Captain Marvel is expected to blast past $1 billion at the worldwide box office this weekend and that's obviously an epic result for the latest Marvel Studios movie. Now, another gallery of VFX images have been released and while we don't get any "before" shots here, we do get a closer look at both Hala and Carol Danvers blasting into action in her Binary form.
ILM VFX Supervisor Craig Hammack told
Art of VFX this about bringing Binary to life:
"The Captain Marvel shots are a combination of all CG shots, CG shots with projected facial performances, and practical shots where we augmented her suit/skin/hair and put the binary energy over and around her. Generally, flying shots in the distance are all CG. The closeup flying shots are CG but with a facial mesh driven by a performance by Brie captured in a 3-camera array and solved to get a moving mesh that we could then re-project the footage on to, and add additional interactive and relighting passes to. And the more hero non-flying shots are Brie’s real performance closely match-animated so that we could either replace her suit and hair with CG or in some cases just add interactive lighting passes onto her plate suit and hair."
It's incredible to think about the sheer amount of work that must have gone into creating CGI heavy scenes like that one and Hala looks surprisingly realistic and is hopefully a planet we'll be able to return to down the line (presumably in a Captain Marvel sequel if it remains in the past).
