in our previous video we talked about how Marvel's insecurities and indecisiveness sabotaged the work
of the VFX artists on Thor love and thunder but that doesn't mean there wasn't some excellent
VFX work accomplished like most Marvel movies Thor love and thunder was a massive project
30 months approximately 2,500 shots and 2 five different VFX vendors from all corners of the
[Music] world but love and Thunder's visual effects weren't just extensive
in number but also in variety ranging from digital
augmentations to set
extensions
[Music] it's a fully digital environment ilm stagecraft [Music]
work to crowd work and even a digital
baby [Applause]
[Music] [Music]
in fact if you watch these next clips and remove all the effects that they
tried to achieve practically like Thor fat belly here but had to be augmented
or adjusted to Marvel's like it all the little adjustments to superhero suits
and Powers all the extensive fantasy environments and photoreal digital
[Music] beasts the obvious digital Creations like this
spacecraft [Music] and the digital Hero characters that were map actors on set
the live action element you're left with in almost every shot is actually surprisingly
[Music] small
[Music] oh [Music]
in our previous video we talked extensively about love and Thunder's opening scene and
the barrage of changes and adjustments that led to
this relatively short 6 and 1/2 minute sequence requiring a whopping one 150
VFX shots and those are just the ones that weren't left on The Cutting Room
[Music]
floor but the truth of the matter is that almost
every single sequence in the movie required just as many VFX
shots because the 119 minute movie had around 2500 VFX shots and that is 21
VFX shots every minute which is 137 shots every 6 and 1/2
[Music] minutes [Music] that is an insane amount of work and all on an extremely strict
timeline especially considering they were doing re-shoot just 3 months before it was [Music]
released
but love and Thunder's main problem wasn't too much CGI or too little time to achieve it love
and thunderer's main problem was that it was trying to be silly and fun when Marvel wanted
it to be more serious and consequential it was aiming for a more adult audience when Marvel
wanted PG-13 it was trying to be out of this world when Marvel wanted it more down to earth and this
led to some scenes being Rewritten others being changed and others being cut completely resulting
in a final movie that feels like a mismatch of half-finished jobs rather than a fully completed
work
