![]() “This would give Chas and James Mangold a gauge for how shot choices would impact the shoot schedule and vfx,” noted Halon previs supervisor Clint Reagan. Here’s how the digital Hugh Jackman – as both X-24 and as Logan – and digital Dafne Keen were achieved, from planning the live-action on-set shoot, to filming it, to the special scans made of the actors, to the facial rigging and animation, and the final rendering and compositing work involved. In addition, the studio engaged in de-ageing visual effects for some of the Jackman/Jackman shots, in which footage of the actor would be augmented to make him look like the younger X-24.īefore embarking on the use of digital head replacements, in particular for the Logan and X-24 characters, overall visual effects supervisor Chas Jarrett engaged previs studio Halon to animate a series of scenes in which multiple Jackmans would appear. “We basically had to build the whole system from scratch,” said Culpitt. ![]() That meant Image Engine had to ramp up on their digital human pipeline, while also capitalizing on work they’d previously done in the area. The studio had completed plenty of digital human-type work before, but mostly as either human-esque creatures or as cg stunt doubles – never full-frame actors intended to be indistinguishable from the real actor. “We’re literally looking at a real Hugh and a digital Hugh side by side in some shots.” “Everyone knows Logan, for instance, and that’s the biggest challenge,” Image Engine visual effects supervisor Martyn Culpitt told Cartoon Brew. It’s perhaps another example of where things are headed with digital actors and how they can be used to help tell the stories directors are wanting to tell. Cartoon Brew sat down with the studio behind the digital Hugh Jackmans and Laura, Image Engine in Vancouver, who worked under overall vfx supervisor Chas Jarrett, to discuss how the the cg ‘digi-doubles’ were brought to life.Īfter being given the task of re-creating cg heads for Keen and Jackman, Image Engine’s team immediately knew what it was up for. While Hollywood has been relying on digital doubles for many years, the work in Logan is particularly seamless, even if the scenes are relatively brief and do not involve an avatar delivering any dialogue.
