This shooting mainly uses two Alexa mini cameras, and sometimes two Alexa cameras are added to the war scene. In the pre-testing phase of the project, I and the camera crew did the QTake replay synthesis process and the on-site editing process together.

Because this movie contains a large part of the shooting of war scenes, there will be many shooting methods such as hand-held and shoulder-mounted sports lenses during the shooting, so wireless transmission of live signals is essential. The early stage focused on testing the wireless image transmission's support for the metadata required by QTake. Regardless of whether the signal transmission is wired or wireless, the QTake system can completely read the time code, file name, volume number and other metadata of the camera material, and the camera's power on and off can trigger QTake to record and stop simultaneously. , To achieve fully synchronized automatic recording. This laid a solid foundation for the bottoming work of subsequent editing.

The traditional group editing is mostly a proxy file that uses a camera to record the material. This process is not a real live editing in the strict sense. Because the material recorded by the camera needs a work cycle from recording to backup transcoding, and then to the editor, which can take a few hours or even half a day at the earliest, and it is impossible to achieve real-time editing on site. And this time using QTaThe ke system can provide the on-site editors with the snippets that have just been shot in real time. Each time one is taken, the on-site editor can start editing one. The editor’s timeline material is fully synchronized with the material shot on site. The live editing of

uses Apple's FCPX software. The material in Apple Proress Proxy format recorded by the QTake system can be imported into FCPX software very smoothly and edited smoothly.

At the shooting site, the material files are shared between the QTake system and the on-site editing. Every time the camera finishes shooting a piece of material, the on-site editor can get the proxy file recorded by QTake and start editing immediately. Every time a scene is filmed, the director and other main creative staff can see the rough cut picture effect here to ensure that no shots are missed, which may lead to regrets or make up afterwards. In addition, QTake's support for metadata allows on-site editors to easily pull back the original material, which greatly improves the efficiency of the post process. The

QTake system is the center of the live signal. When the scene is at most, the signals from four cameras are distributed to all the monitors and 16 wireless iPad/iPhone clients at the same time. The QTake wireless monitoring system supports simultaneous monitoring of 16 clients (MacBookPro, iPad, iPhone). Basically, all parts on the scene can be monitored separately at the same time: .

will not be the same as in the past, everyone is watching in front of the monitor , and it is not necessary to run around on the spot. After a live shot, the actor can watch the replay directly on his iPad. Sometimes the director will watch the replay with the actors on the scene and talk to the actors at the same time. The communication on the shooting scene is easy and efficient. The

QTake system saves all the shooting materials of the project with powerful management functions. According to the time of the script, each shot of each camera is classified according to Scene, Shot, and Take. At the same time, each file is also accompanied by metadata information such as file name and time code. OK bars, custom annotations, etc. can also be added, and all can be passed to the post-production link through XML, EDL, ALE, etc., and quickly adjusted on site. It’s very easy to look at the shots taken before. Every day I finish shooting, and I will publish a report on the shots taken on that day in QTake.

In this shooting, there are many visual effect composite shots, and the visual effects supervisor will want to see the rough composite effect for the first time on site. At this time, the live real-time synthesis function of the QTake system comes into play. Whether it’s cutting out the green background or multi-picture composition or assisting the camera crew to perform accurate camera position restoration, the QTake system can be completed quickly and in real time. The visual effects supervisor and director can see the composition for the first time on site. the result of.

63 days of shooting, my QTake team once again successfully completed the task, I am very honored to participate in such a meaningful film, I am very much looking forward to the film’s official release on October 18, 2019, and I also hope that "For the National Anthem" box office big sale.
