Weta Digital, one of the VFX studios that worked on the project recently shared the VFX breakdown of the mammoth spectacle that wowed the viewers recently. Weta Digital was responsible for the climactic final battle that plays out in the rubble of the Avenger’s compound. Their work features the biggest-ever battle in the MCU with almost every hero and villain unleashing their full potential.
Apart from that, they also shared how they brought Harley Quinn’s Hyena that was featured in the movie Bird of Prey to life in an all-new podcast.
With substantial amount of CG layers draped on a lovely German Shepard, beloved Hyena was brought to life. Why not the real one, you ask? Well. As it happens, the team exhausted their efforts to make a real hyena act. The crew initially partnered up with some animal trainers that actually had a hyena which is where they learned how dangerous it would be to actually have on set.
We are thrilled to learn about the VFX intricacies that weaved together such incredible and heartwarming images on celluloid.
