Chapter 241 Air combat special effects

Ronald hugged Diane sweetly. When he and Diane were together, he felt very relaxed. The two hugged each other and fell asleep deeply.

"Buzz..." Two Tomcats flew through the sky, and Ronald clearly felt that he was dreaming again.

An F-5s painted black with a clear five-pointed star on the wing appeared in the dream, and then with a buzz, another F-5s, also fake MiG-28, came in from an angle outside the camera.

, the two machines are side by side, giving people a silent sense of oppression.

The pilots of the enemy planes all wore oxygen masks and never showed their faces, giving people a powerful feeling.

"They have four, four...no, five." Iceman and Slider shouted on the F-14, and soon their wingmen Hollywood and Wolfman were shot down by missiles launched by MiGs.

"Let the Lone Ranger take off and go to the rescue."

This is the final air combat scene, the original director edited it really excitingly.

"Hmm..."

Diane was grabbed by Ronald's nervous hands and woke up. Seeing how much Ronald treasured her, she happily kissed him on the face again.

"Huh? It's daybreak?" Ronald felt that he had the best night's sleep last night, but it was a pity that he didn't finish watching the air combat footage.

But it doesn't matter. Peter Pettigrew came up with several good maneuvers. By combining dreams and his ideas, he should be able to achieve similar effects.

He left Diane in the hotel to prepare for the audition while he went to the Navy base.

Looking at the actor who plays the Lone Ranger's temporary radar officer, Tim Robbins, who is nearly two meters tall, no matter how he adjusts his body, the canopy can't be pulled up.

Ronald sweated and said, "If that doesn't work, just shoot all his shots on the ground."

Fortunately, Cameron had been asked to build a ground-level cockpit in advance. Aerial photography often caused problems. Robbins was too tall and couldn't sit in it. Barry Tubb's face turned pale with fright, and there was no lens to use. Let alone

There are people like Val Kilmer who don't even dare to get on a plane.

"Never do airplane scenes again," Ronald scolded.

Large machinery is very difficult to maintain and problems often occur. It can be regarded as the second most difficult vehicle to film in movies after trains.

Cameron's model has been approved by the producer, and the real filming equipment is being debugged. A huge circular track has been erected in a huge studio, and a front-end projection device is placed next to it.

The one-to-one simulated F-14A cockpit was placed on a circular track. With a gentle push by hand, it swayed from side to side like a cradle on the track.

"Very good, both sides can be done at the same time. Let Tim Robbins try it first."

Tim Robbins put on his flight suit, put on his oxygen mask, and got into the special effects cockpit. The cockpit was specially enlarged for him to accommodate his giant body.

"Let's do a test shoot."

"Are you crazy? Lone Ranger, go back and help Iceman!"

Robbins is a young actor, and he delivered the lines of the final air battle with precision.

"I don't feel right now. I can't enter the battlefield." Tom Cruise was acting beside him.

The front-end projector illuminated the images of the blue sky and sea captured in the air onto the screen behind the fake cockpit. Another small projector captured the reflection of the cockpit on the F-14A Tomcat, which illuminated the glass of the fake cockpit cover.

superior.

"cut!"

"I want to try it too!" Cruise became interested and sat in the fake cockpit to try out the circular track.

"You can say whatever you want, I didn't prepare your play today." Ronald said, this time he wanted to test the effect of Cameron's toy.

"Ronald, you can also take a jet pilot's license with me in the future, and we can fly in the sky together."

"Then you have to act well. Jets are very expensive, so I rely on you to help me make money."

"Hahaha, bring me my orange juice."

Cruise took off his oxygen mask and took a sip.

"Tower, tower, request for clearance." Cruise started talking nonsense again.

"Cut", Ronald saw that the small plate of film was almost finished shooting, so he quickly stopped and sent it to be developed and printed.



The fake cockpit on the ground worked well, and filming of Val Kilmer's scenes could begin. Ronald handed over this part of the character to the second camera crew and let the second crew director direct it, and he ran back to the Miramar Air Force

Base, personally grasp the actual shooting part.

This part is still the most realistic and shocking image. He boasted in front of Paramount President Mancuso that he wanted the audience to see an unprecedented spectacle. He relied on these scattered aerial combat shots. How to edit them into one

Reasonable story.

"Very well, let's keep this distance. I want a relatively still shot of the fighter behind."

Ronald watched the filming from the ground and picked up the radio to give the order.

An F-14A flew towards the base from the sea. In the low-altitude and high-humidity environment, the vortex formed on the wings pulled out two very beautiful white clouds, wrapping the fighter jet.

"This shot is worth a million dollars, well done." Ronald praised the stunt plane with the camera in front of him over the radio.

"Oklahoma..." The consultant next to him, Pettigrew, automatically answered.

"It looks so good. People will think it's a sonic cloud that breaks the sound barrier."

Pettigrew shook his head, these Hollywood people want to look good in everything.

A true sonic cloud is a type of cloud and mist produced when an aircraft breaks the speed of sound, accompanied by a very loud explosion.

The speed is too fast, so it is difficult to shoot good-looking shots in the air. Director Ronald actually used this high-humidity weather to replace the vortex that the wings will pull up when flying at low speed over the sea. However, in the slow-speed vortex,

The clouds of condensed water vapor are indeed very beautiful.

"This is an aerial scissors tactic. Five MiG-28s are chasing the two F-14As in front. The easiest way to catch them is for the predators to do a cross pursuit, just like a pair of big scissors, scissoring

Prey ahead.”

Pete Pettigrew took two model fighter jets and made a cross gesture.

"In this way, there will always be an aircraft that can catch the weak point of the prey in front, and we can lock on and fire."

"Very good, let's film according to this."

"Oklahoma moms and dads are going to love this, especially this cross-cutting scissor of multiple planes. Looking back from the plane in front, it's like...how to describe it, it's like you see four or five planes...

It's like it's spinning around your butt, it's very spectacular."

"Very good, it seems that Peter can find a job in Hollywood in the future."

"God bless me, I hope I don't get scolded to death by my old colleagues."

A special reconnaissance camera gun was installed on the back of an F-14A, and then a movie camera and film box were added after modification.

"It's up to you, remember to fly more smoothly." Pettigrew gave this mission to the bozo with the best flying skills.

"Remember to do a few rolls, the audience loves to see that."

"Oh!" Pettigrew closed his eyes. What kind of request is this?

The F-14a is a twin-engine heavy fighter. When rolling, the pointing stability of the nose is not as good as that of the single-engine F-5s. It has to roll and be stable at the same time, which is a great test for the pilot's skills.

"No problem, just look at mine."

Bozo knew that his days of flying fighter jets in the navy were numbered. In the future, he would not have the chance to do such fancy work if he went to fly passenger planes in civil aviation, or even more boring cargo planes. He agreed immediately.

"Bingo!"

After seeing the film that Bozo brought and the result after printing, Ronald and Pettigrew had nothing to say. Bozo flew so beautifully, rolled very steadily, and coupled with the distortion of the wide-angle lens, four or five "

"Enemy plane" was circling behind and chasing the F-14a Tomcat, and a kind of unparalleled heroic temperament rushed towards him.

"Very good, very good. This is the spectacle that the audience wants to see." Ronald thought proudly that the shot he shot should be even more spectacular than the original version.

"Hey, that's it for today. Contact the Navy to see when the missile can be officially approved for launch."

Ronald was still thinking about the actual shots of the two air-to-air missiles promised by the Navy.

Today, Cameron and Gale will hold a small wedding in the city hall, inviting only a few friends of both parties.

Ronald rushed back to the hotel to attend the meeting with Diane.

"Congratulations!" Ronald was both a friend of the man and a friend of the woman. He hugged Cameron and Gail, who was wearing a bridal veil, in turn and gave them gifts.

"This is a delivery coupon for a Honda Accord. Gail needs to run frequently and needs a safer car." Ronald gave Gail a gift.

In "Terminator", the couple gave up most of their income in order to become directors and producers. The cost of the special effects equipment installed for "Top Gun" last time was still used to maintain daily expenses, so

Ronald offered a cheap and safe Japanese car for their convenience.

"Don't I have a gift?" Cameron came over and hugged Ronald.

"I attended as the representative of the bride, Jim. I also sat on the bride's side at the dinner party. Besides, Gail is the one who manages the money in your family." Ronald joked, the husband is the director and the wife is the director.

Producer is the division of labor between two people.

"Congratulations," a man with a German accent and another tall, beautiful girl also came over to congratulate.

"Hello, Mr. Schwarzenegger." Ronald shook hands with him.

"Hello, Ronald. This is Brigitte."

"This is Diane."

The two introduced their female companions to each other.

Brigitte Nielsen is a Danish model. She is six feet tall and matches Schwarzenegger, the Austrian bodybuilding champion.

The two of them met while filming "The Queen's Excalibur" and they were having a heated relationship.

"Oh, you are so strong, you are even stronger than what we saw on TV." Diane couldn't help but admired when she saw this giant, "You are much stronger than Stallone."

"Ouch", Schwarzenegger made a muscle-flexing pose.

"Any enemy of Stallone is my friend." Schwarzenegger said bluntly. Now he and Stallone are the biggest competitors.

"Then we have a lot in common." Ronald laughed. He and Stallone didn't have a good relationship either.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with the authority conferred by the California State Government, and under the witness of Mr. Roger Coleman, I declare that James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd are married.

Couple."

The wedding hosted by government officials was relatively simple, and Cameron and Gale became husband and wife immediately.

Ronald and Diane also picked up fireworks and launched them at them.

"In the end, Gale's parents still didn't come." Ronald couldn't help but sigh. Gale would feel very lonely. This is why Ronald came to the wedding to make it as lively as possible.

"It's time for us to celebrate."

Ronald gave Bud a signal, and he went to call the rented limousine, and the couple and guests were going to the restaurant for dinner."

"Thank you." Gale came over and thanked Ronald specifically. Roger Coleman was like his father, and Ronald was like his brother. This kind of wedding can also make up for some regrets.

"Take it," Ronald saw the opportunity and handed Cameron a delivery coupon for a modified motorcycle. It was the latest Harley motorcycle. The most famous local modification shop was replacing parts that were prone to problems.

into more durable Japanese goods.

Nowadays, many Harley enthusiasts have begun to do this. After all, Harleys, which often lie down, are beautiful, but very impractical.

"I just said, you won't forget my share."
