Although several young actors found it easy to find a consensus from their characters, and then successfully embodied the flat image in the novel on the big screen in a more three-dimensional way, but because the film covers a considerable amount of digital Special effects, so they still need to find some kind of performance balance, and effectively deal with some scenes that have to be synthesized in the later stage. Fortunately, they got help from the open-minded director Chris Columbus in this process, making it easy for them to change their identities in different scenes. Brandon T. Jackson said: "For For an actor, a stunt movie that uses a lot of CGI like "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" is itself an experience that stimulates imagination infinitely. Especially the director you work with is Columbus, who is that A filmmaker who likes to constantly guide your mindset, he always tells us,'There is nothing but unexpected, there is nothing impossible.' He is not the kind of authoritarian and arbitrary director, he likes to listen to the suggestions of actors or other staff "Jack Abel continued: "When the staff told me that these pictures will look more spectacular after post-processing, I was very excited. I can't wait to see how the finished part will be What kind of pattern is present. There is a part of the film that requires me to scream with'Lightning', and they keep saying to me,'You need to dive into the water, this looks great.'" Alexandre La Daddario obviously didn’t think so. She said: “I’m not as optimistic as the boys like Jackson and Abel. I think they must be sitting in the editing room, doing post work and laughing loudly there. US."
For Logan Lerman, who also needs to carry a large number of special effects scenes, the so-called balance is to find a more comfortable and natural way of performing. It's easy to solve, especially when I feel embarrassed or not going well. Generally speaking, if I feel too stressed or very depressed, I will run out and scream frantically between shooting, until I call myself. In fact, in my opinion, the performance in front of the green screen is not that scary, as long as you find the right way, it will be easier than the real scene, because you can rely solely on Interpretation by imagination, you can not only create a virtual character, but also communicate effectively with the visual effects artists. With their help, you can achieve the most perfect state as much as possible and meet the requirements of Chris Columbus. "Jack Abel agreed, and he admitted: "There is no doubt that at this stage, the biggest problem you encounter is the limitation of your imagination. I think, for such a For a magical work that combines modern conflicts and unforgettable CGI special effects, "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" is bound to meet the needs of audiences of all ages, and it is also filled with a very inspirational The underlying theme of the role-your greatest weakness, is likely to become your most powerful weapon."
Perhaps it is precisely because "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" chose to place the background of the story in a modern environment that makes it compatible with "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "Harry Potter" (Harry Potter) There is a clear difference. Logan Leman said: "The film deals with problems that will be encountered in adolescence, which everyone may experience as they grow up. We will learn how to solve them. They." Brandon T. Jackson added: "If you really like "Harry Potter", you can't miss this movie, because here are the best things Chris Columbus brings to you. The basic guarantee. And the most important thing is that even if he has similar film material in his hands, it can bring you a completely different movie-watching experience. Few filmmakers can do this now." Jack · Abel continued: "I believe that many people come under the name of Columbus, including us, he is also the main reason why we are willing to join the film-he previously directed "Harry Potter and the Magic "Stone" (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) are really impressive. I believe that no one is more suitable to direct this kind of adaptation than him. , We naturally have no reason to refuse. Moreover, Columbus is the kind of person who is particularly unwilling to repeat himself. I believe that the reason why he chose this film must have found a completely different entry point from it, because he He is such a talented filmmaker who is always trying and looking for some new movie experiences. I think he has got what he wants with "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief"."
In addition to amazing digital special effects, "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" also left a deep impression on makeup and styling, especially the Gorgon Medusa played by Uma Thurman. An evil magic is revealed everywhere, Thurman said: "Although my character accounts for relatively small points, I really like my'hair'. Every time before shooting, this part of makeup will be spent. I have been for a long time, but if you want them to really slide like snakes, you have to wait until after the post-processing, it is a masterpiece of special effects masters."
