The inspiration and key art behind Guardians of the Galaxy

Avengers: Age of Ultron™ Interview with Atomhawk Principal Artist, Stuart Ellis on designing Hawkeye's farmhouse ​What was the brief for Hawkeye's farmhouse?

Avengers: Age of Ultron™

There wasn't really a brief per se but rather a selection of images that Production Director, Charles Wood, had collected as a point of reference. He explained that what he was trying to achieve was a homely American style farmhouse situated in a hidden valley somewhere in the US.​ Atomhawk Showreel 2018. Atomhawk Design.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER. AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON. DOCTOR STRANGE. Dark Dimension and Dormammu Luma drew inspiration for the Dark Dimension directly from Steve Ditko’s 1971 “Third Eye” blacklight poster, which meant it had to be heavily art directed.

DOCTOR STRANGE

Luma was tasked with translating the amorphous 2D graphic into a believable three dimensional photorealistic world, with almost every shot in this sequence done entirely in 3D. Luma developed the look with a lot of neon color; as a result, the crew had a limited palette to draw from and had to invent new rules to create the visually stunning and vibrant environment. The look was highly stylized, so the team had to create elements that would allow for flexibility and a vast array of color and value variation at the shot level.

Creating Dormammu provided its own challenge in that the team had to translate his look from the comic book illustrations to a photoreal living and physical being, which required each shot to go through look/dev first. Captain America: Civil War. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2. SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING. Crime Fighting A rookie Spider-Man goes out and about in the neighbourhood on his first adventure trying to stop petty crime: he’s clumsy, slightly awkward and flies from location to location leaving situations worse off than he found them.

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

Luma created and animated a full CG Spider-Man, keeping in line with the comedic undertone. The lighting team created eight different light rigs to match all the different environments that Spider-Man swings through: the team utilized on set lidar, location captured HDRIs, plate photography and on set reference photography as the foundation. Lighters had to refine on a shot-by-shot basis to craft ‘beauty lighting’ to further enhance and integrate the digital elements into the plates.

Of course, throughout execution it was absolutely necessary to achieve a photo-real look. Spider-Man suits up and heads into the city looking to fight crime, where he spots four robbers wearing Avengers masks breaking into an ATM using alien technology weapons. THOR: RAGNAROK. Miek and Biff Luma also created and animated Korg’s excitable sidekick, Miek, in-house.

THOR: RAGNAROK

After receiving Marvel’s brief on the character, we shot high-energy punching, kicking, jumping and flipping in our motion capture studio so that animators had a more specific type of motion to use in their shots. Miek’s movements are essentially driven by joysticks in his tiny hands, which also controls his exoskeleton. Ian Joyner.

Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron not only reunites and introduces a formidable and popular cast of Marvel characters – it also saw the re-assembling of several formidable visual effects studios to create characters, environments and numerous effects for the film.

Guiding the Age of Ultron effects effort was VFX supervisor Chris Townsend and VFX producer Ron Ames, who both oversaw a huge slate of digital work by a vast array of vendors. “It is incredibly important to get the casting of your VFX vendors right,” suggests Townsend. “Just like you would cast your actors, you cast your visual effects team too. We’ve built up relationships with these companies and we know their strengths and where their creativity lies and what their skilset is, so we’ve been very fortunate that we can build on that.” Above: watch our break down of ILM’s incredible VFX for Hulk, in this video made in conjunction with our media partners at WIRED.
