Ikeuchi at the movies
Ikeuchi Japan was present on their first movie set recently in order to create a mysterious misty atmosphere with spray technology.
The movie being filmed was the Japanese action movie “Revolver Lily” which is based on a Japanese novel.
During Obon, it is believed that the spirits of ancestors return to the earthly realm to visit their living relatives. Families clean and decorate their homes, and altars with offerings of food, drinks, and incense are set up to welcome the spirits. Lanterns are often lit on water or land to guide the spirits back to the world of the living.
Revolver Lily
“Revolver Lily” is a Japanese action movie which takes place in the year of 1924. The main character “Yuri” and the orphan “Shinta” are fighting their way through the Japanese army to unlock a secret treasure.
The director is Isao Yukisada. He is known for the movies “Go” (2001), “Parêdo” (2009) and Crying Out Love in the center of the world (2004).
Revolver Lily is staring the famous Japanese acress and singer, Haruka Ayase, who is known for her many roles in Japanese movies and drama series.
A mist combo
Ikeuchi Japan made a combination of two different kinds of mist; still and moving. In order to achieve this, two different kinds of spray nozzles were used in a mix of different droplet sizes and number of droplets.
By combining these two they were able to create a dynamic and mysterious scene with a natural looking mist. The mist effect was both used indoor and outdoor. By generating fog from the ground to the ceiling, and filling the space with fog using a hand-held spray device, Ikeuchi Japan could achieve a stage effect that matches the movie concept.
