Nick Gillard, the stunt coordinator who continues to lead the film, has designed a different action style for each Jedi Knight, even meticulous with extras. In the preparatory stage, Girard visited 20 swordsmanship schools and fight clubs, and he interviewed more than 500 swordsmanship masters in order to recruit candidates to play Jedi. "I heard that a group of people were rejected from international competitions because their tricks were too fierce. I think they are very suitable to play Jedi in the film." So, in Byron Bay, Australia, Gillard found A worldly expert living in the forest.
Although Christensen has never appeared in an action movie, he is an athlete who is good at tennis and hockey. In order to become a master of lightsaber, Christensen has to train with Girard every day. 3. In 4 hours, bruises and bruises are naturally inevitable.
In order to make the film present an unprecedented new look, art director Gavin Barquette and conceptual design director Doug Chiang (Doug Chiang) began to design a series of landscapes in the film from the early stage of preparation. The planet Camino in the outer galaxy is a novel feature in this film. It is a sinister planet full of turbulent oceans and endless storms. In addition, the cool aircraft in this film are also eye-catching. The Jedi starfighter born out of the sky will remind people of the triangular interstellar destroyer in the Star Wars trilogy, which is evolving from the Jedi fighters.
The preview team responsible for the production of the dynamic plot series also plays a key role in the filming. They need to complete more than 4000 shots of the preview screen. The director, actors, editors and effect artists must understand the final scene of each scene based on this. scene. Through low-resolution computer graphics, the technicians of the preview team even showed some of the most spectacular action and special effects scenes.
Lucas has always had a special liking for digital technology. He was the first to use a computer system for editing sound effects and pictures as early as 20 years ago. In 1996, Sony had promised to producer Macallan to develop a 24-frame high-definition progressive scan camera and a corresponding 24-frame post-production system. Panavision also began to develop a new lens that could adapt to digital movie shooting. "Attack of the Clones" was launched in June 2000, and this film became the first mainstream movie shot with a high-definition 24-frame digital camera. The film’s director of photography, David Tattersall, once experimented with a digital camera in "The Phantom Crisis" with Lucas, but the technology at the time was not enough to shoot the entire film. In "Attack of the Clones", the development of mature digital technology allowed the two to finally get what they wanted.
The digital camera also fully shortens the filming cycle of the film. Without affecting the normal progress, as long as Lucas calls to stop, he can immediately adjust and edit the scene that has just been filmed, thus completing the post-production work ahead of schedule. The digital format also makes lens construction more flexible than ever before. Editors and Lucas can freely change or move the scenery, characters and lighting. In addition, it is no longer necessary to scan the visual effects lens into the computer, and then convert it back to film after processing. In Lucas's view, high-definition digital cameras are just evolution, not revolution.
In 1975, in order to present the visual effects of Star Wars movies on the big screen, Lucas established the Industrial Light and Magic Company to introduce computer technology into the film industry and special effects fields. Since then, Industrial Light & Magic has won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects and Science and Technology Achievement Award 16 times. More than 20 years later, Lucas once again made a major breakthrough with the "digital location" in "The Phantom Crisis". In addition to the background, Lucas also used the computer to generate some sets, machines and characters, and the computer special effects screens reached nearly 2000, accounting for 95% of the entire film. In the creation of "Attack of the Clones", Lucas and his Industrial Light & Magic are not willing to settle for the status quo, but spare no effort to develop and innovate.
