By far the most impressive visual effect in the movie was the transformation of the ultra buff Chris Evans into a man less than half his size. A mixture of a body double and CGI was used to create teh illusion which came to be referred to as £Skinny Steve". Check out the brief clip below to see how they went about it..



"Captain America: The First Avenger" comes home October 25 on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and digital download, and from now until then Marvel.com will bring you daily doses of Cap action!

Ironically , woman have told me 'Skinny Steve' is preferable- something to do with the diameter of his fore-arm. I don't know.

I work in VFX and to do all that paint work is amazing.

I believe it was a good idea but it failed badly. Looked like an oversized head in a tiny body. Like those in NBA JAM. Looked fake from a mile away IMO

@headlopper: Skinny!Steve is adorable. We (ladies) just want to cuddle him and make it all better. Super!Steve is hot. We just want to defile him. Best of both worlds, wrapped up in one package.

@xeno- I AM Steve Rodgers! Now let's discuss a meeting place...

@headlopper: But are you Skinny!Steve or Super!Steve? Either one is good, I swear, but I need to know this....

Interesting how he wore scaled-up clothes so the proportions would match when they digitally shrank him.

@headlopper Come again? I think both skinny!Steve and holy-crap!Steve are equally preferable. It only depends on your preferences.

I think they did an amazing job with the effects. I'm still not sure, however, if this meant it was all CGI or if there was a body double that eventually went back and did all the same things.

@xeno & @EmpressSkeith- Let's put it this way...I'm both when the lights are out!

They tried both. By the actual skinny Steve you must mean Leander Deeny!.

JLA2014 hopes the world will end in 2012 so he doesn't have to live with the shame.

Everytime I see great SFX with real actors and real sets all interacting with one another, I immediately think

"F@$* you, George Lucas"

Brilliantly done only in the US .

Best part of the film. His origin was handled well, the FX were awesome and Evans played it good. It's almost as if a different director and writer took over once he got the serum.

I loved this scene by far. To see chris evans portrayal of "skinny steve" metamorphosize into the gargantuan titan captain america! Truly a delight to see!

I thought the effect was awesome.

About JLA2014, the problem isn't his wishing. Is his stupid trolling on every single marvel article.

Come on couldn't you see the airbrush feeling those scenes had? You can also see the effect on Tron 2 with Bridge's copy and even on Terminator's Last movie.
