The Killer digi-double visual effects sequence & breakdown. This is our first of many breakdown reels we're going to post on X for our VFX work on The Killer.

Advancements in software, hardware and artist skill enabled us to create The Killer digi-double with a team of 7 artists using Lenovo workstations, AMD processors, NVidia GPUs, Nuke, Maya, Houdini & Redshift software. And months of time :-)

This was animated by a French animator named Virginie who worked at ILM in San Rafael. She was incredibly talented and the lead animator for Yoda. Virginie animated this for fun in her free time and was worried about showing around the office. Eventually she showed her friends

I composited this opening shot. David wanted more time for his cut, so he paid out of pocket for a custom WB logo and made it as short as possible to get another 30 seconds or so added to the movie. The comp was straightforward, full CG render, I tweaked color and spec of

Step 1 - Denoise plate, removing all grain.
Steps 2 through 4 - Rotoscope of sclera, iris and pupil individually.
Step 5 and 6 - Key out reflections of sclera and iris/pupil separately.
Step 7 - Using roto and key, minus out reflections from plate.
Step 8 - Apply base overall

A little more context. I remember hearing that the studio wasn’t letting David make the film a second longer. He had already pushed the limits and it had become a real issue. They had drawn a line in the sand. This CG logo was a literal loophole. I can’t remember exactly, but

Because the eyes are a key story point of the film, they received more scrutiny. Our blue eyes compositing supervisor James Lee's sole job was overseeing and reviewing each and every blue eye that we created. That's how serious of a task this was for Denis & Paul Lambert, the

For this particular sequence in The Killer, Eric Barba, Peter Mavromates and David Fincher approached us with an extremely difficult task, to create close up, photoreal digi-double shots of Michael Fassbender riding a scooter.

We then used photogrammetry to assist with cascading streetlight timing and travel speed. The final result was high res meticulously crafted nearly full CG shots cut into the live action sequence with the ultimate goal of nobody noticing.

Because of this there were no HDRI's or usable array footage and sparse reference photos. The lighting and lookdev had to be dialed in by eye. We began with the Killer asset, adding fine facial detail and cloth simulations.

The quality of the work had to seamlessly cut back to back between live action shots of The Killer on set. Extra complexity was added because the original plan to shoot these shots on a virtual stage didn't live up to what Fincher had envisioned.

In addition to our digi-double work we also provided 100s of blue screen extraction shots for SheHulk. When it comes to blue/green screens, it's all about the edges. We're relentless in our pursuit of the perfect edge.

This process requires the help of a producer, coordinator, supervisor, artists and a pipeline TD. Plus the work of a DI artist and the oversight of Paul & Denis. A whole team in itself to handle nearly 1400 eye shots across both films.

Heard this in dailies today, “Shake it till looks good.” Leaning how to master the perfect camera shake is crucial for a pro VFX artist. It’s a subtle thing that can add tremendous feeling to a shot.

Because it had too many rendering issues and needed to work on its "inner pixels"!
