completing over 300 VFX shots Framestore
certainly bit of a nice chunk of the VFX
work in avengers endgame from helping to
breathe life into a smart hulk to
completely replacing costumes what yep
these guys certainly know their stuff so
it's no wonder they ended up working on
such an amazing project hi I'm Jaime
Gutierrez from fame focus and this is a
VFX breakdown of Avengers end game part

Framestore with the original developers
of the character rocket back in
guardians of the galaxy vol 1 giving him
a slight upgrade for vol 2 for avengers
endgame Framestore have given him yet
another upgrade this time making him
little grayer care needed to be taken
not to overdo any tweaks to the
character too much and he ran the risk
of looking like a totally different
character they also gave his suit a
refresh adding goggles and a red scarf
lovely
next up is the quantum suits made of
high-tech armored cloth and carbon fiber
that we see them wearing to travel
through the quantum realm fun fact for
you
they weren't even wearing them nope for
these shots the actors just for their
everyday casual superhero costumes why
you may ask well the most logical
explanations are timing flexibility and
convenience having fully CGI costumes
would have meant that they weren't
locked into any specific design nor did
they have to wait for costumes to be
made they could also incorporate the
nanotech effects more seamlessly as
seeing as they needed to create
photo-real costumes for transitions
anyway just tracking them to the actors
for the rest of the scenes kind of makes
sense that would be my guess anyway so
reasons aside to achieve this frame
store built digital doubles for each
character then set about building the
suits based on concepts provided by
Marvel Studios their Ant Man esque
helmets that look like they were made
from a mix of nanobots and guardians
Tech look pretty good although I
personally think they could have
improved it a tiny bit by adding a
little head gel from the inertia of the
helmet when it flips forwards at the
moment the actors just stay completely
still no movement here's a really
doggedly edited version of his head
jolting versus non jolting let us know
in the comments which one you think
looks more natural
now brushing aside this costume swap
been there done that let's talk about
what Framestore did to bring back the
quantum van from ant-man in the wasp
frame still used scans of the original
to build the whole model on they used
nuke to get it to look as close as the
original as possible and then decided
which elements needed to be 3d for the
quantum effects they used a mixture of
optical effects aberrations color break
up heat distortions and even their own
blue plasma for the big quantum gate
time travel portal this effect was
magnified and had to integrate with the
Avengers shrinking and falling down into
it to achieve this they had to use a lot
more optical effects such as heat
distortions atmospheric smoke time
echoes and lens tilts with a few flares
for good measure in order to key it all
together nicely frame still also worked
on the super realistic smart Hulk to get
the ball rolling they developed their
machine learning technology to learn
source footage of Mark Ruffalo through
then to create a soul in order to match
it in animation with this technique they
were then able to create a first pass of
animation that would help filmmakers
decide on the Edit in order to begin
adding face shapes to use in the rig the
build of his face was challenging as
it's not as simple as having Mark
Ruffalo wear a whole costume with the
face cut out it just looks silly Ruffalo
and Hulk's face shapes are actually
quite different for example Hulk has a
bigger mouth and deeper eye sockets so
tiny changes to Ruffalo's face actually
had a huge effect on smart holds
performance so a new subset of facial
shapes was created with more complex and
nuanced expressions to give animators
that extra bit of control that they
needed please give us a like if you
