Description: It turns out that the bicycle scene in the TV series was filmed like this! Let's take a look at Ruby Lin's behind-the-scenes footage, revealing the secret shooting skills, and opening your eyes!
Body:
Hello everyone, I'm Kobayashi, 28 years old, working in a film and television company as a post-editor. I've always been curious about film and television production since I was a child, and now being able to be a part of it is a dream fulfilled for me. However, even after working in the industry for a few years, I am still constantly amazed by the variety of shooting techniques. Today, I'm going to share with you an eye-opening behind-the-scenes story.
That day, I was working overtime at the company to edit a new drama when I suddenly received a video from a friend. In the video, Lin Xinru is filming the behind-the-scenes footage of the bicycle scene. To be honest, I was stunned! It turns out that the bicycle scene was filmed like this, which simply subverted my cognition!
Did you know? In many TV dramas, the shot of the actor riding a bicycle looks particularly natural and smooth, and I always thought that the actor was actually riding. However, this video completely broke my imagination.
In the video, Ruby Lin sits on a bicycle that is fixed to a platform. The platform is mobile, and there are a lot of staff members busy around. What surprised me the most was that the rear wheel of the bike was lifted up and didn't touch the ground at all! Ruby Lin sat on it, pedaling with both feet, making a cycling motion.
And that mobile platform was pushed by the staff. The camera is set up in front of the platform and moves with it. In this way, what you see in the camera is Ruby Lin leisurely riding a bicycle, and the background is constantly changing, which looks particularly real.
I was dumbfounded and thought, "Oh my God, that's the case!" I used to think that the actors were actually riding on the road. Fortunately, my illusions were completely shattered.
But if you think about it, this way of shooting does make sense. The first is the issue of safety, and it is inevitable that there will be risks in letting the actor ride on real roads. The second is the shooting effect, which allows for better control of speed and angle to ensure that every shot is perfect.
After watching this video, I suddenly had a new understanding of my work. As a post-editor, I usually only focus on the coherence and beauty of the images, but rarely think about how these images are made. This discovery made me realize that I still need to know more about all aspects of shooting so that I can make better editing.
I couldn't resist sending a message to my friend: "Wow, that's amazing! I didn't expect the bicycle scene to be filmed like this, and I was stunned! "
The friend replied, "Really? I was also super shocked when I saw it. But think about it, if you really let Ruby Lin ride on the road, how dangerous it is. And when shooting, you also have to consider the light, angle and whatever, so how convenient it is to shoot. "
I have to admit that my friend was right. Imagine that if you are really filming on the road, you have to close the road first, which is very troublesome. Besides, if the actor doesn't ride gracefully enough, or the expression is not in place, wouldn't it have to be reshot many times? In this way, the actor can focus on the performance and not have to worry about the problem of cycling, which is indeed a smart way.
This discovery made me start to re-examine the film and television works we usually see. I began to wonder how many other shots that we thought were simple but actually had complex shooting techniques behind them. For example, the scene of rain, shouldn't it be simulated by a sprinkler truck? Or could those thrilling-looking jumping shots actually be shot at a very low altitude?
The more I thought about it, the more interesting it became, and I decided to study these techniques. Maybe in the future, when I edit, I can make better results according to the way I shoot.
The next day at work, I shared my findings with my colleagues. I didn't expect everyone's reaction to be similar to mine, and they all thought it was very novel. Together, we discussed other possible "artifacts", such as "outdoor" scenes shot indoors, or special effects scenes made with green screen technology.
This experience has given me a deeper understanding and love for my work. I realized that film and television production is an art that requires constant learning and exploration. Behind every seemingly simple picture, there is the wisdom and sweat of countless staff.
So, the next time you see an actor in a TV show riding a bicycle gracefully, don't forget to think about the story behind it. Perhaps, the bike is actually not moving, and the flowing scenery may just be the result of a group of hard-working behind-the-scenes heroes pushing the platform to move slowly.
This is the charm of film and television production, which uses various ingenious methods to create beautiful illusions for us, allowing us to immerse ourselves in them and feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows brought by the story. And I, as a member of this industry, should cherish this job and create every picture with my heart to present the best visual experience to the audience.
From then on, whenever I sat in front of the computer and edited videos, the image of Ruby Lin "riding" the immobile bicycle always came to mind. This not only makes me feel relieved, but also motivates me to look at every shot with a more professional eye and process every frame with a more delicate approach. Because I know how many unknown secrets and painstaking efforts are hidden behind that seemingly ordinary picture.
