The world-famous sci-fi blockbuster "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will premiere in North America this week and is said to enter mainland China in January next year. Various marketing and promotion activities related to it have been launched. Not long ago, Anthony Daniels, the actor of the C-3PO robot, one of the iconic characters in the Star Wars series, disclosed that during the filming process, the film crew also purchased a 3D printer on site. Always available.
The 69-year-old British actor Anthony Daniels participated in the first part of the Star Wars as a C-3PO robot. Until now, the seventh one was absent. The robot C-3PO he appeared did not reveal his true feelings. But the sound and movement left a deep impression on the audience. According to Daniels, the C-3PO's casing is 3D printed in this film.
But in fact, considering the age of Daniels, director JJ Abrahams intends to let another actor put on the C-3PO shell, Daniels just need to talk on the side. "But I said, "I want to wear this shell, but it is more convenient. "So the production team completed the entire costume item in 3D printing. I think its weight is similar to the previous one, because the plastic is also very heavy." He revealed: "So it looks exactly the same as the previous shells, but there are also The difference is that it is a combination. It makes it easier and faster for me to put on and take off. This is very important because it is very hot when worn on the body."
3D printed C-3PO housing
It turns out that the use of 3D printing has greatly improved the shooting experience, especially since a large number of shots in the movie were taken in the desert. "The most terrible thing in the desert is the sand. They are pervasive and can even get into the joints of the C-3PO, causing terrible friction when moving slightly. But fortunately the C-3PO can reflect heat. And I still only pass the small peep. Look out the hole," he revealed. However, he said that since there is a 3D printer on site, the C-3PO case can be easily replaced if there is a problem. "The most important thing is that it is 3D printed, it is easy to prototype. When the props are made, you can try it first. If it is not suitable, it is not a big deal. Then print it. And it takes half a light to install a head. Hours, now 8 seconds is complete. I like it," he said.
Earlier C-3PO shell
There is no doubt that this is a huge improvement, and Daniels now recalls that the original C-3PO case is definitely a nightmare experience. It consists of 30 pounds of plastic and fiberglass and takes two hours to wear and take off each time. And it's still very expensive - in "Star Wars: Samurai Return", the production of the C-3PO's outer shell cost $300,000. With so much money, it's enough to buy a very good industrial grade 3D printer. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the director JJ Abrahams will let a 3D printer be ready for use at the filming site.
