ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Before And After VFX Shots Showcase Moments You Didn't Even Know Were CGI
Awesome new photos from Ant-Man and The Wasp have been revealed which highlight some key scenes from the sequel along with before and after VFX shots revealing CGI where you didn't know there was some!
Ant-Man and The Wasp is now in theaters and while the sequel hasn't made anywhere near as significant an impact as Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther did earlier this year, it's still a must-see. While the movie won't be released in a number of international locations for another couple of weeks, VFX shots from the movie have started surfacing focusing on some pretty major sequences.
These are all really cool to look at but the coolest thing here is realising how Marvel Studios used special effects where you probably never even knew there was some. That says a lot about the quality of the VFX teams they have working for them and there's no denying that this was a very good looking movie. So, to take a look at all of these new images, simply click on the "View List" button below.
During the scenes featuring The Wasp flying through the air, I think most of us assumed Marvel put Evangeline Lilly on a rig and then shrunk her down. Well, apparently not based on this VFX image!
The fact that both Ant-Man and The Wasp wear helmets clearly made it easy for Marvel to create CGI doubles of these characters, something which is evident from the realistic looking VFX stand-in.
In one of the sequel's funniest moments, Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne find themselves being attacked by a couple of pigeons after shrinking down a getaway vehicle which uses shrinking tech.
Okay, so this isn't one of those shots where you wouldn't realise CGI was used because Marvel obviously didn't find a giant pigeon to appear in this scene with a shocked and confused Scott Lang.
The Giant-Man we see here is a fully CGI creation which isn't a massive surprise. However, there were surely ways Marvel Studios could have shot this sequence with a practical version of the superhero.
It's hardly a shocker that visual effects were used to enhance Ghost's powers but this awesome before and after shot sheds some light on the huge amount of work that ended up going into that process.
The difference between these two shots is massive but who would have ever guessed that the top part of her mask wasn't actually worn by Hannah John-Kamen? Then again, she did need to actually see!
While you may be thinking that Marvel used CGI to create most of Ant-Man's scenes, here we see Scott Lang actually increased in size thanks to VFX proving that there were some practical scenes too.
Director Peyton Reed clearly had a lot of fun playing around with the size-changing abilities of Ant-Man and The Wasp in this movie and here we see Scott Lang holding on for dear life on a windscreen wiper.
Not a huge amount of the sequel was actually shot in San Francisco so how amazing is it that Marvel actually managed to recreate that city's streets with VFX after filming the movie in Atlanta?
Surprise, surprise! Hank's laboratory wasn't a real place and was a fully CGI creation. However, the door was practical so that's something but it really is amazing how much VFX was hidden here.
