London's history.

Ruifan originally wanted to discover some interesting historical relics under the Thames River. Of course, it would be better if he could find treasures.

Unfortunately, this wish did not come true.

However, he discovered an ancient vein with a certain aura at the bottom of the Thames River.

This is where Francis Farmer's magic comes into play.

**********

As a unique ghost born from the earth's veins and once parasitic on a dragon, Francis Farmer has very strong control over the earth's veins.

The use of mirages belonging to dragons is also one of her abilities.

Charlotte had borrowed this ability from her before while filming "The Mummy".

But this time, after hearing Ruifan say that there was an ancient ley line at the bottom of the Thames River, Charlotte came up with another idea.

He hoped that Francis Farmer would use mirage to help him recreate London at the end of the 19th century for filming.

Of course, if it is the same as when filming "The Mummy" and everyone can see it, then there will definitely be all kinds of ghost stories circulating in London the next day.

So in order to avoid trouble, this time Charlotte asked Francis Farmer to see the mirage only when he stood in his designated position.

——Although this is a bit more troublesome, it is not impossible to do with the help of Charlotte's spell.

In this way, Charlotte can use the IMAX camera to shoot without being discovered by others.

"But why is it that with that ley line, you can photograph the foggy London after midnight at the end of the 19th century?"

Both Alexis and Charlize were a little confused about this.
