being one of the most anticipated movies
of all time with a budget of 356 million
dollars avengers endgame was definitely
in store for some amazing vfx including
a revamped professor hulk i mean just
look at the detail in the way the paws
stretch and flex with the skin
incredible
hi i'm jamie gutierrez from fame focus
and this is a vfx breakdown of avengers
end game
[Music]
the sequence of tony stark lost in space
on the m ship was mostly done by
cinesite who created the lonely exterior
shots of the ship
and also retouched nebula's eyes to make
them blacker
[Applause]
[Music]
her robotic arm was added by them too
they also did the visual effects
sequence where she gets the orb and
damages her arm in the process
[Music]
sinister also took care of the chase
between hawkeye and the outriders
beneath the rubble of the avengers base
choreographing the interaction between
these eight limbed creatures was pretty
challenging they created multiple
animation cycles of the way the
outriders move which included running
climbing crawling and leaping the scenes
were blocked out first which basically
means key poses are created to establish
timing and placement of the characters
and props in a given scene or shot and
the animation was then later refined for
each creature
[Music]
one key aspect of cinesite's work was
the environments for example this shot
was made up of cg buildings vehicles and
multiple blue screen shots of extras
positioned on cards placed in nuke to
bulk out the shot
[Music]
the sequence that involved ant-man
giving tony a mild cardiac dysrhythmia
was also cinecites doing
[Music]
now despite how disappointing the
character may have been for some you
can't deny that the vfx on professor
hulk were absolutely insane
what was also insane was how many vfx
companies worked on the movie
14.
frame store developed their machine
learning technology in order to create a
quick first pass animation that could be
used to help filmmakers decide on the
edit before beginning the process of
refining keyframe animation was then
developed for over 60 shots of professor
hulk
this procedure of capturing the
performance was key for the animators
a new facial capture system was also
created by industrial light and magic
specifically to make smart hulk look as
close to actor mark ruffalo as possible
getting the right look and performance
also involved scans facial capture and
hand animation of the actor as well as
some concept art for reference
[Music]
digital domain and weta digital
incorporated new property software to
put more detail into the face
now seeing as the hulk's face is a lot
larger than bruce's
tiny changes to his face had a big
effect on the performance so a new
subset of facial shapes was built to
give animators more control in the
animation allowing them to achieve even
more complex and subtle expressions
when it came time to shooting captain
america fighting his younger self this
was all shot on a green screen sound
stage everything other than the bridge
floor they're standing on
and a set of stairs was green screen
[Music]
the only problem was all the detail
added in the amazing cg set made it more
confusing to follow the action on
close-ups so in order to get a cleaner
silhouette of the cap they had to go
back and sneakily do things like blur
areas and add more atmosphere to make
the caps pop out more for the cat
fighting the cap they filmed actor chris
evans fighting a stunt double and had
vfx company lola track evan's face onto
the stunt double's face
[Music]
and finally for the portal scene in the
end battle before tony stark does the
whole switcheroo with the infinity
stones wetter digital's digital map
painting department created completely
cg environments and rather than record
everyone and everything going on at once
in front of a green screen which would
be absolutely ridiculous they compiled
multiple passes that were each rendered
through their respective portals with
the same camera movement in order to key
together and parallax in this incredible
scene
