Another highlight in "The Matrix 2: Reloading" is a 14-minute highway chase scene, because all the scenes must be shot in real life, and a slight mistake may lead to the tragedy of casualties of stunt personnel.
The crew decided to use the "visual preview" system to arrange the most complicated car chase in film history. "Visual preview" is to simulate an actual scene on the computer, and then experiment with the camera position and angle in it, so as to find the best way, and finally use the animation to rehearse to see the after-effects and make adjustments accordingly.
For this thrilling scene, the crew began to prepare in 2001
In addition, the "visual preview" also helped the Wachowski brothers capture some unusual effects. In this scene, the camera often seems to be placed in an unprecedented position in previous car chases. The brothers often come up with ideas, and then use the "visual preview" to test the effect on the screen, and then use the simulation results to actually plan the shooting method in the real scene.
