Visual effects

John Knoll "Pirates of the Caribbean" directed by Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy And the advance trailer of the computer-animated film "Rango", voiced by "Little Miss Sunshine" Abigail Breslin, has been released. This one-minute trailer was a big hit, with an empty western street and an orange mechanical fish slowly flying across the screen... The plot of "Rigo" currently exposed is very simple: one A royal pet with charisma embarks on a life of adventure and ultimately discovers himself. Johnny Depp plays the protagonist Riggo, who is a "chameleon"? Is the big orange fish in the trailer its means of transportation? We don't know the specific details yet.

Although the producer of "Rigo" is Paramount, Industrial Light and Magic, the leader in the film special effects industry, was invited to be responsible for the production of animation effects. Gore Verbinski said that they will use "cutting edge techniques" to better capture every detail of the actors' performances and transform them into vivid animated characters. It sounds like Verbinski is following a path similar to that of Robert Zemeckis.

"Rigo" is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 18, 2011.

Lango is a chameleon kept in a glass box. He often fantasizes that he is a great hero. Suddenly, it traveled from contemporary American society to an old western frontier town. The town is called Det. (Dirt, has a dirty meaning)

Because he accidentally ended the life of an eagle right from the start, Lango inexplicably became the hero of the town. The people of the town welcomed it very much, and it was happy to become the savior of these poor town residents-all desert animals. Because Lango often fancied himself a hero, he happily accepted the appointment of the town mayor, and he became the Sheriff of Det Town. From then on, Lango began patrolling the town every day. Lango likes this life of being a "hero" and a "good guy". But what it doesn't know is that in Det Town, "good guys" mean dead. At the end of the town, there is a cemetery dedicated to "good people." However, these did not become obstacles to Organization Lango's progress. On the contrary, it became more and more courageous to lead the people of the town to fight for their own interests.

In the end, the ultimate big bad guy appeared - a cobra, and Lango also found himself facing the most severe challenge ever. Can it escape unscathed? Can it become the hero it imagined? ◎Director Gore Verbinski

◎Violin's movie for children

After filming a series of "Pirates of the Caribbean", he switched his career from advertising to a director Gore Verbinski himself said he wanted to "take a break." He is planning to shoot a cartoon on a smaller scale "so that I can refresh myself." And both he and Depp seemed very excited about making a movie for children.

For his first film with children as the main audience, Verbinski said: "It is not easy to take into account the appetites of children of different ages and also take care of adults. Things. If you are a 9-year-old kid, you will think it is funny to flatten people with a frying pan; if you are 60 years old, maybe I will tell you some of Sartre's famous aphorisms, and you will laugh heartily. So the strategy I used in the film was to put it all in. People of all ages should be able to find their own laughs in the film. The movies that Disney made in the past were more serious than the cartoons now. , the theme is more adult, and children can accept, understand, and digest it, so there is no problem in understanding this animation for children."

Verbinski. Say, Johnny Depp plays a chameleon with an identity crisis. He thinks he's a hero, but that leads him into a crazy situation where he ends up having to learn the difference between pretending to be a hero and how people really see you... He's a modern man thrown into a Western. He is a fish out of water, an actor looking for an audience. Regarding the genre of the film, Verbinski said, "The concept of the story originally started as 'create a western set in the desert,' with snakes, turtles, lizards, everything. It's an open structure, where you go." Look is the only rule. I approached Depp about voicing this character during "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", because at that time the appearance of the protagonist Rango had been released, and we all felt that Depp was good at both appearance and appearance. It feels very much like a lizard... A year later we showed him the complete script and he liked it very much." Johnny Depp, who voiced Lango in the film, said. It was also very fun to shoot a cartoon for children. Depp said: "Children are the purest kind of audience. Whatever characters they say they like, they really like them. Moreover, they have an inexplicable love and acceptance of cartoons. For example, my daughter probably Four years old. She can watch cartoons every day, from morning to night. If it can be recognized by children, it will be the greatest compliment to me, because children’s evaluation of things comes from the heart and is not artificial. . I trust children more than I trust adults. For me, this is the most important role I have played in Captain Jack Sparrow.”

Industrial Light & Magic’s animated debut

< p>Industrial Light and Magic, founded by George Lucas in 1975, is one of the top special effects production companies on the planet. This company has created countless classic shots with moderate film technology, and at the same time, it has also used technology to greatly advance the development of film art. But it is indeed very interesting that such a high-end special effects company chose to use a cartoon as its film debut.

The film director Verbinski said: "Industrial Light and Magic never planned to shoot any cartoons, nor did it ever think about shooting its own movies. The staff in the company knew how to shoot a cartoon Filming is an adventure, and I have never shot cartoons before, but what both of us know is that if we can shoot cartoons here, we will definitely have our own advantages and strengths, such as advanced expression capture systems, advanced modeling levels and... Recording acquisition system. In fact, what they lack is a script and a director. Now, if someone is willing to film here, the staff of Industrial Light and Magic are happy to accept it. Those of us who have no experience in animation. The film will definitely be more unique, and it will definitely be a little different from mainstream cartoons.

And this difference is precisely the advantage we pursue. ”

However, Verbinski greatly miscalculated the difficulty of shooting a cartoon. In his opinion, shooting a cartoon should be easier than shooting "Pirates of the Caribbean". He never thought He regarded this animation as part of his career. But it was this attitude of underestimating the enemy that caused Verbinski to suffer a lot. He said: "The things that need to be taken care of and considered when making cartoons are nothing like filming. There are few live-action movies. When making live-action movies, I just need to manage each department, but when making animated films, I have to participate in every aspect. Especially in the post-production period, those things are no less complicated than shooting a live-action movie. All the things in my head made me feel dizzy because of my busy schedule. Basically everything can go wrong, and making a cartoon is not an orderly thing at all. Major plot changes can be made even a day before release. ”

Big name dubbing cast

Today’s cartoons are paying more and more attention to the dubbing cast, because in addition to the story of the animation, this is another aspect that can attract people to spend money to watch the movie in the cinema. An "incentive"; moreover, big-name stars can also increase the momentum of the red carpet and the attention of the media. Behind all this, if a cartoon does not have the dubbing of big-name actors, it will basically have no hope of box office. Penski's animation has assembled a luxurious team such as Johnny Depp, "Little Miss Sunshine" Abigail Breslin, and veteran British actor Bill Nighy.

Talk. When it comes to dubbing animations, the experienced Depp said: "Dubbing animations can actually be seen as a way of adjustment. When I feel lazy, I sit in front of the microphone, read out the lines, and the dubbing work is completed. However, Verbinski did not let me complete so much work in this idle way. He used a capture system, which meant that I had to perform the lizard in front of the camera. And he insisted that we perform scenes from the film, so we had to set up a simple stage in a house converted into a recording studio to perform. ”

If you are familiar with Depp, you will understand that Depp’s voice and accent are changeable and constantly changing. So in this cartoon, Rango’s How was the voice determined? Depp said: "Verbinski and I had a lot of discussions about the voice and the character. We experimented with older, middle-aged and younger voices to see if it would suit the character of Chameleon. In fact, in cartoons, a character's voice is its soul. If there is no voice, the character will be boring. Verbinski wanted me to have a nervous, nervous voice in the film. Because according to him, this is a lizard with an identity crisis that has come to a new environment. What it needs to do is to find and discover itself. Therefore, I would often raise my voice to appear as if I was in danger. In fact, this danger comes from Lango's heart. ""Rango" is the first animated film produced by Industrial Light and Magic.
