"First of all, the initial background is brighter when it comes to Minastiris, and various creatures and items from the siege are added."

In the wide tent, Duke stood behind Mary Victoria, the head of the animation team of Wita Studios. While looking at the initially designed model, he said his request, "The sky is covered with dark clouds, and the ring spirits are passing through the clouds and mists, and they must pass through the narrow gaps like bats."

After watching for a while, Duke said again, "The Ring Spirit flew around the building and hit pedestrians. The horror enveloped the entire Minastiris, and the ground was filled with scenes of humans scattered and fleeing..."

Many scenes of the Battle of Minastiris need to be synthesized using gi. Duke takes the material based on the model and then sends it to Mary Victoria's team to fit into the model.

Although according to Duke's requirements, Vita Studio first completed the special effects of "The Rings Expedition", after receiving the first two remunerations paid by the Lord of the Rings Studio, Vita also expanded its own scale and had more sufficient personnel to cooperate with the crew's shooting progress.

In fact, the entire $350 million budget was more than the previous one, except for the director who was higher than Peter Jackson's basic pay, he basically threw everything into the special effects production.

If the market response is good enough after the release of "The Rings Expedition Team", it is inevitable to invest additionally in post-production.

After talking to Mary Victoria, Duke left the temporary special effects room and returned to the set to continue shooting the panoramic material of Minastyris.

Placed in front of the crew is the Saint White City, which is nearly forty feet high in polystyrene made by Vita Studio and the mountain model behind it. Unlike the quaint and madness of the Holy Helmet Valley, the more refined gun holes on the walls, the longitudinal edges of the roof, the patterns of the windowsills are all vivid in my mind, and even the weathered grooves on the street stones and the missing corners of the roof are exquisite.

To shoot panoramic shots suitable for Ggi synthesis, it must meet the needs of the scene. Duke, John Schwartzman and Mary Victoria have long set up detailed plans and shooting methods. When the director called for the start, a miniature camera was fixed on the hydraulic lift. It climbed up at an extremely slow speed, first hovering around the San White City model, and then shooting along the outer ring of the model.

This kind of scene shooting requires very high technology. In order not to make the proportion of the miniature landscape uneven, the lens must be placed to the maximum. Therefore, the shooting speed is not the usual 24 grids per second, but 15 seconds per grid. The effect of this shooting is that this white city looks higher than the Eiffel Tower.

The synthetic scene where Duke mentioned earlier, riding a flying beast and walking between buildings requires the use of a mini camera to shuttle back and forth between buildings with less than 1 inch of Baicheng model.

After a few hours of shooting, Duke walked towards the temporary special effects room again. Ian McLean had no show today and was walking on the set. After seeing Duke, he followed.

"Didn't you go fishing with Billy?" Duke asked when he saw him walking to him.

Ian McLean sighed helplessly, "He is so active. He sits by the lake and keeps talking. The sound is loud enough that the fish are scared away by him."

Duke knew it was a joke. Ian McLean had a great relationship with Billy Boyd, who was also a British man. In addition to the shooting of Gandalf and Pipin, he also liked to make fun together.

"How is that lake?" Duke slowed down a little and stopped in front of the special effects room door, waiting for Ivanka Trump to surpass them and enter the special effects room.

"Very pretty..." Ian McLean lowered his loud voice, "If you are interested, you can go there for the weekend."

Duke nodded, then walked into the special effects room first, and Ian McLean followed.

The entire special effects group led by Mary Victoria was busy. Duke walked over and communicated with Mary for a few words, then returned to the door. Ian McLean was standing there with his hands on his chest. Looking at a ring spirit on the left side of the door, he held a sword in his left hand and a chain hammer in his right hand...

"That's not true, right?" The model was extremely realistic. Ian McLean asked this question.

Duke shrugged and joked with him, "I think it's true. Ian, we were lucky to find a real ring spirit."

"Impossible." Ian McLean shook his head immediately.

"How could it be impossible?" Duke also folded his arms and chest, "Tell you the truth, New Zealand is the only country in the world with a real ring spirit."

"Duke." Ian McLean knew that this was a joke, "You should tell me whether this is made of polystyrene or silicone."

"So you can see that this is a model." Duke laughed intentionally, walked to the Angma Witch King, and patted it lightly, "I really want to transport a ring spirit home."

“Can it move?”

"Can't move because it has no batteries." Duke turned around and pointed to a model of White City about two feet tall next to him. "This city has no AA batteries... I searched every convenience store owner in White City, but unfortunately the AA batteries are out of stock."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hidden corner in the special effects room sounded Ivanka Trump's crisp voice, "ut!"

Then, Ivanka walked out with a DVD recorder, first giving a thumbs up, and then showing a playful smile to Duke, "Your acting skills have improved!"

That’s right, the scenes that seemed to be lifelike just now were actually acting, with the purpose of making the promotional highlights shots look more like secret shots!

Which one is more attractive to the audience when shooting with a straightforward camera or the scene where some people deliberately use DVD to shoot secretly?

So, at a regular briefing this morning, this film was finalized, and Ivanka Trump, a complete layman, became the most suitable candidate.

In fact, all the videos are similar, and many seemingly unintentional shots have been designed in advance.

This is like media street photography. How many of the beautiful photos that appear in newspapers and magazines are real street photography?

Duke took the DV, walked to a table, and watched it for a while. He said to Ivanka who followed him, "The shot was very good, and it felt like a sneak shot. Evie. You can do some selfies in your life..."

“Self-photo?”

Ivanka Trump pulled away the chair and sat opposite Duke. "What are you doing for a selfie?"

"Uh?" Duke certainly couldn't talk about topics like Teacher Chen, so he casually gave a reason to make excuses, "You can post it online and share it with others."

“Share on the Internet?”

Duke just said something casually, just a fool, but Ivanka's mind is active and a young man who often comes into contact with the Internet suddenly lit up. A not very clear concept even appeared in his mind.

When the time comes after get off work, Duke greets Mary Victoria and Ian McLean, leaves the special effects room and walks towards his trailer. Ivanka Trump follows him as usual.

The crew is stationed in the wilderness in front of the mountain. The road is not too smooth. Duke walked in front, and Ivanka was slightly behind him, as if he was distracted. So much so that he tripped by a protruding small stone, and half of his body suddenly fell to the side.

Duke quickly reached out and grabbed her, "What are you thinking?"

"Oh. Nothing?" Ivanka restored her balance with Dukela's force and smiled embarrassedly, "I was a little dazed just now."

"Is your feet okay?" Duke looked down at the bottom of Ivanka's long legs, but was blocked by the two bulging balls, so he had to withdraw his gaze.

Ivanka subconsciously pushed her chest down and threw the golden ponytail that was thrown on her shoulder back behind her back, "I'm fine, let's go."

He looked at Ivanka strangely. Duke walked towards the residential area first. Ivanka probably didn't sprain his ankle. There was no problem walking.

"Are you missing home?"

Last time the crew was on holiday, Duke heard Ivanka say that she did not go home, but went to school.

"What are you going back to do?" Ivanka said with a little emotion in her words, "Go back to see my dad's new model girlfriend?"

Seeing her mention Donald Trump, Duke asked curiously, "Aren't he dating a Victoria's Secret angel?"

"It's broken up,"

Ivanka swung his long legs and kicked a small stone away with his sneakers. "Then he found another model again. When I called him a few days ago, he said he wanted to marry the other party."

Although the two are more of working relationships, they have been together for several months and can be said to be very familiar with each other. At this time, Ivanka Trump seemed to be telling his troubles to his friends.

"Can you imagine?" She turned her body and spread her hands to Duke. "I might have a stepmother!"

"Things won't be like you think." Duke comforted her.

It is common for a wealthy man like Donald Trump to pursue beautiful female models, but he will definitely be cautious if he really wants to get married.

Ivanka Trump lowered his head and kicked another stone away, "I just hope that his future marriage partner will be a few years older than me."

Duke patted her arm in a comforting manner. This was Ivanka Trump's family affairs. Listening to her pouring talk, it's okay, but let's forget about participating.

Walking into the residential area of ​​the crew and coming to Duke's trailer, Ivanka stopped and said, "Thank you for listening to me for so much."

"Is it better?" Duke opened the car door and looked at her. Ivanka nodded. "I've been holding these things in my mind for several days, and I feel much better when I say them."

She sighed, "When Tina is here, I can communicate with her..."

"You can tell me if you encounter any trouble." Duke pointed to his ear, "I will be a good listener."

"I'll go back first." Ivanka walked towards his trailer and turned around and said, "I won't have dinner anymore. Don't wait for me. I have to think about something."

Duke nodded to her, and saw that Ivanka was still feeling a little depressed, so he simply suggested, "Tomorrow is the weekend. Let's go fishing with Ian and the others, just take a break. They all said the scenery there is very good." (To be continued)
