CG SEQUENCE SUPERVISOR -- RHYTHM & HUES STUDIOS
In the Plastic Prison sequence of the film, the leader of the “mutant brotherhood” Magneto is being held captive and we focus on his escape. This demanded the creation of a large part of the CG prison itself and the surrounding CG environment. Our other major sequence, the Augmentation Room, covers a fight between Wolverine armed with his metal claws against Yuriko armed with her metal fingernails. We created the CG claws and CG fingernails as well as supporting effects such as scratches and dust.
