We're going to make superman look okay?
First thing you got to figure out is what's the suit going to look like especially [a] Modern one?
What's the s going to look like you have to honor?
What has been done and what the canon is and what the suit looks like had been around for a very long time
But yet at the same time you want to modernize it
But what was also really important is for it to sit in Kryptonian Society
We [really] very much one of the suit to have come from [someplace]
To come from that legacy of Krypton and so we had to create a world
Where that kind [of] outfit?
Was commonplace and rather than the traditional thing which is it was made out of the cloth that
His parents wrapped him in when he was sent off from Krypton in our version the superman suit is in a sense
it's like the foundation is the undergarment [that] all kryptonians wear it kind of like were they what a
Medieval Chainmail suit is to the knights of medieval times
That's the same as our our sort of superman suit which in fact has a chainmail motif on him red underwear
I probably looked at hundreds of
versions
With the underwear [I] mean I tried honestly said okay, well, let's see if we can make it work because it's superman
But it's that fine line of reinventing him
but still
Seeing him in there near the red cape
He has an s on his chest he [has] a blue suit he has red boots. He's superman. I love it
I think it's a a really good
modernization of something very classic
It's got a very alien feel to it while being recognizable as the suit that we know and love and bS
I don't know what it means is it I know superman or something right? What are you kidding me?
It's the symbol of hope
Traditionally you'd do a lot of sculpting and clay and make your mouths but for our superman that we want to do
The lions and the details to be extremely precise so we drew it all in a 3D
application in the computer
So we could get right into the detail and make sure it was looking exactly
how we wanted it to build the buckle the boot trim the
The belt everything was kind of obsessed over in every little detail if it's a [buckle] of somebody inside little bigger
Decrease the negative space especially to the color such a contrast and I give appearances
[soundly] [all] those work for eliminating any negative strings correct
We're going to literally this level but directly to the inside our lenses
So what we're looking at here is the superman suits the second camera test
And then as we got back from that we're going to make a few adjustments
For our next camera tip [if] we decided is that we didn't like this central shape, so we've cut that out
We've made a few adjustments to these lines here select like the idea that I had a more geometric
slightly
Harder stronger line through here a little bit like the cut lines of a human anatomy
We're making out buckle a little bit bigger and in general. We're just
Adjusting the thickness of a lot of these pieces so it really feels like you know
They're more integrated with the suits that they just sort of are like almost laughing embossing and [there's] just some general R&D work that
We're doing with the way that the cape attaches to the suit you know there's a lot going on here
[you've] trying to make something beautiful and sculptural disappear into
An impossibly thin you know Membrane here and make it all look as beautiful as possible because you know we're going to be
Really close up for a lot of the movie. So we're spending a lot of time and resources from getting that right it definitely
Pays respect to the classical details of the Superman costume that we're rendering it in a a high-tech
Current kind of a process [well] we went through months of you know putting the suit together and trying different
materials and [different] [sort] [of] you know styles and different lengths of K different size of s shield different asses and
Made this thing into something truly special it
has like a
Almost physical energy about it, and it affects people people will you know stand straighter or go?
Oh, hey, man, when they see you in the suit where you walk past them before not in the suit, and there's like hey
it's
something I can't quite put a word to it's remarkably comfortable what it is and
A little hot at point, but [the] great functional to move in it it looks good
Can we say much more?
