This allowed them to be stabilized correctly. The solution was to take still frames of the students and project those back onto their bodies. Here, Rising Sun’s challenge was to make it look as if the students were not on wires for the requisite ‘freeze frame’ moments-“You get a rock and roll effect as they ease on the wires,” said Jones. The actors, fitted with wires, were shot against greenscreen as they were launched out the window. ![]() That was filmed via motion control using multiple passes. “But when we got our digital floor in, it was more of a convex surface and we had to change their perspective a little.”Ī later shot sees Quicksilver hoist students out of the mansion windows. This shot was achieved by “filming the kids on a piston setup that raised them up,” explained Rising Sun Pictures visual effects supervisor Dennis Jones. One shot has them in the lobby area as the floor rises up from the explosion. Director Bryan Singer posted this behind the scenes image on his Instagram page of greenscreen wire shoot for the Quicksilver sequence.įor shots of the students mid-air or mid-action before Quicksilver grabs them, actors were filmed carefully holding their poses or supported on wires, especially if they were being affected by the blast. Rising Sun Pictures-which also worked on the Quicksilver shots in Days of Future Past-would then augment this photography with occasional digital doubles, evidence of the mutant’s ‘zipping’ abilities, fire blasts, and the exploding elements. ![]() Additionally, shots of the students mid-motion on wires on sets and against greenscreen was captured. Filming therefore took place at the mansion location and on sets where high-speed reference of furniture, walls and even a fish tank exploding was gathered. Still, the filmmakers, including overall visual effects supervisor John Dykstra, looked to acquire as many of the shots as possible in-camera.
