The opening scene of the movie is exciting.
And the brutal war after the title ends is equally shocking.
In order to shoot the scene of the battle between the King's army and the modern army, Nanaya spent a huge price.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the scene with the highest single-frame cost in the entire movie FZ.
Under the gaze of all the spectators, the Macedonian soldiers rushed to the front of the tank and stabbed directly at the tank armor with their spears.
If it were any other movie, the audience would definitely find this scene ridiculous.
They would even label it as an anti-Japanese drama or a bandit account like an anti-German hero.
But this scene appearing in Fate doesn't seem strange at all.
Because these ancient soldiers holding spears are all servants, and servants can do whatever they want.
A Macedonian soldier jumped high and thrust his spear into the barrel of a tank that was about to fire.
Before the barrel could completely accommodate the huge gun head, the whole thing exploded with a loud bang!
The shell exploded.
The flames and blast overturned the tank.
The heavy tank armor turned into pieces, and even drove the surrounding soldiers into the air.
At the same time, the camera takes the audience's eyes and makes a big circle around the battlefield around the explosion site.
Nanaya uses bullet-time shots similar to those in The Matrix, allowing the audience to clearly see the metal chips and the flight paths of the characters caused by the explosion.
Using this as a connecting point, the audience can appreciate the battle situation around the battlefield.
Everyone could clearly see that the Macedonian soldiers ignored the bullets fired at them and stabbed their spears into the bodies of the soldiers who fired the shots.
The audience witnessed the various bursts of flames and air waves on the battlefield, watched as various debris hit the surrounding modern military equipment and eventually defeated the modern legion.
A spectacular scene of various weapons and troops flying in the sky was presented to the audience.
Nanaya used a 360-degree surround lens to show every detail of the battlefield like a Gundam model CG decomposition diagram.
The analysis of the characters in motion and stillness is presented in an accurate and gorgeous way.
This makes the shot still yet dynamic at the same time.
Of course, this camera technique was not original to Nanaya.
When using shots of Macedonian warriors fighting, Nanaya referred to various ancient war movies.
Among them, "300 Spartans" is the one that Nanaya borrowed the most from.
After all, when those men in red shorts were fighting against the Persian army, they really looked like they had activated their unparalleled skills.
This is also why many people complain that "300 Spartans" is not a costume drama at all, but a real superhero movie.
Although Zack Snyder's storytelling level as a director needs to be improved.
But no matter how much people criticize Zack, they cannot deny the beauty of his pictures and composition.
We should naturally learn from others' excellent things. After all, this kind of slow-motion shot can greatly enhance the epic feeling of the picture.
Of course, Nanaya didn't copy it exactly.
In this set of shots, Nanaya still added a lot of his own things.
For example, the depiction of sharp objects in the lens makes the picture more three-dimensional, and the IMAX 3D version appears more three-dimensional.
Also, in the composition of character movements, Nanaya pays more attention to the collision of power than the beauty of the characters.
In order to pave the way for future Type-Moon works, Nanaya needs to establish the concept of Servant for the audience.
A small Macedonian soldier is more powerful than Captain America.
Then, how powerful will those great heroes who once went down in history be?
Nanaya hopes that this idea can be firmly remembered by everyone who watches this movie.
Judging from the results, Nanaya was very successful.
All the audience in the theater who enjoyed this magnificent and exciting visual impact were stunned.
"This is simply, this is simply..."
William couldn't find the right words to describe it. The theater, which had gradually become quiet as the movie started, became messy again.
"Oh! So cool!!"
"Long live Alexander the Great!!"
There were a few audience members who couldn't control their excitement and were screaming.
But it quickly gained recognition from many people.
After all, under the pressure of such a suffocating picture, the audience needs to find a way to vent their extremely excited emotions.
The subsequent plot makes the audience see what it means to be out of control.
Several fighter planes flew over the desert and began a ruthless carpet bombing of the Macedonian soldiers.
Although these bombings did not pose much danger to the Macedonian soldiers, they had no wings and had no good way to deal with these fighter jets at high altitudes.
Several Macedonian soldiers jumped up and threw their spears, trying to hit the fighters in this way.
But the fighter jet, which was flying at high speed all the time, was far more flexible than they imagined.
Although a few planes were shot down, the overall efficiency was not high.
So Iskandar, who had been sitting in the rear commanding the battle, moved.
He drove his tank into the sky and started a chase with the fighter planes.
Coincidentally, when Iskandar was fighting with the fighter plane inside his own barrier.
Outside, Gilgamesh also drove the Ark to fight with Lancelot on the battlefield.
Green and red trails streaked across the sky, as the treasures and the fighter machine guns fought back and forth in the air.
Different from the slow motion on the battlefield just now, Nanaya uses fast shots here to bring a different kind of visual stimulation to the audience.
Many viewers opened their mouths and widened their eyes, afraid that they would miss a frame of the shot.
This fight scene is simply indescribable!
"It's like riding a roller coaster."
William waved his little fist vigorously.
"yes."
William's evaluation was recognized by his partners.
"I'm a little envious of those newcomers." Turan commented, leaning his head, "I wonder if I'll have the chance to work with Nanaya in the future."
When the battle situation on the screen eased a little, the audience began to breathe a sigh of relief.
Many people in the theater had ruddy complexions. The continuous visual stimulation just now gave them a kind of [beep!]-like pleasure.
After savoring it carefully, I still enjoy the aftertaste.
"Young people today are really amazing."
Spielberg leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly.
"Using simple audio-visual bombardment, people can be so nervous that they can't breathe."
George Lucas also nodded slightly: "This approach is simple and crude, but also very effective."
Spielberg said sourly: "This is not due to his directorial ability, but the credit of the modern film industry."
In the past, if a director wanted to make the audience nervous and excited,
It often requires the use of various lenses to create the atmosphere, so these scenes usually only exist in thrillers or horror films.
Although action movies can make people feel excited, they rarely give people a sense of tension and excitement.
The reason why Nanaya was able to do it this time was largely as Spielberg said.
He achieved this effect with the help of technology from the modern film industry.
Nanaya used realistic CG special effects and three-dimensional 3D images to make the audience feel the authenticity.
Then IMAX's 12.0 channels are used to give the audience a full range of auditory stimulation.
In this way, the audience will naturally have an immersive feeling, as if they were at the battle scene.
This creates a sense of tension that is different from traditional thriller movies.
It can be said that without the help of the modern film industry, Nanaya would not have been able to do it.
The same scene 20 years ago...
No,
Just push forward 10 years.
If it was produced using computer technology from 10 years ago, it would definitely not be possible to achieve the amazing effects that the audiences can achieve today.
But the audience doesn't care how what they see is made, they only care about whether the movie is exciting.
"It's really cool!"
Fate's audience is obviously mainly teenagers.
Such an eye-catching audio-visual experience naturally fits their desire for coolness.
"It seems like I really need to learn more about 3D special effects."
Spielberg frowned.
Such a violent film style was not to his taste.
Moreover, the scene just now was strongly suspected of showing off technical techniques.
This is inconsistent with Old Spiel's production concept of integrating technology and story.
But listening to the cheers of coolness coming from all over the theater, even if it was not to his taste, Old Si knew he needed to try it.
The reason is simple: these things appeal to teenage audiences.
The young audience group under the age of 25 will always be the main consumer group in the film market.
If the film market is compared to a basketball game, then the young audience group under the age of 25 is the rebound.
If we can get their recognition and support, we can easily dominate the commercial film market.
Although all kinds of thoughts flashed through Spielberg's mind as he sat in the theater.
But this is a movie theater after all, not your own DVD player.
The plot of the movie still proceeds according to the original content.
After the excitement, what follows is the end of the war.
Through the communication between Kiritsugu Emiya and others, it was finally decided that Saber would kill Caster.
After all, only the holy sword that brings the glory of victory can eliminate all the sea monsters summoned by Caster at once.
In this plot narrative, Nanaya cleverly used the method of accumulating emotions.
The audience already knew from Kiritsugu's phone call that Saber would release the holy sword.
Fate fans naturally know what this means, and seeing that golden glow on the screen is also what they look forward to.
But Nanaya deliberately delayed a little.
While talking on the phone, Diarmuid broke the yellow gun, and then Artoria stood on the water.
After hesitating for nearly 5 minutes, Saber finally raised the knight sword with both hands.
At this moment, the audience's appetite has been raised to the highest point.
"Ex——calibur!!!"
Artoria shouted out the real name of her weapon.
The magic power accumulated in the Knight King's body transformed into golden light.
As the master swung the sword downward, the light emanated directly from the blade.
After materializing, the huge amount of magic power destroyed all obstacles in its way with unstoppable force - the tentacle sea monster and the Caster who summoned it.
