Bai Zhe adjusted the positions of several cameras and pointed multiple lenses at Zhuang Xi in the center of the venue from different angles.
After visiting several photo studios, he rented a united 3D camera.
This kind of 3D camera has low intelligence and is troublesome to adjust the equipment, but the recording effect is okay.
"OK, you can start recording."
"Don't you need to put on makeup?"
Zhuang Xi still has shiny pink-blue hair and tattoo stickers on his arms. When she officially goes on stage to perform, she wants to return to her former self.
"No, just keep the outline similar to the performance. I recorded the video of "Metamorphosis" because I wanted to make a three-dimensional silhouette of you."
"3D silhouette?"
"I'll show it to you when it's done."
She nodded and got ready. Bai Zhe seems to have some unique designs in stage light and shadow effects.
"3, 2, 1, start."
After the two recorded it three times, Bai Zhe successfully completed the video material.
He had watched his colleagues operate in the studio before, and recently learned how to use it in an online class. It was smooth for him to get started for the first time.
The images generated by recording with 3D cameras can be directly projected on the stage through projection equipment.
After returning to the basement den, Bai Zhe processed the materials and the results were good.
He connected the rented equipment and stepped on the inductive switch. The disc-shaped holographic projector on the ground released light and shadow to form Zhuang Xi's image, which started to dance.
Did Bai Zhe want to use stereoscopic projection to enrich the stage effect?
"The definition is a bit low. Also, with the same image as myself, will the effect be weird?"
The two of them were already very familiar with each other, so she didn't have much scruples and spoke of her objective feelings.
The more stage effects, the better. Cooperation with the performance itself is the core.
"Well, I don't have money to rent HD equipment, so I plan to do a little processing on the images. Like this"
Bai Zhe adjusted it, and the stereoscopic projection changed from color to light blue. The facial features became blurred, and overall only the outline could be seen clearly.
Oh, 3D silhouettes.
"Try it, get ready and step on to start the projection."
He turned off the device. Zhuang Xi stepped forward with some curiosity, and the three-dimensional image almost completely overlapped with hers.
She took a step sideways to separate from the projection, and the two danced in sync, as if a layer of silhouette had been peeled off from her body.
After a short dance, the projection freezes at the moment when he raises his hand and turns around. Bai Zhe pressed pause.
After a while, the projection danced again, lagging behind Zhuang Xi by one or two bars. After a dance, it freezes again.
She muses, and the effect is much more interesting.
"How many of these projections do you plan to use on the stage?"
“Four, or maybe eight, silhouettes transitioning from light blue to dark blue.
Every time you step on a piece of equipment, a silhouette will be added to the stage. It will dance with you for a segment and then enter a freeze frame, and then move to a different part with you.
After "Metamorphosis" enters the third part, I plan to freeze all the silhouettes at different moments as the background. "
Bai Zhe explained his thoughts. He believed that Zhuang Xi would understand and like this design.
Different silhouettes, different stages, different frequencies.
Her eyes lit up. This light and shadow effect is very consistent with the theme of "Metamorphosis".
"As for the time point to start the silhouette, I plan to use the pause in the dance, such as 27 seconds, 51 seconds here."
Zhuang Xi nodded. By activating the device during a pause, her movements coincide with the outline of the silhouette.
"Each pause is more than half a second. I'll practice it and I'll have time."
Adding silhouettes should reduce the thinness and perhaps make the subject stand out more.

[Is there any way you can rent the electronic screen in the building at this location? 】
Bai Zhe encountered a little difficulty when renting a giant screen.
The rent is not very expensive. One minute of prime time in the evening costs 300, and one minute of stereoscopic video costs 450. It takes 1,800 to finish "Huasheng".
The problem is that the company that operates the electronic screens in this area does not accept live broadcasts.
[The other party does not accept live broadcasts, and the video samples must be submitted to them for review]
It’s hard for them to put together a show. If you have to submit samples, live performance and electronic screen placement can only be misaligned.
N: [Impossible, you don’t have to pay to rent an electronic screen]
Bai Zhe did not go to Huohokolin again this time. If you catch a hairy one, it will almost turn bald.
[Maybe we rent it as an individual, not in the name of a company]
N: [I will not chase stars with public funds! I understand, your credit rating must be too low]
Hey, hey, hey, it hurts my heart.
He has been struggling to make ends meet for many years, and only recently has he shown some signs of prosperity. Zhuang Xi is a bankrupt gangster.
Their credit ratings are D and F. sad story.
N: [How many electronic screens do you want to rent? I’ll have someone purchase it on my behalf]
Just this one. Bai Zhe beeped quietly in his heart.
[Two or three yuan]
N: [Oh, this location is directly opposite the muse, so brave! 】
N: [Three yuan is not enough. If you rent all these things around, you can surround the muse]
Very good idea.
[Funds may be a bit tight]
N: [If I don’t have enough money, I’ll put it down first. How long will you rent it for? 】
【Four minutes】
N: [Short, too short! Eight minutes]
[What are you going to do with the remaining four minutes?]
N: [Play it again]
If he hadn't met Grius, Bai Zhe would have suspected that N was a fraudster, or someone selling electronic screens.
This host probably usually plays with the giant electronic screen to support his idol.
N: [No problem, I’ll order it]
Bai Zhe gritted his teeth. If something goes wrong, you'll have to run away.
【OK】
After a while, N replied.
N: [What time period did you book? 】
[The better time in the evening is about five days later. The specific time has not yet been determined]
N: [Already booked, waiting for you to confirm the time, as soon as possible]
Already booked? Not even three minutes.
No samples required, no deposit required. Bai Zhe felt that they and N were not the same species.
[Let’s discuss it, right away]
N: [Looking forward to your performance, don’t be too boring]
【It will definitely not be boring】
In addition to the bodyguards they had agreed upon before, they owed another sum.
If he can't give Muse a hard blow, N will definitely be dissatisfied. When the time comes to attack from both sides, they probably won't have much time.
The two decided on the performance time based on the progress of preparations. Five days later, at 8pm on Saturday, the weather forecast was sunny.
There are only eight days left in the creation time limit required by the commission, and it is almost reaching a dead end.
Everything depends on the effect of the first performance, success or failure depends on this.
————————
The Xikora backup machine lay flat on the maintenance table, its body was dismantled into multiple parts, revealing the light alloy skeleton and micro engine inside.
"Haven't the problem been found yet?"
Shalan's tone was a little solemn.
If the abnormal behavior of the backup machine occurs once in public, Muse Media will be doomed, and all her efforts up to this point will be in vain.
That kind of horrifying scene would destroy all the beautiful images they had carefully designed and maintained for Xikora in a matter of seconds.
"No. The program and hardware have been checked several times, and no one has found any tampering."
I am resurrected (50%).
Today I was robbed by the Black Cat family again. One of them is a bit like a loving father.
