Brand New DAREDEVIL Behind The Visual Effects Video Released

Earlier this year, the first season of Marvel's Daredevil premiered on popular video streaming service Netflix, and it was stunningly amazing. From the acting, to the fight choreography, the show was next to flawless in nearly every aspect. One such aspect was the visual effects for the show. In a big departure from the other films and shows set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Daredevil displayed a lot of gore and gritty visuals throughout its thirteen-episode run, and it all looked perfect. Now, Shade VFX, the company behind the show's visual effects, have released a six minute featurette, highlighting the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating these effects.

Shade VFX, who were nominated for an emmy for "Outstanding Visual Effects" for their efforts on Daredevil, produced over a thousand visual effects for the series, ranging from 'digital stunt doubles' (used in lieu of real stunt actors when stunts were too dangerous (i.e. Daredevil jumping from a rooftop), to city backdrops, to the blood and gore elements of the show. It really is interesting to hear professionals going into detail about exactly how they did things such as programming Nobu's chained blade (there was NO physical stand in for that when that scene was shot) to be affected by realistic physics, and how they do entire 3D replications of Charlie Cox's Daredevil.

Shade VFX have also worked on other high profile projects, such as The Wolverine, TMNT, the upcoming Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, Pixels, Chronicle, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, amongst many others.

You can check out the video, which features Shade VFX CEO/Executive VFX Supervisor Bryan Goodwin, and Shade VFX VP/Senior Executive Producer David Van Dyke, below:
