“Minho! Lennox came looking for you? Didn’t that guy say anything strange?”
As soon as I arrived at the filming site, I ran into Jackson Reed, who was looking around.
There was concern in his voice, as if the staff had sensed the unusual atmosphere in that short period of time and had spoken to him.
I shrugged and pretended not to know anything.
“He came to visit me, but his expression suddenly got worse and he ran out alone. You look unwell.”
“Really? If you look at what he usually does, he isn’t the kind of person who will go away so easily… ”
“The complexion looks pale. At first glance, it seemed like he was leaving work after asking for understanding from Director Hartman… ”
“It’s better. Even if that guy stays on site, the atmosphere will only get worse. I like to meddle with things, but I have a lot of complaints.”
First of all, it was annoying so I tried to get rid of it, but fortunately, it seems like there weren’t any people needed at the scene where the cookie video was being filmed.
Rather, Jackson Reed seemed to like not having to see his face.
Just by looking at it, I could see how stressed he had been.
“Anyway… All of the equipment provided by Awaken is being used for the first time, so I don’t know if filming will be completed quickly. I think I need some time to get used to it.”
Jackson Reed fiddled with his suit and Dream Vision with an awkward expression.
I looked at it happily and made an assurance.
“It will be over faster than you can imagine.”
Awaken’s technology was not just about implementing vivid VR graphics through Dream Vision. That alone was amazing, but the technological prowess of the science fiction world did not simply stop there.
The fact that it is possible to implement a realistic VR environment means that it is also possible to implement a realistic CG.
If Maria’s computing power was applied there, things beyond imagination were possible.
“That would be great. Well, this is the end of today’s schedule anyway, so I guess I can just take it slow.”
He muttered, looking like he wasn’t expecting much.
He must have also used Dream Vision. However, since I only experienced pre-produced content, I seemed to have no idea how I could use it in actual acting.
This was something that could be seen immediately when you started acting while wearing the Dream Vision helmet.
“Good lighting! Is the camera ready?”
“Yes, we are ready!”
“Good! Actors, please stand by right now!”
While we were talking, Director Hartman, who was finally ready to film, called us.

‘Still, I’m glad it’s not uncomfortable to move around. Because it was filmed on a set, it was easy to get immersed in it.’
Jackson Reed thought as he leaned against the remains of a building.
More than half of Still Heart’s filming took place in front of a green screen. This was unavoidable due to the various special effects and battle scenes that appeared in the movie.
In particular, it was impossible to actually create the movement of Steelheart’s exoskeleton suit, which is his main weapon, so CG had to be used more actively.
Of course, Jackson Reed also often acted while wearing a green motion capture suit.
I was able to film thanks to my professionalism, but honestly, the motion capture suit, which kept sticking to my skin due to sweat and exposing my entire body, was honestly the worst thing to wear for long periods of time while acting.
However, unlike existing motion capture suits, the equipment provided by Awaken could be worn like ordinary clothes.
Since it was guaranteed to be durable, it also had the advantage of being able to comfortably lean on a rough lump of concrete covered in dust.
Thanks to this, from an acting standpoint, Awaken’s equipment was much more comfortable.
‘Of course, if I’m not satisfied with the shooting results, I’ll have to go back to being that uncomfortable Jjoljjol again.’
“Ready… Action!”
Director Hartman’s signal was given to Jackson Reed, who had just finished preparing for filming.
And at the same time, his vision while using Dream Vision changed in an instant.
Crackle crackle.
Grumbling~
Why!
Flames burning inside the remains of the building. Smoke filled the city as far as the eye could see. Even the faint sound of a siren can be heard from afar.
The set, which was simply piled up with concrete blocks, was transformed into a real battle scene with a villain.
‘Was it even possible to this extent? ?’
Even the jumpsuit-like clothes he was wearing had been transformed into Steelheart’s exoskeleton suit.
The feeling of being dropped into another world with a signal from the director.
Through my still senses of touch and smell, I was able to tell that the suits and smoke I could see were fake.
An ordinary person would have been surprised by the sudden change and would have given a negative response, but he was a Hollywood star.
As soon as the signal went off, I succeeded in immersing myself in Steel Heart in an instant.
In fact, in a corner of his mind, he felt a passing regret as he wondered if the quality of the film would have been higher if he had started filming from the beginning with this kind of technology.
“Ha… shit. This was my regular store. It completely collapsed.”
Steelheart leaned against the remains of a collapsed building and muttered.
The beginning of the cookie video was a scene where Steelheart was taking a rest at the ruined site after the battle with the villain.
Still, the store owner had already evacuated.
Then, once the building is restored, you will be able to visit this store again like always.
Steelheart would have done that.
He took a cigarette out of the suit’s storage compartment, put it in his mouth, and placed his finger on the end of the cigarette.
As a smoker, he even installed an ignition function into the suit he wears during his hero activities.
Push tasting…
But was it because the battle with the villain was so intense? The damaged suit did not work properly and only made a squeaking noise.
“Nothing works.”
The moment he grumbled and tried to remove the cigarette from his mouth.
“Do you need money?”
Chi Ikㅡ
An Asian man approached me without pretending to be a ghost, put his finger on the end of the cigarette he was holding and lit it.
“What are you?!”
Of course, Steelheart was startled by the sudden appearance of an unidentified person and jumped up from his seat.
The cigarette that had been lit fell out of Steelheart’s mouth without a trace.
The man playfully blew out the flame that was blooming at the tip of his finger and said,
“Too bad I dropped it. They even lit it on fire.”
“… I’m not in the mood for jokes right now. What is it? Are you a subordinate of the Black Titan?”
Black Titan was the name of the villain he had just defeated.
As the head of a huge criminal organization, he was not only a powerful superpower himself, but also had several villains as his subordinates.
It was clear that Steelheart, who knew most of the psychics in this city, would have a high probability of being involved with the first psychic he met.
‘Damn, my suit is broken and I can’t use my power… ‘
Steelheart looked down at the clattering suit and prepared himself for a preemptive strike if necessary.
However, the opponent was showing a relaxed attitude regardless of whether Steelheart was nervous or not.
“Bukharayo. I am… ”
The moment a man opens his mouth in a relaxed manner.
“Here! I found Steel Heart!”
“Everyone gather together!”
“I will avenge the boss!”
“Who is the guy next to me?”
“It doesn’t matter! Kill them all!”
“… … !”
The remnants of the Black Titan appeared beyond the rubble of the building.
They don’t seem to be villains with special powers, but there are a lot of them, so now that their suits are broken, they have no choice but to struggle.
Jackson Reed, who played Steelheart, couldn’t help but be truly surprised.
‘It’s like a real person.’
According to what was communicated in advance, those remnants are pure graphics. However, from what I can see now, each and every one of them was giving vivid acting as if they were real extra actors.
Still, as a Hollywood actor, he sublimated even his momentary confusion into an expression of surprise at the sight of the remains.
“… From what they say, it doesn’t seem like they are the Black Titan’s subordinates. Then run away quickly. I’ll take charge of this place.”
But despite his words, the man did not back down. Instead, he stepped forward, covering Steelheart with his body.
“That wouldn’t be a bad thing, but I want to talk to you as soon as possible.”
Grumbling~
The man who said that had his entire body engulfed in flames that started from his feet.
Although I couldn’t feel the heat, it was a vivid scene, as if I was standing in front of a real fire.
Then he raised his arm and snapped his fingers.
Perfect!
Kwaaa!!!
With the sound of a finger snapping, a storm of flames swirled around Steelheart and the man.
“Ugh… !”
Although the heat did not reach Steelheart, it was so powerful that my lips felt dry just by looking at it.
The man who had defeated all the remnants in an instant turned around.
Before he knew it, he was wearing a suit with a design that resembled the flames that enveloped his body.
“My name is Ignis. Steelheart, I’ve come to see you.”
