Chatty Hollywood

Of course, Charlotte didn't copy the original "Inception" in every filming method.

It's like that "Penrose Stairs" shot.

In the story, there are two relevant shots——

One is the interpretation scene used by Arthur when he explains the mysteries of dreams to Adney, who is newly recruited by the protagonist Cobb;

The other one is a trap set by Arthur.

He used this trap to escape the pursuit of Fisher's dream guardian in the stairwell, and used the infinite loop feature of the Penrose ladder to get behind the opponent and push him down.

——After all, the so-called "Penrose Ladder", in its original concept, refers to a ladder that always goes up or down but never ends. The highest point or the lowest point can never be found on this ladder.

This is actually not a mystical concept, but a famous geometric paradox.

It was proposed by the British mathematician Roger Penrose and his father, the geneticist Leonid Penrose, in 1958. It is as famous as concepts such as the Möbius strip and the Klein bottle.

After research by scientists, the Penrose ladder is impossible to exist in three-dimensional space.

However, as long as a higher-order space is placed, the Penrose ladder can be easily realized.

——In the original "Inception", this "Penrose Ladder" was achieved by using optical illusions.

The special effects team referred to the Penrose Stairs described by Dutch painter Escher and built a realistic closed staircase in the filming location that looks like an infinite loop of ascending and descending from a specific angle.

——Of course, from any other angle, this set will be instantly confusing, because it is not closed at all.

Charlotte didn't quite use this approach when filming "Inception" in this time and space.

——He directly used magic to create a real "Penrose Ladder" in reality.

After all, from a spell perspective, ghost walls, soul-hanging ladders, etc. can actually easily achieve similar effects.

What's more, after Charlotte obtained a ghost ship, she already had a certain grasp of the interstitial space.

——Using the gap space is the best way to create this kind of infinite loop in reality, always going up or down the stairs.

Anyway, Charlotte easily created the real-life "Penrose Stairs" and used them for filming.

Of course, in order to prevent unsuspecting actors from finding out, he still needs to do some concealment.

But fortunately, in these two scenes related to the Penrose Steps, the only outsider is John Cusack, who plays Arthur.

The rest are either ghosts like Alexis or some remnant souls that Charlotte temporarily found, and photographer Addison Young has already known about the spell.

——They won’t tell it.

As for John Cusack, Charlotte simply asked him to daydream during the filming——

In the story, this "Arthur" should be explaining to Alexis, who plays Adney, how dreams should work, but during the actual filming, he was taken away by Miss Valkyrie and slipped between dreams and reality. One lap.

Using the interference of dreams on memory and perception, John Cusack did not find any clues.

However, due to the interference of this dream, his daze from time to time became more serious.

However, coupled with his slightly cute face, this dull feeling really fits the character of Arthur in the story...

**********

Of course, Charlotte would directly use magic to create the "Penrose Stairs", not just to save money or time in building the set.

The most important purpose is that he feels that the "Penrose Ladder" is an important explanation for the different methods of constructing dreams and reality in "Inception".

After the movie is released, he can use the magic of the movie to literally create an infinite loop of stairs to trap the ghosts.

——The "Penrose Ladder" he currently created using magic,

But it can only be effective on living people, not ghosts...

**********

In short, like the original "Inception", Charlotte's "Inception" also uses a lot of traditional special effects techniques. Coupled with his magic special effects, the final picture expression is even better than that of the original version. "Inception" is nothing unusual.

And it is in this regard that he so-called utilized some 3D technologies.

You must know that for future 3D effects, in addition to the conventional way of wearing 3D glasses, there are also some Yiguoyan 3D technologies.

However, compared to 3D glasses, which are easier to implement and promote, Yiguoyan 3D technology generally has higher requirements and more restrictions.

——For these reasons, Yiguoyan 3D technology had not been promoted on a large scale until Charlotte traveled through time.

For Charlotte, however, the story is different.

He used some shooting methods that can highlight the 3D feeling, combined with magic and some 3D light and shadow technology, to show a certain 3D effect on the ordinary 2D movie screen.

——This is what he discovered by accident recently when he was studying how to add spell effects to the latest IMAX camera.

——At the same time, not all pictures can achieve this effect.

However, considering that there are quite a lot of grand scenes and action shots in "Inception", it would be very meaningful as long as some of them are realized.

After all, Yiguoyan 3D movies and the like were not realized even in the era when 3D movies were rampant before Charlotte traveled through time.

——Although it is rumored that James Cameron's "Avatar 2" is preparing to achieve the 3D effect of Yiguoyan, but considering Cameron's reputation of "sharpening a sword for ten years" and "the king of bouncers", Xia Lott feels that this is likely to be another "in my lifetime" series...

In short, because of this unexpected discovery, Charlotte planned to experiment on a small scale with this 3D technology of magic and science during the filming of "Inception".

——Although he doesn't like being a guinea pig, when it comes to magic research, that's another matter.

And, at the end of the day, this hybrid technology isn’t really complicated.

On a purely technical level, this method is not much different from 3D movie technology that requires wearing glasses. It still takes advantage of the visual difference between the two eyes.

——This is the reason why when people watch ordinary 3D movies, if they don’t wear 3D glasses, they will see ghosted 2D images.

After that, Charlotte used magic to replace the function of 3D glasses——

He directly uses a method similar to hypnosis to overlap the different scenes seen by the audience's left and right eyes at the subconscious level.

In this way, viewers can see 3D images without wearing glasses.

For Charlotte, it's a completely different future...
