Avengers Re-Assemble

The second unit shot in Johannesburg, South Africa, to capture the donnybrook
that erupts between a rampaging Hulk and Stark, with the latter clad in the "Hulkbuster"
iteration of his Iron Man armor.

the same time as the Avengers' "afterparty," with Spader clad in a fractal
motion-capture suit and a head rig with
two built-in cameras, its own lighting
and a pair of small poles with lights on
them to signify the android's greater
height. The CGI Hulk was similarly
built on Ruffalo's mocap performance.
Motion-capture expertise was
provided by the Imaginarium, the
British studio co-founded by mocap
performer Andy Serkis, who also
appears in Age of Ultron as villain
Ulysses Klaw. "We were trying to create
an atmosphere in which James and
Mark felt comfortable in the motioncapture suits," says visual-effects supervisor Chris Townsend. "They couldn't
look in the mirror and see their characters, so we showed them tests of what
their characters would look like and
how their movements would translate
to their characters. Andy guided them
and helped them break down mental
barriers so they could give incredible
performances."
Lead visual-effects provider
Industrial Light & Magic, which
contributed approximately 800 shots,
did much of the Hulk and Ultron
animation. Sometimes the crew would
shoot clean background plates onto
which the characters would be composited, and in other shots the actors in
frame would be replaced by the
animated characters.
