Hollywood's particular characteristics on visual effects whether "fantastical" or "special," may not be recognized by over-stimulated audiences as moviegoers have seen so many digital explosions and a green screen "epic" battle every single time. But props to the visual effects producer of Marvel's latest machination, Ant-Man . Jake Morrison, amazingly manages moments of imagery, and the result is very amazing to watch Ant-Man.
Jake Morrison is behind how Paul Rudd transforms into the size of an ant. In the movie, Rudd can sneak through the tiniest crevasses, traverses tubes, or tries to escape a turntable before the needle kills him.
Paul Rudd as the new Ant-Man, has the ability of transforming his body into .01% from its normal size. Ant-Man's black and crimson leather suit comes with an atomic helmet and thumb buttons that de-and re-bigulate. The Ant-Man has telepathic control over ants.
The filmmaker Peyton Reed talked about the film, and the director stated, "The single most terrifying visual effect in the movie to me is scene one, in the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters with Michael Douglas... If that didn't work, we were screwed, because you're going to be in some weird uncanny valley as a viewer. 'That's terrible. This doesn't work. I'm out.' You could potentially lose an audience member in the very first scene if that didn't work."
It is very astonishing how the film's team of illustrators and animators paint Ant-Man's tales.Movie enthusiasts get to see carefully emulated macro-focus photography which lets the Ant-Man able to ride on ants and surfboards in a drain that looks so realistic.
Director Peyton Reed is very thankful that he is working with the VFX company Lola, the studio that Marvel has worked before, the same studio that has produced more than a few big projects featuring characters undergoing massive physical changes.
Director Peyton Reed stated, "Lola, the company who did it, who had done the "Skinny Steve' stuff from the first Captain America - that stuff was so great. But we didn't know until scarily close to the end whether that was going to work."
