Speaking Wednesday at Italy’s View VFX confab, Trent Claus discussed the technical and ethical issues behind these techniques.
While VFX house Lola has earned a reputation in Hollywood for its “de-aging” techniques, the specifics of the work has mostly been a tightly kept secret.
The VFX supervisor explained that the Lola process effectively involves 2D digital compositing onto the actual face, meaning the end result is a sort of hybrid of live-action and digital effects. To make this as believable as possible, Claus said they studied human anatomy and met with plastic surgeons to understand the subtleties of aging.
He added that in instances where the performance requires a body double, "we select a double not necessarily by their look, but what we find are the defining characteristics that we need to most reference." contains an estimated 200 aging and de-aging shots, including work on the superheroes when they time-travel as well as on the late Stan Lee.
