When you're a VFX artist and you've been looking at the same scenes for hours a day for weeks on end, constantly scrubbing back and forth across your timeline, you just become blind to errors and mistakes and technical glitches beyond the really obvious one.

You just need a second set of eyes or put down that specific part and look at it again later with fresh eyes.

No, I mean like physically how it happened lol. If the behind the scenes image is true, the position of the guy to the camera and the set just being a green screen... How did a reflection of the dude end up where it did? I would have assumed it to just be some kind of half developed afterimage on the film itself if not for the behind the scenes image.

half developed afterimage on the film itself

I think this movie was filmed digitally not on film

It's more likely that the person shown on set is a vfx person making sure everything's being filmed right for their part, and he superimposed himself during the vfx editing on purpose.

Or you let it slide because like nobody notices the one frame except for crazy fans and it just becomes a fun easter egg.

Yeah little single frame errors like that are just not worth the time fixing and re-rendering. And a lot those little errors are the vfx blindness setting in.

Especially at the time of this movie, can you imagine the computer time to re-render this scene? Weeks, at least.

Are you a VFX artist? Would you be interested in doing an AMA on [email protected] ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sort of? I'm primarily a 3d animator, but I've been diving more into doing vfx with actually filmed stuff. Im a pretty small time animator, mostly just make fun internal videos for the company I work for.

I've never done an AMA before but I might be willing give it a go some time. Unfortunately I might be limited on actual examples of my work because so much is has company branding and has my irl name tied to it, not trying to expose too much of my irl self.

Sounds great! I'll be on holiday until next week, but I'll come back to you!
