How to remove "Back to the Future" (20 photos) Bashny.Net

The trilogy "Back to the Future" is deservedly called a cult, and for many it is still one of the nostalgic bridges in childhood or adolescence. Let us examine the most notable episodes of the trilogy, and learn how they were shot.



By the time we started shooting the first film directed by Robert Zemeckis already had the reputation of a master of adventure productions thanks to the movie "Romancing the Stone". Hollywood bosses trusted him and spared no expense



Yet the special effects in the film were not used very often - only three dozen times, and almost all of them are associated with the car. On the creation of visual effects that are added to the tape in a couple of weeks prior to her hire, employee studio of George Lucas Industrial Light & Magic. They added drawn using computer flash accompanying the transition from one time period to another, and the zipper in one of the final episode



By the way, no lightning could not be at all. The original version of the scenario assumes that the necessary time travel energy docking and Marty find on the nuclear tests in the Nevada desert. But then managers calculated that such surveys only one small episode required more than one million dollars (about two million dollars today, adjusted for inflation)



One of the main "chip" of the film and became a symbol of the entire trilogy DeLorean DMC-12, in which the main characters to travel in time. They say, first the script featured an abstract laser unit in the office of the dock. Then someone suggested a fantasy: to get into the past and future spectacular all in the fridge! Fortunately, this idea was abandoned, fearing for the health of thousands of children who, after rolling the tape certainly try to test the magical properties of the refrigerator at home



Why is the role of the chosen time machine DeLorean DMC-12? Perhaps the explanation sounds in the film out of the mouth of the dock: since you're doing such a contraption out of the car, then why not look stylish? Of course, we should not forget that the stainless steel body DeLorean beneficial effect on the swirl of time. And Robert Zemeckis team decided that the DMC-12 is very similar to the alien ship and fits perfectly in a humorous scene when the family farmer finds a time machine in his hangar and takes her for a UFO. DeLorean DMC-12 - actually existing sports cars manufactured from 1981 to 1983. The design of the car was so unusual for the time, that confer him more "futuristic" for the film almost did not have to. Is that hitched a "nuclear reactor", or rather the old man body component Dodge Polaris, and hung aviadetalyami found in a landfill. Total filmmakers took three copies of DeLorean, each of whom worked on the set of 100%.



To create the effect of frost have just returned from a tour of the car used was nitrogen - DeLorean literally frozen. Fire the traces left by the car sped away, - the usual spilled fuel, which ignited manually. The filmmakers decided to use these relatively cheap effects, but has long been considered a version with stretch and contract like a rubber band, DeLorean. But as a result of such a trick refused: it was expensive to do for a long time, and today it certainly would look hopelessly outdated



"Adults" machine not without toy doubles. The filmmakers have created several thumbnail layouts DeLorean. They are suspended in the air in a special sleeve, plan on a blue screen, the place which is then superimposed the desired video clips. The same technique was used later on the set the second and third parts of the trilogy - all flying cars and trains were duplicated in the toy format with which filmmakers work much more convenient



One of the biggest items of expenditure were not the toys and the triple "charged» DeLorean, and scenery. The entire town of Hill Valley is not related to any of the really existing settlements and has been created in an open pavilion of film studio Universal. Millions of dollars are spent on it to create the scenery of the central square with all the buildings provided by the script. In the first part of the brand new facades were first used for the filming of the scenes that took place in the 1950s. Only toward the end of shooting period decorations specially old and to show now, that is the middle of the 1980s



The most saturated by the presence in the frame of various visual effects was the second part of the trilogy. It is not surprising, because the protagonists of most of the screen time in the future. And this time the actors had hard times. Particularly unlucky Michael J. Fox. In one scene he had to play old-Marty, and his son and daughter. The problem is that all of them should be present in the scene simultaneously. Grimirovka actor in each of the three characters takes about four hours. At first filmed role of the father, and then - a son, and finally his daughter. Then get the footage simply laid on top of each other - so get the illusion that the kitchen at the same table at the same time sit three people. All fall into the pre-glued frame props that after installation it is not "jumped" from place to place on the film



Creating Hill Valley specimen 2015, the filmmakers did not want to follow the fashion in the 1980s to represent the future trend in dark tones a la Orwell. "Back to the Future 2" is much more optimistic and colorful. Much attention is paid to Robert Zemeckis vehicle fleet of the future. To save a little, it was decided to borrow a few ready-made models of cars from already published a science fiction movie. For example, in various episodes of cars can be seen from the "Blade Runner" and "The Last stellar fighter." Also in the film a lot of concept cars, modified Ford Probe and Mustang



Robert Zemeckis did not really want to reveal the secret hoverboard. He even joked (with a straight face!), Which is the usual skate, but without wheels, and in the air he holds due to the magnetic field. These gizmos, they say, is already produced in secrecy, but the crew managed to incredible efforts to get a couple. In fact, everything was much more complicated. When Marty and others "hoverbordistov" shown above the knees, were shown on the screen of the usual "pokatushki" on skateboards. To create the effect of light sliding over the rough surface, the entire area of ​​the town covered with plywood sheets. In some scenes the main character rides a simple trolley



In addition, the engineers had to come up with a complicated system of straps is mounted on the crane. To a belt hung actors, and they almost did not really fly in the air. Most Viewers impressive shots when actors shown below the knee, with soaring hoverboard and kicking them. To remove these episodes, to the boards firmly screwed shoes, characters in the film were put on a special installation and drove until all action shoot camera



But the flying machines in the scene when Marty goes to the city of the future, added in layers, just like in Photoshop: first details were worked trajectory of one car, then another, and so on.. In the end, all models were filmed on a blue background, as required Robert Zemeckis and "glued" with the field staff



One of the few truly computer special effects in the film - a virtual shark with posters, "bite" of the protagonist. Play funk Michael J. Fox had their own, no, he did not see the shark. The effect itself was added much later to have footage



Most experts in special effects proud moment landing a flying DeLorean. There before them was not an easy task - to make the audience did not notice the trick. The fact that in the first we see a hand-drawn frame model that lands smoothly, and that's before the eyes of the spectator a completely real car with Marty and dock inside. This scene has turned out so, that even the most attentive "critics" could not see the point of transfer of the drawing in real DeLorean. This crew helped lantern successfully divided the car before and after the "conversion". Employees of the studio of George Lucas sweated a lot, combining frames, as well as the play of light and shadow



The third part of the "Back to the Future" was filmed in the western tradition, and place for the special effects in it almost was not. But the picture has been farmed out to the top ten Hollywood stuntmen who are willing to fight, ride a horse and jumped on the wagon train



At this time the bulk of filming had to be moved from open pavilions Universal's Monument Valley - almost red desert with some towering cliffs. Just right for a film about cowboys and time travel!



From a technical point of view, the most serious in the "Back to the Future 3" was the episode of the train. Firstly, many of the tricks performed at high speed and are dangerous for the life of the actor. Secondly, the film crew had to be in whatever was to lose the old steam locomotive with unfinished rails. Make it to the train it was impossible, so Robert Zemeckis resorted to proven reception - took a small copy of the locomotive. Above the layout we worked for about two months and then have filled it with explosives, dispersed on a specially built tracks for him and destroyed a couple of seconds



In the same scene, which still tselehonkim train accelerates to a DeLorean, many shots were filmed backwards - in reality, the locomotive travels backwards. This was done primarily for safety reasons. Who knows, maybe the car with Michael Fox inside the derailed? When Marty finally returns to his time, DeLorean goes on existing railroad tracks. A couple of times a day the train passed over them, and at this time the car had to be removed from the rails



Spectacular end to the adventures of Marty put the episode with the destruction of a time machine. Directed donated a real train car, not the layout, so that the screen we see a scattering of debris collision with a locomotive series DeLorean DMC-12. To the car did not move off the tracks, its "heavier" wet sand. To heighten the effect of car stuffed with dynamite, sawed in several places and blew up just at the moment when a train collided with a DeLorean
