A real touch.

Recently, the final episode of "the Last Survivor" produced by HBO has come to an end, and the performance of the final episode is still stable. The entire series has received rave reviews and has become an excellent representative of the adaptation of IP.

HBO, the producer with a high score of 9.1, announced that the finale was watched by about 8.2 million viewers on the first night of the finale, a record number of viewers, and the show became the most watched TV show on HBO Max in Europe and Latin America.

In the eagerly awaited, the finale recreates many classic scenes from the game, including "Ellie and Joel encounter giraffes."

In the original game, with Joel's encouragement, Ellie reached out and touched the giraffe, while in the show, Ellie had more friendly interaction with the big guy, experienced all kinds of cruel Ellie, and finally showed her childlike innocence at this moment. Even after nearly a decade, it is still enough to move the audience in front of the screen.

In the original "the Last Survivor," this shot means too much: it not only shows the bond between Ellie and Joel, but also makes Ellie and the players in front of the screen once again feel the beauty of life in the apocalypse, soothe the pain in the heart, and see the beauty worth cherishing again.

Outline: cheering for the giraffe is also because this shot is so important that at first some viewers were not very satisfied with the performance of the giraffe actor. Compared with the fresh life in the game, the giraffe in the play is very "boring". Many people speculate that the giraffe is generated by three-dimensional animation, compared with the original, the giraffe in the show is somewhat "under-budgeted" ugly.

However, with the continuous release of the photos of the crew, people have come to realize that what is played in the play is a real giraffe, which can be regarded as "appearing without makeup".

According to the zoo, the giraffe is named Nabo, a 13-year-old male Marseilles giraffe, young and strong for the giraffe living in the zoo.

Crew members said that after a careful study of the game, they realized that the shot of the giraffe is something to be reckoned with and has an important meaning in the whole story, although the giraffe can be generated through image technology. but the connotation and effect are obviously different.

It is reported that in order to get the giraffe to cooperate with the performance, the crew spent a month in advance to adapt the giraffe to the shooting environment. During this period, the trainer tried to make the giraffe not afraid of strangers and let it learn to eat from strangers, which ensured Ellie's smooth contact with Joel and him, and in order to create the special effects scene where they met, the crew set up a green screen around the giraffe's fence some time in advance.

So much trouble, just how to put the "deer actor" into a vivid scene. In addition to the interaction with the giraffe, another commendable place is the natural fusion of the giraffe and the special effects scene, which is obviously not easy to achieve, the special effects director of the show said. this is probably the most complex special effects work he has ever done.

When the truth was revealed, some netizens praised the giraffe's acting skills, and it was a great contribution to be able to reproduce the scenes in the original works so accurately.

Perhaps after this battle, the giraffe will also become a "star" in the circle. I wonder if this good actor, who represents the beauty of nature, can understand that he has successfully restored a classic scene in the game world.
