Making of "Real Steel"
Tue, 11/08/2011
Panel discussion with artists and producers from Digital Domain and Giant Studios about the CG work in Real Steel
Description
The visceral robot boxing matches in "Real Steel" were conceived, planned and executed using an innovative process that gave the filmmakers unprecedented creative freedom and efficiency – by taking virtual production out of the studio and bringing it into real world settings. From robot animation and lighting to set extensions and arena crowds, the teams at Digital Domain and Giant Studios streamlined production from start to finish for maximum efficiency and photorealism. Animation supervisor Erik Gamache, digital environments supervisor Geoffrey Baumann, digital environments lead Justin van der Lek, digital lighting lead Blake Sweeney and previs supervisor Casey Schatz will illustrate the techniques used to realize director Shawn Levy’s vision for this heartwarming story.
