所以，你想问：人家电影上映，跟Fenix有啥关系呢？问得好，下面就是答案咯！
恐怖片多在较暗多环境下拍摄，《女巫布莱尔》也不例外，那么，这时选择一个好的照明设备就显得尤为重要了。近日，华尔街日报的专栏记者Mike Ayers，写了一篇关于惊悚片续集《女巫布莱尔》电影导演Adam Wingard和影片摄影师Robby Baumgartner选定Fenix PD35，为片中漆黑环境提供照明的原因，以及Fenix PD35是如何出色表现的文章。
<以下为记者Mike Ayers所写文章>
In “Blair Witch,”the present-day sequel to the 1999
low-budget horror breakout “TheBlair Witch Project,” viewers are once again
taken on a“found-footage” romp through the backwoodsof Burkittsville,
Md., in search of the supernatural entity of thetitle. Over the course of
90 minutes, six characters find themselves invarious states of panic
and terror. Most of the action takes place in thepitch dark, which
gives way to an unsung hero of the “Blair Witch”resurrection: The Fenix
PD35 flashlight.
《女巫布莱尔》是为1999年的一部成功的低成本恐怖片“TheBlair Witch Project”拍摄的现代版续集， 在新片中，观众再一次被带到马里兰州Burkittsville镇的蛮荒林地，寻找电影名称里这种超自然生物。影片长达90分钟，其中的6个演员说他们在拍摄时经历了不同程度的恐惧感。由于影片的大部分情节都是在漆黑的环境中拍摄的，给片中的无名英雄创造了极佳的拍摄条件――那就是Fenix PD35手电。
This LED light, which retails from $75 to $139.95,
depending on the type of battery youget, was an integral part in bringing
“Blair Witch” to life ― and a tricky one,too. Director Adam Wingard and
cinematographer RobbyBaumgartner tested close to 20 different flashlights
beforesettling on the Fenix PD35.
这款LED手电的零售价格从75美元到139.95美元不等，取决于里面所用的电池。可以说，这款手电在影片中起到不可或缺的作用，同时，使用起来也非常考验技术。导演Adam Wingard和影片摄影师Robby Baumgartner测试了将近20种不同的手电后，才最终选定了Fenix PD35。
“We had to go through a ton ofdifferent flashlights and brands until we found one that didn’t create aconsistent flicker [on the camera lens], so we had a clear image,” Wingardsays.
“审查了大量不同品牌的手电之后，我们终于找到一款符合我们要求的手电，它不会像其他手电那样，在镜头上产生闪烁的光，这样我们才能拍出清晰画面。”Wingard告诉我们。
《女巫布莱尔》片中人物使用Fenix PD35
“Blair Witch” was shot on location in32 days
near Vancouver, British Columbia. Baumgartner
estimatesthat 25 days were shot at night, with more than 80% of those nights
lit onscreen by the Fenix model. The flashlights, thus served a dual purpose:
toilluminate the shots, but also be a part of the narrative since the
charactersbrought them into the woods as camping tools.
《女巫布莱尔》拍摄期为32天，拍摄地点位于大不列颠哥伦比亚省的温哥华。Baumgartner告诉我们大约25个拍摄日都是在晚上，其中80%产生在荧幕上的灯光效果都是来自Fenix产品。
《女巫布莱尔》影片中部分使用Fenix PD35的片段
“With actors
essentially lighting thebackground, themselves and each other, it was paramount
to get this right orthe film would look like shit,” Baumgartner says. “It took a bit of
trial anderror to figure out how to make the best of a tricky cinematic
situation.”
“由于在影片中，演员本身能够对背景，自身，其他角色产生一定的光照，所以处理好整个画面的整体灯光效果尤为重要，否则整部影片都会很糟糕。”Baumgartner说道，“经过一些尝试和错误之后我们就能知道怎样才能拍出最佳的电影画面。”
Baumgartner and Wingard had to spendtime teaching the
actors how to use the flashlights. “It’s not a talent thatcomes natural,” Wingard says. “I’ve seen actors that have been able to pickthis up right
away, I’ve seen actors that get annoyed with it. You’reconstantly telling them not just to shine here and
there, but sometimes you’relighting up your
fellow actor that’s standing next to
you.”
Baumgartner 和 Wingard 首先要花时间告诉演员们怎么去使用手电。“不是每个人一拿着手电都会用的”Wingard说，“我见过有些演员一下子就上手了，我也看到有些演员对这玩意及其不耐烦。你不停地告诉他们别拿着手电到处乱照，结果有时候自己都会照到身旁的演员。”
The filmmakers also developed on-settricks to help
illuminate scenes. Baumgartner created a vest-type cloth thatthe actors would
wear off camera and would help the on-camera actorknow where to point
the light.
影片制作人自己发明了一个在拍摄现场的照明小技巧，只要在镜头之外的演员穿上一种背心夹克，在镜头范围内的演员就知道应该把手电指向哪里。
“We had a week of rehearsals before,because the shooting
style was so different,” says Wes Robinson, whoplays Lane in the film. “It felt
really raw and creative. It didn’t feel likeyou’re making a studio film.”
“由于这部影片拍摄的方式比较特别，所以在这之前我们有一个星期的排练时间”，在影片中扮演Lane 的Wes Robinson说， “拍摄方式很创新，所以很没有经验，感觉都不像在拍电影”。
Wingard says the original “BlairWitch” cameras “could barely
handle shooting at nighttime,” but that, in
fact,helped create a realistic feel that grabbed audiences. “If you go back andwatch that film, you can see that they
are barely getting any exposure,which is actually scary in itself,” the director says. “It makes you
feellike there’s more darkness
around you and feels realistic for the experience ofbeing out in the woods.”
Wingard告诉我们，“这部创新的《女巫布莱尔》电影只能在夜晚的时候拍摄”，然而这其实更有利于创造一个真实的感觉来吸引观众，“如果你倒回去看这部电影，你会发现那些恐怖的片段也都仅仅是露出骨头而已，然而在拍摄现场其实也已经够恐怖的了。”导演说道，“在外面的森林中拍摄会让人觉得有夜晚会格外黑暗，也会让人觉得更加真实。”
Not only was the flashlight a bigstar on set, it also
made its way into the script. Screenwriter SimonBarrett, who has worked with
Wingard in the past on “V/H/S” and “TheGuest,” says he put notes into the script about what he
envisioned. “Usually Itried to
indicate in the script what I saw lighting the scene,” Barrett says.
除了在拍摄现场起到重要的作用，Fenix PD35也成功出现在电影剧本中。这部电影的剧本作家Simon Barrett此前和Wingard合作过“V/H/S” 和“The Guest”他将自己的所见所闻在电影剧本中做了注释，他说道，“我经常会在剧本中指出我所看到的灯光效果。”
For Fenix, this isn’t the first timethe trusty PD35 has
been featured onscreen. The flashlight has made appearancesin “The Walking
Dead,”“The Blacklist,” “Prometheus” and the latest “TeenageMutant Ninja Turtles”
film. It’s the company’s best-selling flashlightand is used in a
wide-range of professions, from law enforcement to janitorialservices.
According to Fenix vice president of sales, Patrick Cooper,they’ve never been
paid a sponsorship fee or product-placement fee for amovie.
“The thing that we’re really proud ofis that we don’t
promote it and they find us,” Cooper says.
对于Fenix来说，PD35这款明星产品已经不是第一次出现在电影屏幕上了。此前的《行尸走肉》《黑名单》《普罗米修斯》《忍者神龟》中都出现了这款手电的身影。作为公司里最畅销的一款手电，其应用范围广泛，从执法机关到清洁服务领域，都用得上这款手电。Fenix 经销商Patrick Cooper告诉我们他们从来没有为任何电影提供过任何赞助。“最自豪的是我们从来没有主动找电影方推广，反而是他们主动找到我们“Cooper说道。
