In the dark room, Lily was alone with her butt sticking up, trapped in a magic circle.
At this moment, Lily was not wearing the blue armor nor her usual blue dress, but a white miniskirt.
Her hands were entangled in red magic and she was unable to move.
Under the pressure of the Command Spell, Saber was using all her strength to resist Caster's orders.
However, even Saber, who possessed rank A [Anti-Magic Power], was helpless in the face of such a situation and could only delay time as much as possible.
Because of the long fight against the Command Spells, Saber was now covered in sweat and looked extremely exhausted.
"Hmm..."
Saber looked up at Caster who was not far away. She gritted her teeth, her face flushed with shame, and she wished she could tear him into pieces.
"Great, it's over!"
Nanaya raised the director's baton and said to everyone, "The first phase of Fate is finished. Thank you all for your hard work."
Bang!
Before Nanaya could finish his words, something that was still trembling was thrown on his head.
"Director Nanaya, please don't go too far!"
There was still a slight blush on Lily's face, and it was unclear whether it was because she was angry or the reaction just now was not over yet.
"Tsk tsk, why do you have the same reaction? You are the same, Shiki is the same."
Nanaya calmly turned off the switch on the massager and handed it to the assistant on the set.
What was being filmed just now was the scene where Saber was controlled by Caster and resisted the Command Spell.
However, Lily, who was used to Saber's majestic demeanor, could not show what Nanaya wanted, the expression of resistance of a female knight facing humiliation.
Therefore, after trying several times and failing to achieve the expected result, Nanaya could only use the old method -
Use a massager to solve this problem.
The effect was indeed good. Lily perfectly portrayed Saber's shyness and hatred towards Caster.
However, this hatred was directed at Nanaya.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't want to do that."
Perhaps because Lily's gaze was too piercing, Nanaya could only comfort her.
"If it weren't for your poor acting skills, I wouldn't have thought of using this method. So in the final analysis, it's still your fault."
Well, this isn't soothing, this is Nanaya-style adding fuel to the fire.
"F**K!"
Lily swore at Nanaya, which was a rare occurrence.
"I finally understand why Sister Shimoda broke up with Director Nanaya. Director Nanaya, you don't understand girls' minds at all." Lily said angrily. She blushed and wiped the sweat off her body with a towel.
"Hello."
Nanaya made a noise of protest, but that was all he did.
In the final analysis, Nanaya was the one who was in the wrong in this matter, so he decided to let the other party go.
If Nanaya hadn't been so anxious to finish the shot earlier, he should have asked Lily to polish the shot through repeated NGs.
But after nearly half a year of filming, not only the other crew members, but even Nanaya began to feel a little irritated.
When shooting other shots before, Nanaya had controlled himself very well, but this last shot made him a little impatient.
The shot currently being filmed of Saber being controlled is the last shot of this shoot.
With the end of this shot, the Fate crew will be temporarily disbanded and will not reunite until the second half of the year.
Nanaya will take this opportunity to post-edit the already shot footage, come up with a rough cut of the first half of UBW's plot excluding Ryuudou, and start further processing.
But for the actors, their nearly half-year filming has finally come to an end. In the next period of time, they can do their other work.
The first phase of Fate was wrapped up in such a rush that not even a traditional wrap party was held, and the crew members went their separate ways.
However, Nanaya still sent a red envelope to all members involved in the filming in the name of the studio as a thank you for their help over such a long time.
The filming of Fate has been completed, but that doesn't mean the movie is finished.
Before the crew gathers again in the second half of the year, the crew members still need to complete their own work.
Especially those idols, who haven't made any announcements or appeared on any shows for half a year. It is estimated that their work in the next period of time will not be much better than when they were filming.
But as he had told everyone before, Nanaya gave everyone a one-month vacation in the name of the crew.
However, whether those idols can fully enjoy this one-month vacation is not something Nanaya can know. I think they can at least have a few days of vacation.
As for Nanaya himself, he does not plan to take too long a vacation. Although he does not have any movies released in 2004, his work content is no less than in previous years.
But necessary rest is still necessary. The shooting process of the Fate project is too complicated, and Nanaya has become quite tired both physically and mentally.
After parting with everyone in the crew, Nanaya first returned to his rented apartment in Tokyo and slept for a whole day and night.
Then Nanaya stayed at home playing games, watching movies and reading novels to relax his brain.
On the fourth day, Nanaya finally walked out of his doghouse and began to devote himself to his work with a refreshed mind.
After hiring a housekeeper to tidy up his extremely messy room, he began to devote himself to the post-production of the film.
Although Nanaya gave the crew members a month's vacation, the film's post-production special effects team was not included in the vacation.
They are different from others who have been working continuously for half a year.
Although the post-production of the film was carried out at the same time as the filming of Fate, the special effects team all get off work from 9 to 5, and they have a normal work and rest routine and do not need long vacations at all.
In terms of post-production special effects, Nanaya first focused on CGI synthesis.
Fate Stay Night is a standard commercial special effects movie, and the level of special effects determines the most basic quality of this movie.
Nana is not a film model fan like Nolan. Except for a few explosions used for texture needs, the special effects of Fate are basically green screen scenes and post-production CGI.
This not only saves time and effort, but also makes it easy to make modifications during post-production.
2004 was a relatively critical time point. Before that, the cost of producing computer special effects was much higher than that of real-life models.
However, after 2006, the cost of computer special effects began to gradually fall below that of real-life model shooting.
After the release of "Avatar" in 2009, except for directors like Nolan who have a special preference for models, most crews would give priority to the latter between models and CGI.
This is the trend brought about by technological development, and Nanaya has no intention of being the mantis blocking the wheel.
What he hopes more is to follow the trend and make a lot of money.
The special effects post-production of the Fate crew was held in Washimine's new Tokyo headquarters building.
Shion specially reserved half a floor for Nanaya for the post-production special effects production of Fate.
Washimine's own special effects team, the special effects production team stationed by Weta Special Effects Workshop, IMAX's post-production consulting team, and Nanaya and Shunya Ota (music producer) from [Erque Studio].
Together, these people formed the post-production team of the Fate project.
Although [Erque Studio] is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, everyone in the team knows who they are working for.
"This model won't work. The sword is too clear."
Nanaya looked at the model of the holy sword entangled in the Wind King's barrier provided by the computer special effects team and directly rejected the first design draft.
"You have only made a sword transparent, but this transparent shell itself is Saber's Noble Phantasm. I need to make it more imposing."
The way many things are presented needs to change across media carriers.
As a movie, it is impossible for the audience to open a menu and read the information of the servants one by one like playing a game.
Or, like in a novel, you can read the settings written on the title page.
Although Nanaya will definitely release a separate setting collection after the movie is released, it is still a question how many people will buy the product that is sold as a fan collection.
Movies are meant to be watched, and Nanaya could only simplify the original complex settings of FSN as much as possible and present them to the audience in a visual way.
For example, the Wind King Barrier, although in the original setting it can release compressed wind as a disposable long-range weapon.
But such a performance really makes it hard to believe that this is a C-level treasure. You know, the dragon girl's [Dragon Thunder] is only D-level, but the description is much more domineering than the Wind King's barrier.
In fact, in the legend of King Arthur, there is no Wind King's Barrier.
Nanaya feels that the mushroom setting is more for hiding Artoria's identity in the Fate line until the key point of the plot.
In Nanaya's expectation, the power of the Wind King's barrier will be greatly enhanced. He hopes that the effect it will bring to the audience will be just like the "Wind King" in its name, and every attack will bring the effect of a hurricane.
The modification of the Wind King's barrier is just one of them. Nanaya needs to present the settings of many other servants to the audience in a visual way.
This is especially true when it comes to Noble Phantasms. The Noble Phantasms of the Servants are ever-changing, especially the two major Noble Phantasms owners, Gilgamesh and Heroic Emiya. In order to highlight the different characteristics of each of their numerous Noble Phantasms, the entire special effects team racked their brains and racked their brains.
These two people plus the male protagonist Shirou Emiya, the three of them have the most difficult attack method of all the characters in terms of the presentation of their thousand arrows attack.
After Nanaya, the hands-off boss, threw the special effects requirements to them, he himself was busy editing the trailer.
Because according to the promotional strategy he and Washimine had developed, he had to come up with the first version of the movie's trailer before June.
The task was very tight, so after Nanaya finished editing the 2-minute video, he handed the trailer to the special effects team and asked them to complete the special effects designed for the trailer first.
Even so, it was not until May 28 that Nanaya hurriedly delivered the trailer to Washimine.
A few days later, on June 1, Washimine shocked the entire Internet industry with a big move.
On this day, a video website called [See Moon] appeared before the world.
The 2-minute trailer for Fate produced by Nanaya is the first video on this video website.
