DNEG’s VFX Supervisor Graham Page and Carlos Ciudad worked closely together to plan the project to the very last detail. They would breakdown the requirements of each sequence and design a plan/workflow accordingly. At each step of the planning process, they would do a self-assessment of their plan to ensure they were staying in line with the overall vision, and provide guidance to their crew.
For the New York City 2012 sequence, Daniel Pastore (DFX Supervisor) and his team, had to create a massive 360 degree environment that had to fit into the “Stark Industries aesthetic” and a digital matte painting of the entire city.
The decision of making such a massive environment was due the fact that the building was mostly made up of glass and this had a big impact on the overall look; since the building was going to reflect parts of the world which weren’t directly seen through the camera.
DNEG was tasked with creating a fully digital environment of the modern building interior, which was a particular challenge due to it being largely comprised of glass, meaning in-camera versions of the characters had to be tracked for every shot to allow for their reflections.
