261 Chapter 261 Start-up shooting (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)
It was cloudy on December 25.
At about ten in the morning, Lehman led the crew to a place far away from downtown Los Angeles.
There are boxing gyms built with warehouses, streets and communities. It is the best location for ”Million Dollar Baby”.
Without a programmatic start-up ceremony, Warner wanted to make a splash, but Lehman rejected it because it was unnecessary.
With the help of the directors’ union, the crew negotiated with the residents of the community and completed the relevant procedures.
Reporters or something, I didn't know where to get wind and came to interview, so I should avoid it.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The set has already been completed, and the scene of the filming will soon be heard, saying, ”First come the rehearsal.”
Then Lehmann raised the loudspeaker again and said, ”Thomas, double check the camera position. There is an error in the lighting group, the recording group brought the radio equipment...”
The dress rehearsal began.
A few group actors simply started to practice walking, hoping not to steal the spotlight when shooting.
Five minutes later, it was determined that there was nothing wrong with the actor's cooperation. Lehman stood behind the director's monitor and immediately said, ”All departments are ready...”
”Unit 1?”
”Ok.”
”light?”
”no problem.”
As the heads of various departments stretched out their hands to confirm, the recorder stood in front of the main camera and gently hit the recorder.
”The first scene of the first scene of ”Million Dollar Baby”, action--”
There was a crisp kicking sound, and then the monitor in front of Lyman showed the shooting picture of Unit One. This scene is the daily training of the boxing gym opened by ”Frankie” played by Eastwood, and ”Rankey”'s only friend, ”Eddie” played by Morgan Freeman makes his first appearance.
This casting is consistent with the previous life, because this guy’s voice is very magnetic and he needs to do a post narration dubbing, and apart from Morgan Freeman, Lehman doesn’t know any particularly suitable candidates, and the two are in ”Bad Guy” has a cooperation, he and Clint Eastwood are also old acquaintances, a little invitation, they are happy to join the group.
The three cameras are placed separately.
The first camera is the main point of view for capturing close-ups of characters, controlled by Thomas himself.Because you need to follow up later, and there is no slide rail and no fixed tripod, you need to put the camera on your shoulder.Although this kind of shoulder anti-camera is not particularly heavy, it is very demanding for the photographer, and it can't shake hands at all, even if it is moving the lens, it must be kept at a very slight range.
Once the animation surface also collapses, the whole shot will not work.
You have to start again.
And Thomas’ technology Lehman is quite recognized. This guy is not interested in many things. He is unwilling to cultivate him and lead him to the management. Only for camera, that is true love.His hands are as steady as an old dog, and he understands Lehman's shooting intentions. A veritable royal photographer, Lehman is not used to leaving him.
The second machine is responsible for side-shooting and has a fixed angle of view. It can be pushed slowly with a slide rail.
The third machine is simpler and can be completed by any camera assistant, mainly responsible for shooting the street scenery at the door, which will be used in later editing.
Clint Eastwood was wearing a brown-gray woolen coat, carrying an old shoulder bag whose outer shell had begun to fall off, head down, his hair a little messy, his beard unkept, and his expression dumb.Only a little makeup was painted on the face.It was to make him look older and his face was sallow.
”early.”
”early.”
Eastwood waved his hand, slowly returned to his seat, and poured himself a glass of water.
”Crack.”
Lehman stared at the performance, felt something was wrong, and decisively called to stop.
