Give Me a Translation

This forest seemed ordinary, but the deep feeling made Leike unable to take his eyes away in an instant.

He was surprised to find something that he couldn't tell if it was special effects or real shooting.

If this was a real shot, the trees would grow in strange shapes. The cost of making such realistic props is not low, and it is such a large forest.

If this is a special effect, it is even more impossible, because in Leike's knowledge, no special effects studio can undertake such a large amount of special effects production, and it may not be able to achieve the immediate effect.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of bagpipes, the camera moved in the forest and stopped on a few patrolling people. They were wearing leather armor mixed with cloaks, holding crossbows, spears, daggers, etc., and were walking in a hurry.

"The props and costumes are of a very high quality."

Director Justin commented.

Whether a film is good or not can be seen in the success of the film.

Watching those dramas where you wear ancient costumes but end up with the wrong laces and sneakers on your shoes, it's embarrassing no matter how good the script is.

But now these people's clothes, makeup, and weapons looked like soldiers who had just come off the battlefield.

What's more important is the look in those soldiers' eyes.

That kind of coexistence of fatigue and vigilance, as well as numbness and indifference in the eyes, cannot be performed without more than ten years of acting experience.

Moreover, these actors are not the Eastern actors he is familiar with, they look like extras.

Are the current supporting actors of such a high standard?

Or did the director directly find veterans who had actually experienced the war and let them play these supporting roles?

Justin I know that in the past, in order to pursue a sense of reality, some directors liked to find people with relevant experience to play roles, such as looking for people who are pregnant to play pregnant women, looking for people with disabilities to play disabled people, etc.

It can be said that in Justin's opinion, just the first few scenes made him feel that this movie was unusual.

On the screen, the group of people continued to walk forward. Suddenly, a monster's roar came from the distance. The soldiers were obviously alert and raised their crossbows in the direction of the sound.

The silent and tense atmosphere was pushed to its peak with the sudden stop of the music. Justin felt as if he was in that deep and dark forest, becoming one of those soldiers, facing the unknown monster, fearfully taking aim with his crossbow.

He couldn't help but grab the armrest of the sofa.

The camera peeks into the depths of the forest from a first-person perspective, with slight ups and downs of breathing, full of realism.

The forest scene is very dim, but every detail of the scene is clearly visible.

In the industry, many special effects shots are placed at night, with monsters fighting and destroying the city, and robots flying around dazzling the sky. Most of them are at night.

This is mainly because special effects at night are easy to do. Everyone can't see clearly at night. The special effects don't need to be done in detail. No one in the cinema will pause in a flash, which can effectively reduce costs.

The special effects in broad daylight are troublesome, especially those involving the combination of real scenes, which are much more troublesome than pure green screens.

This leads to the fact that the special effects shots of many movies are very dark. In the cinema, the bright light and the surrounding darkness are barely enough, but at home it looks completely dark, making it difficult to see anyone clearly.

But in the current picture, although the surroundings are very dim, every plant and tree in the forest is clear. In Justin's words, it's like observing it with the naked eye.

This brings the ultimate sense of immersion.

Just when Justin was trying to find the source of the sound in the forest, the soldier standing at the front suddenly seemed to remember something and turned sideways to aim the crossbow.

As soon as the camera turned, he saw a silver-gray giant wolf with six legs and four eyes rushing towards him.

Whoosh whoosh——

The other people's crossbow arrows immediately shot out and penetrated the body of the wolf, but it bit the unlucky soldier as if it couldn't feel Affliction. Only flesh and blood were seen flying everywhere. Half of the soldier's body was thrown away, and the remaining upper body was still in the giant wolf's mouth, trying to struggle.

The battle was extremely brutal. Justin could clearly see the intestines and internal organs flowing out of the body bitten by the giant wolf. The warm blood was spilled on the ground covered with rotten leaves. Red and black, life and death, civilization and barbarism, formed a tragic yet somewhat beautiful picture.

This series of shots has no trace of editing. It is an astonishing long shot. The soldiers' fighting and cooperation, as well as the ferocity and ferocity of the giant wolf, become more tense and realistic against the background of this breathless long shot.

Just when this group of people finally dealt with the giant wolf, and everyone was bruised and exhausted, more howls suddenly sounded from all directions.

The camera showed a close-up of the face of one of the surviving soldiers. With his face covered in blood, he looked at his companions, his eyes filled with despair.

As the camera zoomed out, overlooking the soldiers who stood up in a hurry to organize resistance, and the giant wolf that was gradually approaching, the whole forest appeared on the screen. It was an extremely vast forest with no end in sight. The dark trees were towering, blocking the earth. With a gust of wind, the tree crown surged like a tide, and occasionally the shouts of soldiers and the roar of giant wolves were heard.

Finally, as everything came to an abrupt end, the title "Demon Tide" appeared on the screen, which meant that the introduction just now was over and the movie officially started.

After watching this episode, everyone present forgot that they still had beer in their hands.

"Isn't that a special effect just now?"

Professor Armitage asked uncertainly.

The battle scenes were extremely bloody, and the scenes of stumps flying around were extremely real, giving people a great shock. Some directors are very good at showing the aesthetics of violence, and like to put violent shots on the faces of the audience, using extreme battles to make the audience feel hearty. Some directors are good at using realistic wounds to inspire the instinctive fear in the audience, and using fists to flesh to make the audience immersed in the scene.

The battle scenes in "Demon Tide" are very brutal, but they also contain a certain sense of tragedy and mission. Just like the scenes of humans fighting those beasts in ancient times, they are thrilling and take your breath away.

Leike Let go of the hand he had been holding tightly before, and he found that his palms were full of sweat.

His original vision for "Demon Tide" was completely shattered in the few minutes before the title of the film appeared.

Is it true that such a movie, such pictures and scenes are not produced by Hollywood, but are achieved by other countries based on their own strength?

Whether it is the special effects, props, costumes, or performance, they have completely reached the top level of Hollywood. Even what he didn't want to admit in his heart was that this might have exceeded the level they knew.

How on earth was this made?
