Until the dawn director was forced to persuade colleagues to try the special effects inside the camera

Since the appearance of CGI, the SCI-Fi, Fantasy and Horror Films have enjoyed, in particular-huge jumping forward in terms of their ability to photograph all kinds of fictional places and creatures. To be clear, the work that goes to create everything from “The Kingdom of the Planet of the Monkey” to “Sandy Dunes: Part Two” Great, whether the majority of work is done with computers or not. Certainly true that R.It is an actual work that digital artists, animation, perspectives, and the like, are difficult to understand in terms of secularism; You only need to look at the comments section of any specific trailer for a coming governorate, and you will see a form of feelings “CGI looks very bad”, published by someone who assumes that these effects are more than a few clicks of mouse and key strikes. One of the defects of the film -based film industry is that work discussions and work descriptions are still very unique to the average person.

However, there is another major drawback to the collective migration of digital effects is that the practice, which is generally seen as a procedure to save costs by the producers (whether it is true or not, and Whether digital artists are paid fairlyIt has led to a semi -adolescence of old school methods of visual effects. The aspects of the world of influences that are used to be everywhere, such as un shuthable paintings and making miniature models, have become a death.

Fortunately, one of the aspects that managed to survive is the art of special effects makeup, especially when it comes to Gore Gags in horror movies. Although it is possible to enhance the killing of digital effects, the visceral effect of the physical thing in the camera cannot deny the audience, and many of the horror movie makers (not to mention the fans) sang from the practical effects for decades. However, the practical Blood and Gore are only part of the exit horror tool box, and many other tools have not been used for years. Fortunately, David F. Sandberg, Director This month Spook-A-Blast “until dawn”, Make an effort to include a number of special effects in the camera in the movie, and as he told me in an interview with him recently, it requires a little explanation in order to persuade his colleagues that these techniques were the best way to go.

One of the prominent aspects of the movie “Until Fajr” is that, although it is nominal modification Video game with the same name from 2015Sandberg, along with the book Gary Dobirman and Blair Bater, Choose not to reshape the game for the big screen. Part of the reason for this is how the cinematic video game was already, which includes shows that were strengthened for actors such as Hayden Panettiere and Rami Malek. In addition, the branching narrative paths of the game means that a new edition of it will require them to choose a pre -specific path, which risk fans who play the game differently. Thus, the game’s adaptation was a mobile way to go. Both the game and the film include a sub -text to ask the viewer about what they might do if it was stuck in one of the many horror movie scenarios; The film treats this more disturbing.

The largest clouds of Sandberg for the film that goes beyond this sub -text is the fact that its unique structure and its inclusion of many monsters and sub -species will allow it to review the horror fan muscles in a way that was not before. It also explains during our interview:

“In this movie, one of the things (I enjoyed) was in particular an opportunity to get out of the effects and practical monsters and all these things that I wanted to do forever, because even in previous horror movies, I had made them somewhat and tried all these things and I was not trying them in the teeth, or not working on it, or I had not dealt with them.

As a horror fan, Sandberg saw “until dawn” like being a child in a sweets store, and this abundance of this type and empty creative verification that he was enjoying in the movie certainly could be seen in the movie itself.

“Until Fajr” is far from the only evidence of Sandberg’s love for filmmaking. During his career, the director took it upon him to produce A series of educational videos and behind the scenes Which separates the personal process and the various techniques and techniques that he loves to use. He even made such a video about “until dawn” before release.

Entitled “FX practical approach in Till Dawn”, short details about many effect techniques inside the camera and tricks that it uses in the movie. Many of these masks decrease to the intelligence of pure and know -how, and hardly cost anything to withdraw. Despite her relative license, Sandberg appears to have been doing a little effort to persuade the visual influence team and studio to use these technologies, if not for another reason except such things is not usually done this way these days. As Sandberg explained:

“I know that there are some things that you go through before production, especially when we talk to a VFX seller and with people here in Sony, it was so,” Well, of course this would be visually impressive “, and you had to go like,” No, we can do this in this way. And “Well, this will be a visual effect. It is like, “No, I think we can do it this way.” So I mean, the approach was to try to take (effects) as much as possible, then our VFX still in our tool box if necessary.
