Isaiah Saxon's first appearance in "The Legend of Ochi" has changed a huge change. Just like many Hollywood stories, this month's Los Angeles (LOS Angeles Fires) has changed a huge change. The Saxon people lost their home in the fire, and the drama of the movie was postponed. However, the Saxon people spent many years developing and engaged in fantasy functions, so they unswervingly stood behind his movie and will participate in the premiere of the Santa world.

"OCHI's Legend" is a retired guest. Its aesthetics, fantasy elements, and the fusion of practical and digital effects will immediately attract audiences of a certain age, but it is modern and well implemented to attract young audiences who have stood out from the heavy fares of VFX in recent decades. Essence

This film tells the story of Yuri, and Yuri is a shy farm in the remote village of Karba. Yuri was born in the only child of his father who desires his son, and he was demonized by local residents. However, when Yuri found a failed Ochi hunting, she fled home and helped young animals to find him. "World News" breaks the role of Helena ZENGEL as Yuri, Finn Wolfhard, Emily Watson and William Da Willem Dafoe plays a key role among the main actors of the movie.

"OCHI's Legend" uses the mix of puppets, animations, matte painting and CG animation, showing a amazing world of fantasy. It is very similar to our own world. It is difficult to say that the real and invention is true. The Saxon said, that's the design type The premiere of Santaus about this movie.

Variety: Color, characters, and even fonts use the nostalgia of fantasy movies in the 1980s and 1990s. Can you talk about some specific effects you think of when developing film aesthetics?

Saxon: Our movie is about the relationship between children and another species, and how to become a change in life. The movie that inspired us to adopt this attitude is "KES" and "Black Seed Horse" -only, because of this reality, the feeling of emotional connection with root -then, of course, "ET" and "Totoro", so that creatures are more like dreamlike It feels as a mirror in the inner world of children's unconsciousness. For stage works and matte paintings, we have paid a lot of attention to "willow trees", "Kwaidan", "UGETSU" and "Black narcissus". They all embraced drama skills in a very elegant way. For the crazy tone that is not related to the wide -angle in the movie, the "Nicolas ROEG version) of Roald Dahl is a huge contact point. "Princess Mononoke" is the main guidance of the inherent value of nature, and has nothing to do with people -oriented lenses.

In this movie, the audience is very important for Ochi to feel sympathetic. What is the character design process of these creatures? How long does it take to participate, what is the most difficult challenge you face?

In the remote mountains of China, there is an endangered spiritual animal, called a cold golden monkey. These monkeys, together with various TARSIERS and fox monkeys, are the main inspiration of my initial drawings. I hope Ochi feels reasonable, just like you have not seen the BBC's natural documentary, so I think I should mainly comply with the characteristics of the existing species, and will not be too crazy about design. I cooperated with John Nolan Studios in London to bring my drawings into life: David Darby carved these creatures, Adrian Parish and Karl Gallivan designed internal animation animals, and John Nolan was responsible for the entire process. Even if they are a small studio, these guys have just completed practical creatures in the Jurassic World and their talents. We have been developing the prototype of the creature since 2019, and can make camera testing and performance experiments with puppets. Even if the first prototype is used, although there is no facial exercise or fur and there are five puppet hands on it, it immediately feels completely alive. The puppet is very old and deep. Since the era of the acupoints, we have produced shadow drama on the wall, so our brain will accept it. For adult Ochi, they are carried out by a small man wearing a suit. These suits have the animated head with remote control and operate through the remote control camera. Our long choreographer Peter Elliot guides all puppets and suit performances. He has almost been part of each ape movie since the 1970s, or he put on a suit himself ( "Pursue fire", "gorilla in the fog" "" Congo ") or now he is old, guiding choreography to create real long movements.

How much of the effect of the movie is practical and how much is the use of CG? What I will emphasize is that this is not a valuable judgment issue. I am very opposed to too popular contemporary thought numbers.

Except for a few CG specialty shooting, all OCHIs are completely practical camera performances. We have never enhanced the animation OCHI performance through CG, but each baby Ochi is finally a VFX lens, because we must delete puppets and replace their overlapping background. There are 600 VFX shooting in the film, most of which are related to adding matte paintings and set up expansion to establish an environment. As the movie gradually rotates the knob on the fantasy element, we have changed from a purely actual location to a practical position enhanced from matte painting to a large -scale natural set established on the sound stage with a complete CG ambient background. I thank you for your emotions that are often damaged to visual effects. I think I am not only a director, which means that my artistic practice includes writing, painting, editing, design, carving and creating CGI and VFX. Except for CG and VFX, all these handicrafts are usually celebrated. These craftsmanship is largely considered to be less effort or handicrafts than actual work. Digital visual effects are just a set of tools with special advantages and disadvantages. Indeed, this work is a tedious custom handicraft art, which is done by enthusiastic people's great attention to details.

If the story is convincing, any good fantasy movie needs to follow a set of rules. What rules do you build this world, although there are some incredible situations, ensure that the story is still credible?

Although this movie is of course a fantasy adventure, I do have an internal rules, that is, everything should feel reasonable and realistic, insist on the realistic model established in zoology, sociology, etc. I hope that children want to know that Ochi is actually a real species and real species and if Kalba island is a real place. Because as a child and even as an adult, we have been learning new animals and plants as well as natural phenomena like another world. Our environment is Karba Island, which is directly inspired by the Karba Mountains. The mountains pass through Eastern Europe. In order to build the version of this world, we are filmed in the small remote villages of Terrana Vavania and the highest roads in the mountains. These places have maintained the most complete virgin forests and the highest bear, wolf and Bobcat crowd. In the natural world and the culture of the people, there is a deep mystery there. When you leave the city of Romania and go deep into the countryside, it feels like entering a time to reach a world. People still drove a carriage, sickle, their field sickles and built dry grass piles to feed animals in the long winter, but it is still a supermarket. And small truck. This is a mixed -race world, and I found this very excited.
