Unraveling The VFX Behind The Marvels
DescriptionA quest to save the universe and an entanglement of powers form the backdrop for Carol Danvers' enthralling journey in the MCU’s latest, The Marvels. In this session, Wētā FX’s VFX Supervisor Sean Walker and Sequence VFX Supervisor Sabine Laimer will share their experience working with Marvel to bring the third act to life.
Leading a cross-departmental team of artists, Sabine will explore how initial post-production began with the team building sequences on their mocap stage and combining the actions beats with new concept art, and pre and postvis to give new energy to the story.
Working on nearly every MCU film Wētā has been involved with, Sean brings a history of Marvel knowledge and is an expert in bringing together photoreal VFX blockbuster films. With production taking place in the pandemic, Sean will discuss how use of high quality digi-doubles was integral to keeping this film on track and fulfilling the vision for the film.
As their power entanglement creates for a chaotic third act fight-sequence, FX work was key to identifying each of our hero characters amongst the fast paced action. Sabine and Sean will touch on how they developed the unique look for each powerset as they battle to save the world.
