Q&A Ndi Wopanga Mafilimu Ryan Swantek

zoopsa: Kodi kupanga mafilimu kunayambira pati kwa inu? (Mwalowamo bwanji)? 

Ryan Swantek: Kupanga mafilimu kunayamba pamene ndinasamukira ku Sarasota wokongola, Fl, kuchokera ku Toledo, O, kumapeto kwa 2015. Ndinkafuna nthawi zonse kuti ndilowe m'makampani, koma kunalibe mafilimu ku Toledo, palibe sukulu za mafilimu, kapena njira iliyonse yopezera. pa seti ndikuyamba kuphunzira. Toledo ndi mzinda wamasewera kwambiri; ndicho chimene anthu amasamala nacho kwambiri kumeneko. Sindikunena kuti sindimakonda masewera, koma sindinali katswiri wothamanga, ndipo ndinkadziwa bwino zimenezo. Ndizopenga chifukwa aliyense akhoza kutchula othamanga omwe abwera kuchokera mumzindawu, koma ndikukayikira kuti anthu ambiri sadziwa kuti Katie Holmes akuchokera ku Toledo. Mukuganiza kuti izi zitha kukhala zopindulitsa kwambiri mumzindawu, poganizira kuti ndi m'modzi mwa akatswiri akulu kwambiri ku Hollywood, koma ndi momwe zilili. Masewera ndi maloto omwe amagulitsidwa kwa inu kuti akufikitseni kuzinthu zazikulu komanso zabwino, osati mafilimu. Sindinadziŵe mtundu wa filimu imene inali kumwera chakumadzulo kwa Florida pamene ndinafika kuno, koma ndinadziŵa kuti iyenera kukhala yabwinoko kuposa imene inali ku Toledo. Mu 2016 ndinayamba kupanga mafilimu anga oyambirira ndikuyamba kuphunzira momwe chirichonse chimagwirira ntchito pamagulu angapo, kuchokera kumagulu akuluakulu a bajeti monga TNT's Claws mpaka mapulojekiti okonda bajeti. Mu 2017 ndidawongolera filimu yanga yoyamba ya White Willow, ndipo kuchokera pamenepo, ndakhala ndikuyesa kudzipangira dzina langa pantchitoyi.

iH: Ryan, tidalankhula komaliza zakufupi kwako kowopsa White Willow zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi zapitazo. Ndiuzeni, mwakhala mukuchita chiyani? 

RS: Zakhala zambiri zikuchitika kwa ine! Ndapanganso mafilimu ena anayi achidule kuyambira pamenepo White Willow, ndipo ndimanyadira kwambiri aliyense wa iwo. Onse adandiphunzitsa zambiri m'njira yotsogolera ku gawo langa loyamba. Sindinapite kusukulu yamafilimu, kotero mwanjira ina, mafilimu afupiafupi amenewo anali sukulu yanga yamafilimu. Mutha kuwerenga zolemba ndikuwonera makanema tsiku lonse lokhudza kupanga mafilimu, koma palibe chomwe chingafanane ndi kulemba ndikuwongolera zinazake. Ndiwofunika kwambiri, ndipo filimu iliyonse yaifupi idandiphunzitsa zambiri pankhani iliyonse yamakampani. Nthawi zonse ndakhala ndimadzitama kuti ndine wochita osati wolankhula. Makampani osangalatsa amangonena za "wonetsero, musanene," ndipo ndimafuna kuwonetsa zomwe ndimatha kuchita ndi ndalama zochepa m'mafilimu anga afupiafupi ndikumanga omvera. Zimamveka kale ngati moyo wakale kuyambira White Willow; Ndinali ndi zaka 24 pamene ndinawongolera zimenezo, ndipo ndili ndi zaka 30 tsopano. Tsiku lililonse ndimayesetsa kuphunzira ndikuchita zambiri momwe ndingathere ndikukhala bwino pakupanga mafilimu, ndipo pamapeto pake ndikufika poti ndinganene kuti ndine wotsogolera mafilimu.

iH: Muli ndi kalavani yatsopano ya kanema yomwe mukugwiritsa ntchito, yomwe ikuwonetsa gawo lanu loyamba lowopsa lotchedwa Kubwezera Ndi Dzina Lake. Kodi maganizo amenewa anachokera kuti? Chifukwa chiyani munapanga filimuyi? 

RS: Ndiyenera kubwereranso zaka zingapo ku 2020 pafunso ili. Ili likhala yankho lalitali kwambiri, koma ndikukhulupirira kuti izi zitha kupereka chidziwitso pazankhanza zamakampani.

Kumayambiriro kwa chaka mu Januware 2020, mliri usanachitike, ndidawongolera filimu yayifupi yotchedwa Rosary. Uwu unali umboni wamaganizidwe afupiafupi omwe adakhala ndi nyenyezi Alexis Knapp (Zolongosoka kwambiri franchise), yemwenso anali wopanga nawo ndi ine. Pulojekitiyi inalinso ndi zigoli zoyambilira za Joel J. Richard, yemwe ankaimba limodzi ndi Tyler Bates pa chilolezo chotchedwa John Wick.

Iyi inali projekiti yayikulu yomwe ndidachita panthawiyo pantchito yanga yopanga makanema. Iyi inali nthawi yanga yoyamba kugwira ntchito ndi wojambula waku Hollywood, nthawi yanga yoyamba ndikugwira ntchito ndi wolemba nyimbo waku Hollywood, ndipo nthawi yanga yoyamba ndikuwongolera filimu yochita masewera olimbitsa thupi; Panali kukonzekera kwakukulu komwe kunapita pa ntchitoyi.

Tidakulungidwa dziko lapansi lisanatseke ndikumaliza ntchitoyo kumapeto kwa 2020. Ndi ichi kukhala filimu yowonetsera umboni, cholinga chinali nthawi zonse kuti mawonekedwewo apangidwe. Apa ndipamene zowona zambiri zamakampani zidandikhomerera kumaso ndikundilowetsa mutu ndili pansi. Sindimapanga chilichonse kuti chiwoneke bwino kwa anthu; Ndinali kupanga mafilimu otsogolera akazi asanakhale nkhani yaikulu m'makampani. Ndizinena, Rosary ili ndi zonse zomwe anthu adayamba kunena kuti akufuna zambiri.

Titayamba kuzipereka kwa anthu, zinakanidwa pagulu. Ine ndekha ndinapita nayo ku kampani ina yoyendetsedwa ndi mmodzi wa ochita zisudzo apamwamba ku Hollywood. Kuyambira pachiyambi, akhala akukamba za mafilimu owonetsera akazi ndikupeza talente yomwe ikubwera. Iwo analankhula zambiri za izo m’zoulutsira nkhani kotero kuti izo zinawoneka ngati zoyenerera bwino filimuyi.

Ndinkaganiza kuti ndi zomwe akufuna komanso zomwe akufuna kuchita. Sakanatha bwanji? Ndi filimu yoipa ndi Alexis Knapp ndipo ili ndi nyimbo ndi Joel J. Richard; akanakana bwanji? Komanso, kuti ndimveke, ndikanena kuti ndidawatengera, sunali uthenga wa Instagram; Ndinalankhula ndi woyang’anira nkhaniyo, ndinadutsa m’bungwe la ochita zisudzo, n’kulemba zolemba zonse zalamulo, ndi kuwatumizira. Inakanidwa popanda kulingalira kulikonse. Sindikutsimikiza ngati munthu yemwe ndimalankhula naye adawoneratu mpaka kalekale, zomwe ndizodabwitsa chifukwa adatchulanso m'mafunso kuti onse adasankha projekiti limodzi ngati gulu. Ilo linali yankho loti “izi ndizabwino, koma osati zathu”. Zinali kumverera koopsa, mwina kufananizidwa ndi pamene mukuganiza kuti tsiku likupita modabwitsa, ndiyeno munthuyo ali ngati, "Sindinamve kugwirizana, bye!" Zinamveka ngati tatayika; kampani iyi yomwe inkawoneka ngati yoyenera idati ayi, wina aliyense adati ayi, ndipo palibe chomwe chidachitika ndi nthawiyo. Zinandipweteka kwambiri, koma phunziro limodzi lalikulu limene ndinaphunzira linali lakuti kusunga nthawi kumachita mbali yaikulu pa chilichonse. Ndikuganiza kuti sinali nthawi yoyenera, ndiye ndinaganiza kuti ndipite patsogolo ndi zolemba zatsopano.

Ndinaganiza zotumiza imelo kwa makampani onse opanga / opanga omwe amachitira mafilimu; Mwina ndidatumiza maimelo opitilira 300+. Kuyankha kwanga kunali kwabwino kwambiri; kwambiri aliyense adafunsa script popeza ndinali ndi mafilimu achidule opambana pansi pa lamba wanga.

Kuyesera kubweretsa yankho lalitali ili kumapeto, palibe amene adasamala. Ndikuganiza kuti anthu awiri adabweranso kwa ine ndikuti sizinali zawo. Anali kumapeto kwa Disembala 2021, ndipo ndinalibe chilichonse chopita patsogolo panthawiyo. Palibe, palibe mafilimu achidule, palibe mafilimu owonetsera; zimawoneka ngati zonsezi zatha. Ndinayamba kufufuza mafilimu ang'onoang'ono a bajeti, zomwe sindikanati ndiganizirepo kale, ndipo ndinawona kuti Christopher Nolan anachita filimu yaying'ono ya bajeti ndipo ngakhale analankhula za ndondomeko yake nayo. Ngati Christopher Nolan adachita, ndiye chiyani chimandipangitsa kukhala wabwino kwambiri?

Pambuyo pake ndinaganiza kuti ndingopanga filimu yokhayokha mwanjira iliyonse yofunikira. Sindilankhula za kupanga gawo kwa moyo wanga wonse monga momwe ambiri amachitira, ndipanga imodzi, ndipo ndipanga china chake chodabwitsa. Ndinangoyamba ndi lingaliro la "Mkazi amadzuka ku Gahena" ndipo ndinangoyamba kulemba. Ndidayamba kulemba Kubwezera Ndi Dzina Lake mu Januware 2022 ndikuyamba kuwombera patatha chaka, mu Januware 2023.

iH: Kodi kumathandiza Kubwezera Ndi Dzina Lake chosiyana ndi china chilichonse chomwe mwagwirapo ntchito kapena chomwe mwachiwona?

RS: Pali zambiri zomwe zimasiyanitsa izi ndi mapulojekiti anga am'mbuyomu komanso makanema ena kunja uko. Aka kanali koyamba kusonyeza luso langa lolemba. M'mafilimu anga afupiafupi, nthawi zonse ndimayesetsa kufotokoza nkhani mkati mwa mphindi khumi ndikuisunga kukhala yosangalatsa, yomwe ndi yovuta kwambiri. Pali nthawi zambiri zochititsa chidwi mufilimuyi zomwe sindinathe kuziwonetsa m'mafilimu anga aafupi. Ndimakonda kulowa mu psyche ya otchulidwa ndikuwonetsa mbali yeniyeni ya umunthu.

Mafilimu ambiri masiku ano amatsatira ndondomeko yomwe imayambira pamwamba pa kupanga ndi opanga. Ndikumvetsetsa kuti zisankho zabwino zamabizinesi ziyenera kupangidwa, koma filimu ikakhazikika, zotsatira zake zimakhala zoyipa kwambiri chifukwa makanema siwofanana ndi masamu.

ndi Kubwezera ndi Dzina Lake, sindinafunikire kutsatira equation iliyonse; Ndinatha kupanga kanema momwe ndimawonera. Ndinalibe wopanga aliyense wondiuza kuti, "Zombies ndi zotentha pompano! Onjezani zombie mmenemo! " Ndidayesetsa kuti filimuyi ikhale yowopsa komanso yowopsa komanso sewero lokhala ndi zojambulajambula zamtundu wanyumba. Sindinkafuna kuti filimuyi ikhale yosadziwika bwino moti ingosokoneza ndi kukhumudwitsa anthu, koma ndinayesetsa kuti ndiperekepo china chatsopano pa filimuyo.

iH: Ndi mbali iti yomwe inali yovuta kwambiri pa chithunzichi, ndipo munachigonjetsa bwanji? 

RS: Ndikhoza kuyankha funso ili ndi "zonse." Ndinali gulu la munthu mmodzi pafilimuyi. Sindinafune kukhala gulu la munthu m'modzi pachiyambi, koma ndipamene zidathera ndi zomwe ziyenera kuchitika kuti izi zitheke. Ndidakhala ndi chidziwitso chopanga pambuyo popanga ndipo ndimadziwa kuti nditha kuchita zambiri ndekha, koma sindinagwirepo ntchito ngati wojambula pakanema pamakabudula anga am'mbuyomu kapena ngati grip, gaffer, kapena munthu wamawu. 

Zinali ntchito yaikulu kwambiri kuchita zinthu zonsezi ndekha. Ndizovuta kuwongolera mukakhala ndi gulu lathunthu, koma tsopano kuchita china chilichonse ndi nkhanza, kunena pang'ono. Panalibe nthawi yopuma; Ndinayenera kusunga chiwonetserochi nthawi zonse. Ndinalibe wina woti ndipemphe thandizo la akatswiri pa chilichonse, choncho ndimayenera kudziwa zonse zomwe ndinkafuna tsiku lililonse komanso momwe ziyenera kuchitikira. Sindinkadziwa zambiri za makamera kapena kuyatsa izi zisanachitike, ndipo nditangozindikira kuti sindidzakhala ndi wojambula kanema, ndinayenera kuphunzira zonse ndekha.

Ndinayamba kuonera mavidiyo, kuwerenga nkhani, kwenikweni chilichonse chimene ndikanatha kuphunzira za kuyatsa ndi mmene angachitire ndi ndalama zochepa kwambiri. Ndinayenera kuphunzira zonse za kamera yomwe ndimagwiritsa ntchito, yomwe inali Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k. Ndinayeneranso kuchita zonsezi miyezi iwiri ndisanayambe kuwombera. Zonse zidatsikira momwe ndimafunira moyipa komanso ngati nditi ndisiye pamaso pa mdani kapena kupitilizabe.

Anthu ambiri akadasiya chifukwa chofuna kukhala ndi anthu ogwira nawo ntchito, ndipo amafunika kumverera ngati kuwombera kwakukulu, koma sizomwe filimuyi inali yokhudza. Zinali zokhuza kupanga zinazake ndikuwonetsa zomwe zingachitike mutapereka zonse. Chopinga chilichonse chinatsika ndikungodutsamo ndikusalola chilichonse kuti chigwetse filimuyo.

iH: Mukugwira ntchito chotsatira? 

RS: Kunena zowona kotheratu, ndiribe chilichonse chomwe ndikugwira ntchito pakadali pano kupatula filimuyi. Nthawi zonse ndimakhala ndi malingaliro omwe ndikadakonda kutsatira, koma cholinga changa chachikulu pakali pano ndikumaliza Kubwezera ndi Dzina Lake ndikuwonetsetsa kuti ndilobwino kwambiri lomwe lingakhale. Zonse zikatha ndipo zimapita kudziko lapansi, zonse zimachoka m'manja mwanga.

Ndichita chilichonse chomwe ndingathe kuti filimuyi iwonekere komanso pagulu la anthu okonda zoopsa. Ndikufuna kuyipatsa mwayi wopambana, ndipo ndikukhulupirira kuti nditha kuyipeza pamaso pa anthu omwe angakonde. Ndakhala ndikudzifunsa ngati ntchito yomwe ndimadziganizira ndekha ndiyowonanso ndi kuchuluka kwa zinthu zomwe zikusintha mumakampani. Sindikufuna kupanga filimu ina monga momwe ndinapangira iyi, ndipo monga momwe ndinaphunzirira komanso kusangalala kuti ndinachita motere, si njira yabwino yokhalira ndi moyo.

Ndikufuna kuchita ntchito zazikulu ndikupitiriza kukwera makwerero, koma ngati anthu omwe ali pamwamba pa makwerero salola zimenezo, ndikusankhabe zomwe zidzatsatira. Mafilimu ndi masewera a timu kwambiri, ngakhale pamlingo wodziimira payekha. Mafilimu ndi kanema wawayilesi zakhala zikuchitika kwa zaka zopitilira zana, zomwe sizili kanthu mu dongosolo lalikulu la nthawi. Tikuwona makanema akuluakulu okhala ndi A-list star tank pamilingo yomwe sitinawonepo. Otsatira akhala akukana zomwe zatulutsidwa ndi zikwama zawo ndi zolembetsa zawo. Sindikudziwa kuti tsogolo langa kapena makampani ang’onoang’ono likhala bwanji, koma ndikuperekabe filimuyi chilichonse chimene ndingathe kuti ndisonyeze anthu kuti mafilimu abwino akupangidwabe.
