BODY CASTING AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS

Stumbled on this fascinating glimpse into body casting Jackie for Around the World in 80 Days. I recognise the head from the sequence on the steam engine in the beginning of the movies from the goggles outlined on them. But why would they also need a full body cast? For the same scene?

A suggestion was made for when the tablet from the statue of liberty 'squishes' Jackie near the end of the movie but that is so quick it doesn't have to be a life cast.

Ideas anyone?

ADDENDUM - just discovered the body casting was to mold the jetpack and helmet for ATW80D

February 2003, Babelsberg Studios in a freezing cold Berlin. It was my first proper feature film junket, Around the World in 80 Days. The prop-making department had to make a steam-powered jetpack and helmet for Jackie Chan to wear which would fit him perfectly, so a life cast of his head and body were required.

I’d been reading about Jackie in a magazine on the flight over. I found incredible the suggestion that he travels with three pairs of Y-fronts that he washes in the hotel sink. Imagine my surprise when having handed him some Speedos to get cast in, he returned in a saggy old pair of Y-fronts stating he’d keep the Speedos as they were nice.

Hair isn’t the ideal covering for anything you want to cast. Silicone rubbers that are more forgiving weren’t widely available then. To cast using alginate you have to smooth down all the hair with Nivea.

It’s not nice having your head or full body cast. It is uncomfortable, claustrophobic and undignified. He was a real star, he didn’t complain and was smiling throughout. Afterwards he sat around signing autographs and chatting with our little crew. What a gent.

Full body casts

Full bodies refer to casts of whole or nearly whole 3D bodies. These casts are used for statues, full body portraits, architectural features, art installations, exhibitions and in the TV and film industry. Like all my body casts they are suitable for both indoors and out, so they make the most fantastic sculptures for your home or your garden. Mostly I make these for exhibitions and the film industry, where they are used for prosthetic make-up, wounds, body parts, corpses, doubles etc. Most battlefield corpses are lifecasts (they don't need feeding or paying!). Amputees are used in war films, with prosthetic limbs explosively detached. It's all part of movie magic; smoke and mirrors and fair amount of silicone rubber!

Background Information on Yang Family Movie

I thought this was very interesting information on the historical background to the movie Jackie is producing (Directed by Frankie Chan)

Mu Guiying: Chinese Woman Warrior
(This is the role played by Cecilia Cheung)

“Her swinging sword flashes like nine falling suns shot by Yet the legendary bowman; she moves with the force of a team of Dragons driven by the gods through the sky; her strokes and attacks are like those of terrible thunder; and when she stops all is still as water reflecting the clear moonlight.”

— Tu Fu, “Viewing a Student of Madame Kung Sun”


The army of the Song dynasty was in the heat of a seesaw battle with the invading armies of a militant nomad state - the Great Liao from China's north. The Great Liao recruited a Song army advisor, Lu Zhong who knew how to deploy what he claimed to be an invincible battle array: the Heavenly Gate of Seventy-Two Moves, or simply the Array of Heavenly Gate ("Tianmen Zhen" in Chinese), and challenged the Song army to defeat it within a hundred days. Otherwise, they had to surrender their recently unified motherland to the Great Liao. In the Song army, there was a family of generals named Yang, who fought hard and victoriously in many a battle against the invading enemy. However, they were either sabotaged by the capitulation wing of the Song Court or distrusted by the Song Emperor. Eventually, the Yang army was defeated by the Liao with tremendous losses: all but three of the eight brother generals perished. One of the survived quit fighting and became a monk; another was captured by the enemy and became the Liao's first son-in-law. Yang Yanzhao was the only survivor who became the Commander-in-Chief. Except for the couple's very young sons, the positions of the generals missing in action were now filled by all the women of the family: Yanzhao's mother, his wife, his two sisters, and three of his brothers' widows. Together, they are known to the Chinese as the "Women Generals of the Yang Family.

They fought courageously and ferociously, but still failed to break the Seventy-Two Moves. As the hundredth day deadline was drawing near, an advisor remembered and recommended Mu Guiying, a young and beautiful greenwood chieftain in the nearby mountains, whose father had been a friend of the Great Liao's army advisor, Lu Zhong, and had been the only person on earth who knew how to break the Seventy-Two Moves formation. With her father's death, she became the only person who knew that secret. Her talent and skills soon made their due impression on friends and foes in her first battle. For the first time, the Song army had made a break-through against the formidable Seventy-Two Moves! The Commander-in-Chief thus decided to entrust his authority to Guiying.

Mu Guiying assumed the command without hesitation. Like a veteran general, she was composed and confident, calling the muster roll of officers and assigning them to different tasks. She taught and then ordered them to break the different moves of the formation one by one by the counter measures she knew. She did not forget to send a surprise detachment to cut off the enemy’s supply line by burning all their food and fodder to ashes. Lack of fodder, the Liao cavalry, the major component of their army, would be rendered useless. Without food, an army of tens of thousands strong could not sustain a protracted war out of its base. As for the base, the City of Youzhou lost to the Great Liao in a previous battle, she ordered a third army to recapture it and thereby ridding the Liao of its bridgehead to invade Song.

Then the Song army engaged the enemy in the final battle and won. Guiying, with her talent and gallantry, also won the hearts of her elders and her peers. Upon their triumphant return, the emperor greeted Guiying as well as the courageous men and women of the Yang Family in person, and conferred titles they well deserved. His majesty also gave Zongbao and Guiying a grand wedding.

The story has been told and retold in fictions and operas alike and known to the Chinese old and young. Of the many episodes the most popular have been “Mu Guiying Assuming Command” and “Yanzhao to Execute His Son.”

Jackie Movies and Chilean Miners and Hope

After THIS story broke yesterday on Twitter I searched out the source story and also to verify the question mark about psychologists picking the movies for the miners. I found the following:

The New York Times — August 27, 2010 — Even a tiny home theater is being funneled down in plastic tubes to occupy the 33 miners stuck in their subterranean home.

A miner on Thursday wrote the name of Juan Aguilar, one of the trapped miners, on a flag commemorating Chile’s bicentennial.

Chile is sparing no expense or attempted innovation in trying to rescue the miners trapped by a cave-in on Aug. 5, fully aware that the country — and the world — is closely watching the ordeal.

But like everything else being done to maintain the psychological health of the miners over the weeks or months they may remain nearly half a mile underground, officials will carefully control what they are exposed to, down to the messages they receive from their families or the kind of movies that might be projected on the wall of the mine.

“Movies are possible,” said Ximena Matas, a local city councilwoman. “But the psychologists will decide what movies they will see. It’s up to them if something like ‘Avatar’ would be too upsetting.”

SOURCE: MEDIASCRAPE.COM

and this:

Stories of hope and hardship of 'Los 33'

...........

Psychologists treating the men through telephone and video links from the surface were worried enough about them that they began filtering virtually everything family members sent down a relief shaft. Cheery letters were all right; notes about troubles at home were not. Some letters were never delivered and others were edited, according to Mr. Ojeda, who called the actions "unjust."

After about two weeks, the miners demanded that the censorship stop, arguing they were not as vulnerable as they seemed.

But medical officials remained cautious. Psychologists selected the movies that the men watched on a cloth hung on a cave wall using a smart-phone-size video projector. They were allowed to view Mr. Bean and Jackie Chan movies, but not films about natural disasters or terror.

"We wanted them to relax and enjoy, not get into deep reflection," said Alberto Iturra, the lead psychologist dealing with the miners. Eventually, the psychologists stopped filtering what went down the hole, feeling the men were stable enough.

Many fans can give witness to the feelings of positivity and hope watching Jackie can generate. Many have their own stories of how Jackie has inspired them to greater things, not give up, to keep trying and never give up.

If you have a story to relate of how Jackie or one of his movies gave you hope I would love to hear it.

French respond to Call from China about Relics

PARIS — France called Tuesday for the fate of relics looted with British forces from the Old Summer Palace in Beijing exactly 150 years ago to be discussed calmly after China renewed calls for their return.

"The pillaging of the Summer Palace was a tragedy and is part of the history shared by our two countries," foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Valero told journalists at a daily briefing.

It is also "a story that we can study together, scientifically and serenely," he said as China marked the 150th anniversary of the looting, seen as a cause of national humiliation at the hands of Western armies.

The Yuanmingyuan, a summer resort garden for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), was pillaged by a joint British and French military expedition during the second Opium War on October 18-19, 1860.

Valero said the world had given the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation UNESCO the means to resolve such conflicts, including a 1970 convention which remains "the judicial framework of reference for France."

"It is within this framework that we should, collectively, fight against this plague" of art thefts and protect "the cultural and artistic heritage that humanity has in common," he said.

The Yuanmingyuan park authority has called on museums to return looted items, and for a boycott on auctions featuring the relics.

A petition has been started and martial arts film star Jackie Chan has been brought in to support China's effort.

In February 2009, two bronze fountainheads looted from the palace that belonged to late French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge were auctioned at Christie's for about 20 million dollars each.

The sale enraged Beijing, which accused the house of regularly selling smuggled Chinese relics. The mystery Chinese bidder later said he would not pay and the items were returned to Berge.

Summer Palace to pursue stolen treasures

Yuanmingyuan officials issued a call Monday for China to pursue treasures stolen from the site, also known as the Old Summer Palace, about 150 years ago.

The proposal called on entities and individuals that possess those stolen treasures to return them to China. It also called on people all over the world to boycott auctions and not to buy or sell Yuanmingyuan relics.

It was issued by the Yuanmingyuan Park authority at a gathering held last night in front of Dashuifa (Great Fountains), the palace's biggest attraction.

A drive to collect signatures of supporters was initiated Monday and will last one year. Jackie Chan, a famous kung fu movie star, was invited to act as a spokesman for the effort and he was the first to sign.

The proposal came during a month of commemorative activities. Under the theme "Peace, cooperation and harmony," a series of commemorative activities including academic conferences, exhibitions and Sino-foreign culture exchanges are being held in Beijing through the end of this month, the Xinhua News Agency reported.

Located in northwest Beijing, Yuanmingyuan, which workers started building in 1709, was once a resort for imperial families in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Yuanmingyuan was pillaged and burned down by British and French troops on October 18 and 19, 1860, and again sacked in 1900, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces - troops sent by Britain, the US, Germany, France, Tsarist Russia, Japan, Italy and Austria - occupied Beijing.

Experts estimated that about 1.5 million pieces of relics were stolen and taken to many countries.

In 2006, the Yuanmingyuan Administrative Office called for the public to donate lost treasures and 85 pieces of previously lost treasure were recovered from universities, public institutions and citizens in Beijing.

The total number of the pieces of recovered treasure stands at about 150, according to the Beijing News.

Last year, the office sent a group of researchers overseas to look for those lost treasures.

The plan, however, fell apart after their first stop in the US because some overseas museums reportedly refused to cooperate.

The lost treasures were repeatedly sold in auctions overseas. Last year, two controversial relics, the heads of a rabbit and a rat, were auctioned in Paris for 14 million euros ($17.92 million).

They are among 12 animal head sculptures that formed a zodiac-themed water clock decorating the Calm Sea Pavilion in Yuanmingyuan.

So far, five heads that appeared in auctions have been bought and returned to China but the other five remain missing.

Xie Chensheng, an expert at China Cultural Heritage Association, said searching for lost treasures takes time.

"We should reserve the right to take those illegally exported treasures back," he said. "But we need to be patient."

　　艰苦，是王放放眼中《辛亥革命》阜新戏份最大的特点。他透露，影片在海州露天煤矿的拍摄场地非常特殊，“名为露天煤矿，实际上我们却猫在煤矿的最里面。影片的主要片场深入煤矿几百米的底层坑道中，四周都是巨大的矿坑。”战争场面自然少不了枪炮效果的营造，“基本上一个爆炸下来，全组的人全都变成了‘黑人’，动作戏跟滚煤球差不多；有时候演员甚至得憋着气演，因为煤灰进嘴里后，整个人呼吸都会很困难。”国ñ98;长假期间，《辛亥革命》剧组就在这样的环境里，拍摄了占全片三成戏份的数场战役，“基本上每天一收工，大家要做的第一件事就是洗澡，漱口，挖鼻子，掏耳朵。”
