Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 183 Wonderful Image

When Charlotte revived Gwyneth, who had been harmed by Depp and Winona, she did not eliminate the evil spirit from her body.

And he didn't think that the evil spirit would dissipate naturally.

"Could it be that the evil energy representing the three original sins has been transferred to other people?"

For a time, Charlotte was full of doubts.

However, he also knew that this matter would not be clear for a while.

And he still has work to do -

"Now I say, there should be no problem in choosing Charlize as the heroine, right?"

During the previous audition process, Charlotte had been silent. Only now did he finally ask.

Jodie Foster and Andrew Walker both nodded.

With the facts before us, there is nothing to argue about.

"Charlotte, how did you feel about your visit to the Hudson Canyon this time?"

asked Andrew Walker.

"This...how should I say this?"

Charlotte scratched her head,

"The landscape of the Hudson Canyon and the preserved architectural style of the ancient village are very consistent with the original work and are very similar to the requirements of the script. If it were a pure costume drama, it would be enough."

"But what?"

Jodie Foster asked with a smile,

"You would say that, there must be something else, right?"

"You're right!"

Charlotte nodded,

"However, what we are going to shoot is a costume fantasy horror film. The normal scenery of the Hudson Canyon alone may not be able to express the dark and weird style."

The story of "Sleepy Hollow" itself is dark and strange, even the original "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is the same.

So even if Charlotte wasn't Tim Burton and couldn't make a movie without a dark gothic feel, he still couldn't just use the natural setting of the Hudson Canyon.

"So, are we going to put up an artificial set?"

asked Andrew Walker.

Charlotte Kanjing went with photographer Addison Young, whose documentary footage Andrew and Jodie Foster have seen this week.

Therefore, they were not surprised when they heard Charlotte's words, and Andrew even directly asked follow-up questions.

After all, in this era, if you can't shoot images directly on location, you can only set up a studio.

——Full green screen shooting, in this era, is still relatively difficult to implement technically, and has not become popular on a large scale.

But Charlotte shook her head,

“It would be too time-consuming and expensive if all the exterior scenes were set up in a studio.”

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I plan to still shoot on location in the Hudson Canyon, but I will use some technical means to render the images to achieve the dark and weird style needed for the story."

"Rendering!? Is it using a computer to render?"

Jodie Foster and Andrew Walker were stunned.

It’s not that the two of them have never been exposed to similar technologies, but as far as they know, in order to achieve the effect desired in Charlotte’s script——

"It shouldn't be possible with today's technology, right?"

Charlotte said nothing. He just turned on the device and, with the help of photographer Addison Young, played a video...

*******

Addison Young had been looking forward to this footage.

When he and Charlotte were enjoying the scenery in the Hudson Canyon near New York, the two discussed how to turn ordinary natural scenery into dark and weird.

Apart from large-scale artificial scenery, Addison did not think of any other way.

But Charlotte said it could be rendered using special effects technology.

"Using the technology I mentioned before for special effects rendering should be enough."

What he said was clear-cut, which made Addison, who was originally very skeptical, couldn't help but look forward to it.

And Charlotte lived up to Mr. Photographer’s expectations.

"This is--"

Addison was surprised as soon as he took a look at the video played by Charlotte.

And soon, Jodie Foster and Andrew Walker, who had also watched a lot of videos and movies, also understood.

"This is the same video recording we saw before!?"

"It's the same paragraph."

Charlotte nodded,

"The difference is that this section has been rendered with special effects."

On the screen, the natural scenery was exactly the same as before, but it looked gloomy, dark, and sinister...

"How on earth is it done?"

Photographer Addison Young thought to himself.

He still remembered that many of the shots Charlotte asked him to take were a bit strange, and most of them used a filter he had never seen before——

"Is it related to that kind of filter?"

During the on-site shooting, he did not notice any changes in the picture after passing through that filter. But now, the processed picture has undergone such magical changes.

"Maybe what is being filtered is not visible light!"

As a photographer, Addison Young knows a lot about optics. He suspected that the filter Charlotte gave him filtered some non-visible light such as ultraviolet light.

"I guess those pop lights will affect the production of special effects?"

Addison Young guessed,

"It seems like the Alexis Charlotte was talking about is really not to be underestimated! There are also perverts among female programmers!"

——Well, although Addison's idea is somewhat sexist, a small part of his guess is indeed correct.

——Of course, not the part about Alexis.

The filter Charlotte gave him could indeed block some invisible light.

But that's not the main purpose of that filter.

Its main function is to record Charlotte's transformed image into the camera.

——This is what Charlotte said before, the method of recording the transformed image from the evil god’s disguise.

He turned the filter into something similar to the eye of a living thing.

There is a faint consciousness on it.

From the consciousness of Charlotte itself.

With the interference of conscious factors, the filter is like the human eye, able to receive the image changes brought about by the disguise technique.

The camera behind the filter will also be affected by the filter and record this change.

Of course, this is not the reason why the originally recorded natural scenery has become gloomy and strange.

But essentially, the principles are similar.

Since the filter has a little bit of Charlotte's consciousness attached to it, he can naturally take pictures of things that ordinary people can't see according to his wishes——

At that time, he used magic to condense the Yin Qi in the Hudson Canyon.

This kind of change is invisible to ordinary people's eyes.

However, if you use special magic to observe, you can immediately see the Yinfeng.

Under Charlotte's spell, Addison Young's camera actually recorded this scene.

It’s just that the photographer himself can’t see it.

After Charlotte's handling afterwards, this strange and terrifying scene finally emerged.

——This is the current influence.

"It should be said that this picture has indeed been rendered!"

Charlotte whispered in her heart,

"However, it's not digital rendering, but spell rendering!"

PS1: "Wonderful Image" is a documentary in 2011. It contains interviews with many famous directors and actors, including Christopher Nolan and Tim Roth. PS2: Hudson Canyon is the place where the original work of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" took place. When filming "Sleepy Hollow", the director team did go there to see the scenery, and the conclusion they got was the same as what was written in my book, except that they Since I don’t know magic like Charlotte, I chose to go to London to build all the artificial scenery. PS3: So, in the movie "Sleepy Hollow", most of the scenery was actually built artificially, which is one of the reasons why it cost so much.
