From bringing Jurassic Globe's all-also-real raptors back from extinction to rendering Blackness Panther'due south Wakanda in dizzying particular, the apply of light-green screens in the field of visual effects (VFX) helps create unbelievably "real" movie magic.
Using this special technique, two distinct images or video streams can be layered (or, as the pros say, composited) together, assuasive filmmakers to put anything they tin dream up on screen. Take a peek behind the scenes of your favorite Hollywood blockbusters to see what iconic moments wait like before the VFX team works their magic. Spoiler: It's ridiculous!
Tiger and Scenery from Life of Pi
Directed past visionary filmmaker Ang Lee, 2012'due south Life of Pi earned more than than $609 1000000 worldwide and clinched 4 of its eleven Oscar nominations. In the film, a young Indian man named "Pi" Patel tells a novelist his life story.
At historic period 16, he survived a shipwreck and, adrift in the Pacific Ocean, shared a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger — a.thousand.a. a lumpy, blue screen-coated stuffed animate being. "Every shot was artistic exploration," said VFX Supervisor Neb Westenhofer. "To brand the sea a graphic symbol and make it interesting, we had to strive to make information technology as visually stunning every bit possible."
Rocket Raccoon in the Guardians of the Milky way and Avengers Films
The fast-talking, (arguably) saltiest member of the Guardians of the Milky way is Rocket Raccoon. Smart and easily annoyed, he is voiced past Bradley Cooper, but all of his lines are recorded in a studio — far away from maquettes and green screens.
Much like wolf-Jacob from the Twilight Saga, Rocket has a human stand up-in instead of an inanimate prop. This means the other actors have someone to interact with, and as a bonus, VFX artists tin can utilize the motion capture performers facial expressions and (sometimes) gestures if needed. In this scene, though, about of the mo-cap performer was completely removed from the motion-picture show, thanks to that clothing greenish screen.
Virtually Everything in Gravity
This 2013 space thriller was directed by Alfonso Cuarón and starred Oscar winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts who get stranded in space afterwards their space shuttle is destroyed. Unsurprisingly, the 7-time Academy Accolade-winning film cleaned up when it came to special furnishings.
As viewers lookout man Bullock struggle to return to Earth, they forget that most of what they're looking at is computer-generated. According to VFX supervisor Tim Webber, a staggering 80% of Gravity consists of CGI. Moreover, to simulate the way unfiltered light in space reflects off objects, the effects team manually controlled a lighting system made of 1.8 million LED lights.
Dinosaurs in Jurassic World — Before
Sci-fi adventure film Jurassic World (2015) is the fourth flick in the Jurassic Park series, which debuted way back in 1993. Set 22 years later on the classic Steven Spielberg film, Jurassic Globe holds to a like premise: A theme park full of cloned dinosaurs is plunged into utter anarchy when a dangerous dino escapes from its enclosure.
Although the picture show price a whopping $150 million to make, all those VFX dinosaurs paid off — literally. Jurassic World generated $1.half dozen billion in box office acquirement, making it one of the highest-grossing films of all fourth dimension.
Dinosaurs in Jurassic Globe — After
In the original film, the VFX were done by George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic — the technical wizards responsible for the amazing visuals in the Star Wars films. A new engineering was introduced for Jurassic Park — Dinosaur Input Devices, which were models that fed data into computers, allowing them to breathing the creatures like cease motion puppets.
Similar with the original films, Jurassic Earth relied on a mixture of animatronic dinosaurs and calculator-generated ones. One added benefit? Motion capture technology. In this scene, Chris Pratt'southward character wards off some raptors, which were "played" by actors in suits and shot confronting a light-green screen.
Heroics in Spider-Man: Homecoming
Fifty-fifty your friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man needs a helping mitt at times. For Spider-Man: Homecoming, the VFX teams wanted to accomplish new heights and even studied translucent polar bear pilus to give Spidey'south webs a realistic wait.
In order to give the film a different feel from the webslinger's previous forays, executive producer Victoria Alonso thought about doing abroad with Sony Pictures' ImageWorks, but afterward existence impressed past their work, she enlisted the studio — alongside a dozen other VFX vendors. With more 2,000 VFX shots in the film, Alonso insisted that "collaboration was key" — and she was correct.
The Wolves in the Twilight Saga
Whether you're "Squad Edward" or "Team Jacob," you lot tin can definitely agree that this behind-the-scenes shot from the Twilight films is… uncomfortable. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) pats Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) on the head — because that'due south fashion more than comfortable than patting a stand up-in domestic dog or a maquette, right?
For all of his wolf scenes, Lautner — whose grapheme shifts from homo to canine course — donned a gray morph suit and acted out every wolf-like movement. In the age of mo-cap professionals, this is sort of surprising. Perchance Lautner is merely really method to the core?
Mustafar Lightsaber Duel in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith — Before
The Star Wars prequel films clue fans into a lot of important information, but, above all else, they middle on Jedi Anakin Skywalker's (Hayden Christensen) descent to the dark side. Episode Iii promised to transform the immature Jedi Knight into the legendary Darth Vader, which was no modest feat.
Fans were waiting expectantly to meet how Anakin would betray those closest to him — as well as the Jedi Order and longtime mentor and pal Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). In true Star Wars fashion, Anakin's journey ended in a legendary lightsaber fight to the death — sort of.
Mustafar Lightsaber Duel in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith — After
To prepare for the about 8-minute long sequence, McGregor and Christensen trained relentlessly to become the choreography downwardly pat. Fighting with wooden dowels, the duo climbed effectually on wooden blocks and jumped from green object to green object.
In the final film, the duo fights on the lava-filled planet Mustafar, venturing from a landing pad to a control center and then out onto the mill ramparts, which teeter over streams of molten lava and fire. This makes the fight sequence — and the actors' portrayal — all the more than impressive when you lot realize it was basically the two of them batting at each other with sticks in a greenish room.
Josh Brolin's Thanos in Avengers: Endgame
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the ultimate "big bad" of the long-running drove of films ends up being Thanos (Josh Brolin), a destroyer of universes. Thanos searches the galaxy for the Infinity Stones, hoping to use their power to magically snap away half of the universe's population.
While nosotros expected Brolin (or a body double) to article of clothing a pretty all-encompassing motion capture adjust to capture the hulking titan's mannerisms, we didn't wait him to vesture a cardboard cutting-out of Thanos' caput loftier above his own. The reason for the strange option? It was a clever manner to make certain the actors were looking at Thanos' face up in the concluding cut.
Cyborg in Justice League
Of all the heroes in DC Comics' long-awaited Justice League, Cyborg (Ray Fisher) may be the to the lowest degree known of the crime-fighting characters. Although he does appear as a fellow member of the Justice League at times, Cyborg has more oftentimes been associated with the League's young developed counterparts, the Teen Titans.
While most of the other heroes in the Justice League lineup got to don Amazonian armor, gauntlets from Atlantis and cool, high-tech suits, Fisher put on a nifty movement capture suit, complete with lights and color-coded sections to make it easier for artists to animate all of Cyborg's moving parts.
Animate being from Beauty & the Beast
Tale equally quondam as time, right? Well, maybe non. While other versions of this story rely heavily on practical makeup effects — or the pencils of talented Disney animators — the 2017 remake, which stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens as the titular duo, leans into motion capture.
On the left, Stevens dons a rather bulky motion capture suit, which leaves just his face up exposed. The end effect? A Creature who is about all computer-generated — salvage his eyes, which are the real thing. Allegedly, Disney felt this would give the grapheme that "man element," but we tin can't help but experience his performance was a tad stiff.
Portals in Physician Strange
Compared to Helm America or Atomic number 26 Human, Medico Strange is certainly one of Marvel's less mainstream characters, but the character'southward mystical fourth dimension-space-bending powers allow for some pretty neat — and rather circuitous — visuals.
Nominated for a All-time Visual Effects Oscar, Doctor Strange was described by cinematographer Ben Davis as "Marvel's Fantasia," thanks to its psychedelic, G.C.-Escher-inspired imagery. Manager Scott Derrickson echoed these thoughts, saying that the mirror dimension chase was an attempt to take Inception "to the Nth degree… [make it] way more surreal." Thank you to green screens and some cool lighting furnishings, the film accomplished that vision.
Quidditch in the Harry Potter Series — Earlier
From the male child sorcerer slaying a basilisk to the principal trio being attacked by behemothic, enchanted chess pieces, there's a lot of awesome technical (witchcraft and) wizardry to indicate to in the Harry Potter series. But who didn't want to hop on a Firebolt broomstick and try their hand at Quidditch?
Well, Radcliffe was glad to hang up his broomstick when the fourth dimension came. According to the young histrion, the rigs were uncomfortable, and shooting scenes for matches took quite a lot of time, pregnant he spent a lot of time dealing with discomfort on the annoying rig.
Quidditch in the Harry Potter Series — After
When shooting a Quidditch friction match, the crew filmed each actor separately and from multiple angles. Afterward, all that footage had to be pieced together to form a fluid game. Most actors used the mechanical rigs Radcliffe wasn't fond of, but information technology meant filmmakers could control (or "steer") the "broom" for the shots.
Add in some artificial wind and the greenish (or blue) screen magic and presto — flying broomsticks. Co-ordinate to a backside-the-scenes featurette, a few other Quidditch scenes were shot using trampolines, which Ron Weasley histrion Rupert Grint said was "quite scary."
Fight Sequences in The Matrix — Before
Written and directed by the Wachowskis, 1999'south cyberpunk activeness moving picture The Matrix took the world past tempest. (Kind of literally?) The sci-fi masterpiece depicts a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside a simulation of reality — a.1000.a. the titular Matrix.
The simulation has been created by machines to distract humans from the fact that their bodies are being used equally an energy source. When Neo (Keanu Reeves) discovers the truth, he is pulled into a rebellion — ane he might have to lead. In creating this stylish motion picture, the Wachowski'south leaned heavily into the aesthetics of Japanese anime and martial arts films.
Fight Sequences in The Matrix — After
In leaning into these visuals, the writer/manager duo also capitalized on the utilize of fight choreographers and the "wire fu" techniques that were popularized past Hong Kong activity cinema. In addition to using rigs and wires to create gravity-defying fights, The Matrix is besides known for popularizing "bullet fourth dimension."
In "bullet fourth dimension," a character'south heightened perception is represented past the activity inside a shot moving in slow-motion while the photographic camera moves at normal speed. Needless to say, this fun upshot — and some CGI — let for Neo to dodge bullets, and it paved the style for an on-screen delineation of Spider-Homo'south "Spidey sense."
Quicksilver'southward Speedy Antics in Ten-Men: Days of Hereafter Past
In Ten-Men: Days of Future Past, super-speedster Quicksilver (Evan Peters) puts his powers on full display during 1 of the motion-picture show's nigh memorable scenes, where he dashes around the Pentagon kitchen to reposition and disarm the guards pursuing him and his cohort.
Everything effectually Quicksilver moves in seeming slow-move to emulate his point of view, so before Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) tin even fully extend his claws, the speedster already makes quick work of the enemies. For the sequence, Peters was filmed running in identify, allowing him to human action out all of Quicksilver's antics to a "T." Subsequently, the VFX team added in loads of CGI props, from bullets to frying pans, all of which had to be choreographed perfectly.
All Those Fight Sequences in 300: Rise of an Empire
"This. Is. Sparta!" And by "Sparta," we mean the land of greenish screens. In 300: Rise of an Empire, the picture show keeps the stylistic flair of its predecessor — as well every bit what tin best be described as a filter those who are new to Instagram run all their posts through.
Jokes aside, Rise of an Empire is a visual treat. This boxing on a ship takes identify in a green room where prop masters built just the send's flooring. You'll observe the greenish "Ten'due south" on the ground, which helped actors striking their marks, and VFX artists removed that pesky tape in post-production.
THAT Final Battle in Avengers: Endgame — Earlier
A 21 film pb-up meant that the anticipation for Avengers: Endgame was high — dangerously high. Nosotros all knew it would end in a climactic battle, but, somehow, the folks backside the Curiosity Cinematic Universe exceeded our wildest expectations.
Throngs of recognizable characters from the last decade of films filled the screen in the last face-off confronting Thanos (Josh Brolin). Getting all the characters together took a lot of wizardry — both in terms of the film's actual plot and in terms of the bodily VFX processes behind the scenes.
THAT Terminal Battle in Avengers: Endgame — Afterward
1 of the nearly exciting shots shows Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie, a grapheme introduced in Thor: Ragnarok, on her trusty winged steed. In reality, that equus caballus was but a saddle-like structure that allowed for a bit of movement, supported past some folks dressed in green suits.
Other characters besides as the Doctor Strange portal effect and the dominicus-punctured sky backside Valkyrie and her cohorts were all added, thanks to the help of a trusty light-green screen. In fact, all of the Avengers assembled in a giant green room and just executed a lot of cool fight choreography. The VFX squad transformed that gaping room into a battlefield for the ages.
Luke Skywalker's Robotic Hand in Star Wars: Episode Viii – The Last Jedi
In Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Dorsum, Luke Skywalker loses his hand during a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader. In that same iconic scene, the Sith Lord besides reveals that he'southward Luke's father. In many ways, Luke's on-screen portrayal changed from that indicate forward.
Although he's fitted with a robotic hand and a peel-graft in the original films, Luke becomes less interested in hiding his metal phalanges in Episode Viii. In order to capture the expect and movement of the mitt merely correct, VFX artists fitted Mark Hamill'due south joints with these crafty light-green bands.
Office Lion in The Wolf of Wall Street
Martin Scorsese's 2013 dark comedy criminal offense movie The Wolf of Wall Street is based on Jordan Belfort's memoir of the same name. In it, Belfort recounts his career equally a New York City stockbroker and the ways in which his business firm, Stratton Oakmont, engaged in debauchery, corruption and fraud.
The Oscar-nominated motion-picture show became Scorsese's highest-grossing flick, but it wasn't without controversy. Dissimilar Life of Pi's tiger, the lion that padded effectually the depraved role was the real bargain, which drew complaints. While shooting, a handler walked the leashed lion around an empty office. After, the handler was edited out, and the role employees were added in.
The (Film-Long) Car Hunt in Mad Max: Fury Route
Technically, Mad Max: Fury Road is kind of the anti-light-green screen motion-picture show. Director George Miller has stated that 90% of the effects in his postal service-apocalyptic masterpiece are practical. With droves of modified hot rods, loads of camera rigs and more 150 stunt performers, Fury Road was filmed on location in Commonwealth of australia.
"As far as I know, the only VFX on our costumes was the light-green glove [Charlize Theron] wore to hibernate her arm," said costume designer Jenny Beavan. "And they also took out wires from the [stunt] harnesses." Due to the harsh filming weather condition, VFX were mostly used to alter the time of day, terrain and atmospheric condition effects.
Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace
Impuissant but well-intentioned, Jar Jar Binks tried to bring some levity to the prequel films, but for many viewers, he wasn't lovable at all. Nonetheless, bringing the Gungan to life — CGI natural language and all — was a real feat for the ILM VFX team.
Ahmed Best, who provided Jar Jar'southward phonation and movement capture performance, had a fun time filming Episode I, even with the Jar Jar maquette on his head. Although fans' unwarranted dislike led to some dark times in All-time's life, he could accept solace in the fact that at to the lowest degree his face wasn't associated with the much-hated grapheme.
The Android in Ex Machina
Similar Mad Max: Fury Route, Ex Machina defines our typical VFX expectations. In this psychological sci-fi thriller from author/director Alex Garland, a programmer (Domhnall Gleeson) is invited by his CEO (Oscar Isaac) to administer the Turing test to an intelligent robot (Alicia Vikander) to determine her level of humanity.
Made with a budget of but $15 million, Ex Machina ended up winning the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Impressively, during filming, the crew didn't use any dark-green screen or tracking markers. Instead, scenes were filmed both with and without Vikander, allowing post-production teams to digitally paint out the parts of her that the android body wouldn't need.
Carol Danvers' Flight in Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame
In 2022, Captain Marvel became the get-go female person-led superhero film to pass the billion-dollar mark. Although Brie Larson's Captain Marvel (a.k.a. Carol Danvers) doesn't require the makeup that other non-human characters crave, she all the same gets her off-white share of VFX back up.
For ane thing, the flight sequences are all done against dark-green screens, with Larson hooked upward to various rigs and wires that allow her to perform acrobatic stunts — or be "puppeteered" past the trusty stunt squad. In some sequences, Larson's hair is fifty-fifty digitally added in to give it all those floaty, glowing effects.
Wonderland and Its Inhabitants in Tim Burton'southward Alice in Wonderland
Tim Burton's 2010 Alice in Wonderland kicked off quite a few trends. First, it helped usher in the historic period of darker, gritty reboots. 2nd, it kick-started a tendency of live-action fantasy films being greenlit by Disney. Third, it cemented Burton's commitment to making entire fantasy worlds using CGI and green screen effects.
While certain elements of the prepare were created by designers, near characters and backdrops were dreamed up entirely in post-production. Instead, filmmakers crafted some pretty inventive greenish screen and mo-cap suits, including the sparse-legged, bulbous suits seen here, which were used for Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
All Those Gritty Fight Sequences in Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice
It'southward a bird. Information technology's a plane. It's — a lot of green screens. Superman has been around for quite some fourth dimension, and dorsum in the day, those Christopher Reeve films featured some pretty obvious composite backgrounds — a.k.a. flying Kal-El and Lois Lane were substantially pasted over background footage.
At present, much similar Captain Curiosity, Superman's power of flight happens courtesy of some inventive rigs and cables and CGI backgrounds. In Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice, fans can take hold of a whole lot of flying fun and some great fight scenes, most of which were shot against light-green screen backgrounds before beingness transformed into gritty, night setpieces.
Kylo Ren and Luke Skywalker's Duel in Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Terminal Jedi
Rian Johnson's entry in the Star Wars sequel trilogy brought some of the saga's most thrilling setpieces to life. From Admiral Holdo's (Laura Dern) sacrificial starship maneuver to Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren'due south (Adam Driver) lightsaber battle team-up, The Last Jedi is total of flair.
When Kylo Ren faces off confronting his uncle and former Jedi Master, Luke Skywalker (Marking Hamill), on the scarlet table salt planet of Crait, the snow-similar common salt is a applied result — while the residuum of the planet is rendered in mail. Different the Star Wars prequels, which saw actors using wooden dowels as sabers, the sequel trilogies upgraded things a bit.
