1. Behind The Scenes of Avengers: Age of Ultron VFX
The Age of VFX has seen its share of upgrades since the silent black and white
era cinema. When Chaplin dared to make a film on Hitler, he didn’t hire a
supernatural amount of crowd members to be present in his scene; he used
VFX.
King Kong was never a real thing, but VFX made it possible for the giant gorilla
to be shown rampaging up a building. The historic flying bicycle scene in ET
by movie genius Steven Spielberg was also done through the magic of VFX. In
today’s generation, VFX is an integral part of movie making.
Superhero movies have been hitting the theatres since 1920, when the Mark
of Zorro was released. MARVEL Studios was about to declare bankruptcy in
the year 1996, but they had a last card to play when turned out to be their
one-way trump card to cloud nine of success.
They started the MCU (MARVEL Cinematic Universe) under the guidance of
Joss Whedon and Kevin Feige. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an
American media franchise and shared universe that focuses on
a series of superhero films that are independently produced by Marvel Studios
2. based on characters that appear in the publications of Marvel Comics.
The franchise has expanded to include comic books, short films, television
series, and digital series.
The first film released in the MCU was Iron Man (2008), which kicked off the
first phase of films that culminated in the crossover film Marvel's The
Avengers (2012).
Theatres were swarming with members of all age demographics. The world
loved it and MARVEL embraced the attention to continue on and produce two
more phases and plan for the fourth.
Starring a huge range of actors Like Robert Downey Jr. (playing genius
billionaire playboy philanthropist Iron Man), Chris Evans (playing the the
patriotic Captain America), Scarlett Johansson (playing the super spy assassin
Black Widow), British megastar Benedict Cumberbatch (playing sorcerer
supreme Doctor Strange), Aussie Chris hemsworth (playing the Norse god
Thor) and so many more.
Phase Two of MCU saw the return of the Avengers in the movie “Avengers –
Age Of Ultron”, where the team once again assembled to fight of a secret
World War 2 Nazi-based cult society that survived since then, called Hydra.
The Avengers at the beginning of the film raid the last standing outpost of the
Hydra at Sokovia and retrieve a weapon.
Tony stark AKA Iron man then decided by himself to return to normal life and
retire from being a superhero. He had to create some kind of substitute to take
up his time, like an AI intelligent enough to detect threat and subdue it before
any crisis even happened.
So he and Dr. Banner AKA Hulk created Ultron. But their project went south
real quick and Ultron makes an enemy out of humanity because humans are
more dangerous to themselves than anything else, and plans to destroy the
earth’s population.
But the Avengers help save the day from an army of intelligent robots created
3. by Ultron in the end in a thrilling action sequence. As exciting the movie
sounds, it takes a lot of time to shoot, execute and finally release a film on this
big a scale.
All the stars present in the same set is both exciting and severely stressful to
direct and pay attention to each and everyone.
The film contains 3,000 visual effects shots, completed by ten different visual
effects studios, including Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Trixter, Double
Negative, Animal Logic, Framestore, Lola VFX, Territory, Perception, Method
Studios, Luma Pictures and The Third Floor.
Joss Whedon said in an Age of Ultron promotional interview to CNN that,
“This one was harder than anything I have done, both structurally and
physically”. So even if the film looks great, it’s what happens behind the scenes
that tells us the whole story.
In the same interview, other cast members were asked about their experience
on set with Joss and they had some pretty funny stories to share.
Cobie Smulders (who plays Agent Maria Hill) said, “Joss does an amazing job of
keeping the set happy and fun, and everyone is happy and well”.
Chris Hems-worth and Chris Evans mischievously revealed that them being
together again on set felt good and they made a lot of commotion and felt like
they were back in high school, but Joss was like their Principal and shouted at
them several times to make them work more seriously.
4. The development of the characters in the movie is very interesting. Tony, the
fast moving, narcissistic genius is shown to have grown closer to life.
He is shown to fund every student’s project at MIT but doesn’t get personal
with them; he is also shown to not like being a superhero because the love of
his life is avoiding him just for being a superhero all the time, which is exactly
why he wants to retire and consequently creates Ultron.
Bruce Banner, who prefers being a loner because he knows being the Hulk
might get him (and others with him) in trouble, is growing a love interest for
Natasha but is hesitating to move forward with that train thought; Natasha,
too, is shown to be a tortured cult product from Russia where she is taught to
be a cold blooded killer and turned infertile.
Steve Rogers, the perfect soldier, is shown to carry the burden of the failures
of his team. Thor, after rejecting his throne at Asgard and living on earth with
his lover, loses his motive to be a hero but finds it again because of a
nightmarish premonition.
Clint Barton AKA Hawk-Eye is shown to have a family isolated and living off
the grid so that they are safe from any danger he might be in.
Ultron, too, is developed as a great character - originally created to save
humanity, he grows into a killing robot because he concludes from all his
knowledge that humans are their own worst enemy.
5. MARVEL studios have been excelling in the VFX department from the first
Iron Man film.
Visual effects are often integral to a movie's story and appeal. Although most
visual effects work is completed during post-production, it usually must be
carefully planned and choreographed in pre-production and production.
Visual effects are primarily executed in Post-Production with the use of
multiple tools and technologies such as graphic design, modelling, animation
and similar software, while special effects such as explosions and car chases
are sometimes made on set.
A visual effects supervisor is usually involved with the production from an
early stage to work closely with production and the film's director design,
guide and lead the teams required to achieve the desired effects.
VFX can be categorized into: Simulation FX, Animation, Modeling, Matte
painting, and Composting. From making Tony Stark fly to Bruce Banner
becoming the Hulk, almost everything is done with the help of VFX.
The production for this movie was really high of about $267.4 million is
6. earned a gigantic amount of $1.405 billion which is fabulous.
Although Ultron had many an appearance in the comic books, this story was
independently created for the MCU and had very little inspiration from the
original comic books, making it 10 times more interesting to watch as an
original take on the subject.
The film performed really well in theatres and got a rating of 7.5 on IMDB, and
even performed well commercially. The Avengers will assemble again in April
of the year 2018, in the film Avengers: Infinity War, with solo films of members
of the Avengers in between.
Let us look forward to the awesome work to come our way with these films.
