We all love the Director David Fincher for such great films as “Seven”, “Game”, “the Disappeared”, “the curious case of Benjamin Button” and of course “Fight club”. But few people realize that in the movies this Creator has a huge number of invisible to the viewer of special effects. It would seem that modern Hollywood is doing everything to ensure that the CGI effects were the most vivid and spectacular. But David Fincher often uses expensive computer graphics only to very gently enhance the atmosphere of their work. We offer you to watch an interesting video, telling about how the Director for many years manages to hide the effects from the audience.
From David Fincher with special effects has a special relationship. As a very green 20-year-old boy, Fincher got a job at the Studio of George Lucas ‘ Industrial Light & Magic, responsible for creating layouts and graphics for the movie series Star Wars and other films. He worked on such famous films as “return of the Jedi” (1983), “Indiana Jones and the temple of doom” (1984), “the neverending story” (1984) and many others. Then he went on to do TV commercials and music videos for stars of the first magnitude. Their customers were Nike, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, as well as such famous musicians and bands like Madonna, George Michael, Aerosmith and The Rolling Stones.
In the film Fincher managed to settle down immediately. His film debut is “Alien 3” (1992), which because of the huge pressure from the producers was very controversial and upset many fans. As it turned out later, Fincher left the post of Director, could not withstand the constant attacks of management Studio, so the picture of the finished and edited without his participation. The first success of the David Fincher movie is the Thriller “Seven.” On the set of Fincher became friends with actor brad pitt, that later turned in to be a great adaptation of the novel by Chuck Palahniuk “Fight club” with pitt in the lead role. But if the special effects were visible to the naked eye, in later works of the Director, they were carefully hidden from the unprepared viewer.
In 2007, the screens out the film “zodiac” tells the real story of an elusive serial killer who committed 37 crimes for 12 years. To create the most realistic atmosphere of the late 60-ies of the last century, Fincher has embodied on the screen almost the most realistic three-dimensional model of the city of San Francisco in those years, carefully recreated by artists on archival records and photographs. Virtually every scene of the film is completely or partially filmed against the blue screen, and then dorisovyvali with the help of computer technology. It is unlikely that the audience might suspect something. After all, the film was a dark Thriller and not “popkornom blockbuster” about alien invaders or the end of the world. In the end, the film is not repulsed spent money on it, but was critically acclaimed.
It’s hard to believe, but David Fincher’s film “the Social network” more computer graphics than, for example, in the science fiction film “Godzilla”. In the biographical picture about the life of the Creator of the social network Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, exactly 1,000 scenes, which in one way or another involved computer graphics. Did you notice these scenes? No? That is the “special magic” by David Fincher. One may reproach him for undue expenses on the CG graphics and the complexity of the production of paintings, but the Director firmly believes that there is a right way and collapse is not going anywhere. However, cash collections of the latest works of Fincher and numerous movie awards confirm the fact that the vision of the Director is quite justified in all respects.
