How is the 3D level of Longmen Feijian?

The flying sword with Longmen 3D special effects is really of international standard and the best one I have seen in China so far.

Tsui Hark himself is a technology controller, obsessed with all kinds of new technologies. He hired Hollywood professionals to support him when he filmed The Sword of the New Shu Mountain (1983). Two of them, Robert Braque and Peter Curran, are visual special effects artists in george lucas who participated in the Star Wars series. After more than a year of filming, he gradually joined a special effects team in Hong Kong to train local special effects personnel. After the film was released, although the comments were polarized, the image style and visual enjoyment were indeed unprecedented in Hong Kong.

Before filming flying swords of dragon gate, Xu Kexian set up a 3D shooting team and tried to shoot a short film monster hunt as a test. "flying swords of dragon gate" not only used a self-organized shooting team, but also invited the special effects team of "Avatar" and the special effects design experts of "20 12" to train the 3D team to help out-this is also the method he used when shooting "The New Swordsman of Shushan".

Longmen Flying Sword has 1058 special effects lens, * * used 1 1 special effects company. Some are in charge of tornadoes in the desert, some are in charge of sailboats at the beginning of the film, some are in charge of martial arts movements, and some are in charge of ancient cities with hidden treasures. When watching a movie, the special title is superimposed on the scene of Longjiang Naval Wharf, which is obviously showing off skills. The lens shuttles between the mast and the sail, and the picture is eye-catching. During the shipyard war, huge logs emerged from the air, and there were many kinds of knives and guns behind them. Chris Lee has more darts. The depth of field in the foreground and background of the film is also elegant. I don't think it's fair to simply compare flying swords of dragon gate with Avatar.

First, flying swords of dragon gate invested $35 million, which can't be compared with the production cost of Avatar of $350 million.

Secondly, flying swords of dragon gate is a martial arts film, and there is no possibility of horizontal analogy with the sci-fi film Avatar.

Why? Science fiction films are set in the future time and space, ranging from the characters in the scene to the grass and trees. These sci-fi things will be more convenient to process through the back green screen. Martial arts movies are a real world, with everything in real life except martial arts moves. As the saying goes, "It is easier to draw a ghost than a dog", which is also the truth.

How to build a grand 3D world with limited funds in a limited real scene is a challenge.

For 3D, the most important thing is the depth of field. There should be a certain space in the foreground and background to express the layering. This is why the master will use weapons such as darts, and it is also to match the visual effect (but the pie face is very unfavorable, you know). Including many scenes of the inn, comparing Tsui Hark's old version of New Longmen Inn with Hu Jinquan's old version of Longmen Inn, it can be clearly seen that the larger the inn space, the stronger the sense of hierarchy, and the more people appear, which is also for the needs of space operation.

For visual effects, Tsui Hark may have sacrificed a part of the plot logic (but the story is always the most important to the master, laugh), but this effort really made him achieve the best 3D special effects at that time. I remember when I finished the first movie, I was very happy to say, "Master is finally back." This film is a highlight in the history of special effects, especially in China.

I can't help but vomit again. After flying swords of dragon gate, many so-called domestic 3D movies are not only converted from 2D to 3D (3D and 2D are totally different in photography), but also operated by many small companies. I remember when a movie was released, someone complained: except the subtitles were in 3D, everything else was in 2D, hehehe. How much you pay is actually visible to the audience.
