6 movies where the details come with incredible care (36 photos)

Scary to imagine how much work and time when creating blockbusters wasted - on the little things that can result in uglyadet except that several members of the crew. For example:

1. "The Lord of the Rings." Each costume details has its own history



What films in the genre of science fiction or fantasy is particularly important - so it's the details. Without elaborate detail in the costumes and props, a dream world will never look convincing. It is one thing to achieve credibility, and quite another - and meticulously adding layer upon layer of such subtle touches that just physically impossible to see on the screen, even if we consider each frame individually.

Take, for example, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers." Remember the scene in a grand battle at Helm's Deep, where thousands of hideous orcs storm the fortress? Have you noticed how well they were chainmail?

So - each coat of mail for each orc created manually. Ring for a ring ... for two years without a break. Only about ten kilometers of hard manual work ...

And then these priceless chainmail more than half were hidden under the armor, so that peeped just a few centimeters. If we take into account that the battle takes place at night and in the rain, I think that the chance to see the fine work the viewer was property-men, to put it mildly.



That's not all. In order to fully assess the demanding director Peter Jackson to detail, it is necessary to take a closer look closely to all the armor and weapons that were featured in the trilogy: each race - its specific features, and within each race there is also a "family" differences.

Click to pause the scene in Rivendell and peer into a complex pattern bronze quiver Legolas made in the technique of casting wax model:



Well, let's say, it is still possible to understand - still one of the main characters, about six hours stay on the screen ... But revise battle with orcs and note the variety of hats - some are "traditional" for orc culture:



Others point out that the orcs, in fact - scavengers who pick up weapons and armor, abandoned on the battlefield. And everywhere countless details.

Get accustomed to the close-up of a dwarf - you'll notice the buckle on the belt with a pattern typical of the architecture of this race:



And these "details" costumes were made more than 48 thousand! Given that most of these parts in the film no one noticed - they simply can not see.

Each of these helmets - its purpose. For orcs lower rank - rough skin and crumpled metal, especially for disfigured - elongated and irregular shapes, light - for scouts, with teeth - for berserkers.



In addition, it has been ten thousand buckles for belts orcs (and, of course, is also handmade) are not what to consider - just to see what they are there, and it is virtually impossible.

And this is not the only example of a completely inexplicable obsession with Hollywood costume designers. Here's another:

2. "Coraline." Clothes for cartoon characters associated with tiny needles



Puppet feature film is removed for a long time - about two years because each frame has to build by hand. Well, if you manage to capture a day in a few seconds the next movie.



The creators of "Coraline in the camp of Nightmares" (2009) turned out to people so obsessed that they decided to add myself a headache holding knitting. Everything, even the tiniest details of clothing tied a woman named Althea Crome.



Its spokes were not much thicker than a human hair. Here's how the process looks:



Here is how the result looks:



And even so:



Well, at least it could be seen on the screen:



But what about the tiny socks that no one, in fact, and did not see:



And yet embroidered pockets on the jacket of one of the most extravagant characters:



3. «V - for Vendetta." Sign «V» hidden everywhere



The letter «V» or the number "5" (as the sign «V» More denoted and the appropriate Roman numeral) can be found in nearly every frame of the film «V - Vendetta»

Some can be seen easily:





But sometimes these signs are practically indistinguishable. For example, when we see Creedy and Finch for the first time, they are separated by the letter «V», anticipating what will happen later (Creedy tries to stop V, and Finch, as a result, stands on the side of the main character):



When Natalie Portman comes to life in the dungeon on her forehead can be seen a small cut, reminiscent of a sign «V»:



Book in this movie too open just enough to form the shape of «V»:



Another sign of the clock form:



In the final battle V simultaneously throws two daggers, which form all the same sign:



And then flying daggers and five more V:



Creedy then does exactly five shots, and on the wall remains bloodstain form «V»:



Not impressed? Okay, let's go further ...

Natalie Portman's character name is Ivy, the English version Evey. The letter «E» - the fifth in the English alphabet, the letter «Y» - 25 th (five squared). In the name of Finch (Finch - a character who goes to the side V) - five letters. In one scene, playing Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

Favorite phrase V - «I force during the life of the truth to conquer the universe" - the Latin translation of the famous statements as «Vi veri veniversum vivus vici». Five words, and each begins to «V»!

4. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Applets Quidditch World Cup



In order that the world of Harry Potter at least scrupulously detailed than the same "Lord of the Rings", no one will argue. And not just in books. The creators of the Potter films, too, not to lose face, and came up with the details, which are almost impossible to notice.

Take, for example, programs in the hands of the audience. There was everything that could have been in the program: description of the game, the statistics for each team logos:



Sponsors of the World Cup:



And even the advertising of goods from the world of Harry Potter:



5. "The Shining". Manuscript Jack



Remember the scene where Shelley Duvall looks at Jack Nicholson's novel, and finds the phrase "Work without toys bothered Jack," which is repeated again and again, a thousand times? She was supposed to herald the whole story with an ax and madness, because no sane person on this is clearly not capable.

Editor of "The Shining" and, concurrently, Kubrick's daughter Vivian, says that the director made his own secretary to spend "a few months, without exaggeration, stamping machine on every single page," that is practically go through the same path of madness that Nicholson character.



6. "Finding Nemo." All employees of Pixar had to take lessons in biology



When Pixar's decided to take up the picture of the fish speaking, the intention is to make it extremely realistic. For a start, hired a teacher who had to train all employees studio tricks ichthyology.



As a result, every movement of each fish "Nemo" from the point of view of biology was virtually flawless. Fins where you have clapped, and where you have raked in water, twisting in strict accordance with the science.

Medusa also went nowhere plausible:



Moreover, employees themselves Pixar had tremendous research and learned the intricacies of how the light is refracted through the body of a jellyfish, and how sea creatures appear pale and under water, depending on how far float - no one has ever before such did:



Unfortunately, most of these incredible efforts in vain, because, as is often the case, for details somehow missed the point. It turned out that the clown fish - serial hermaphrodite. So in the real world after the death of mom dad Nemo would just threw the remaining eggs to be eaten by crabs, would turn into a female and went in search of a male.



So, it turns out, nothing Pixar pored over books.
