The light rig is a sphere that the actor sits in. We used any and all of those materials that we could to come up with the final look of old Cap.
So then to that end, we also shot Patrick at our studio, at Lola, in our light rig, to get some higher resolution textures, and then also to catch any angles that we might have missed on set, which always happens. It’s all manipulating the main plate, which is the Chris plate, either by paint work or more in depth compositing work, or also using textures from our double, the Patrick plate. The actual process was basically the same we do for de-ageing and the same that we did for old Peggy on Winter Soldier where we do it entirely in compositing, in Flame. But yet you want him to look really old, so it was a really fine line to find there. You want them to accept him as an older version of Captain America, but still Captain America. You don’t want the audience to feel sorry for him.
ACTOR WHO PLAYED OLD CAPTAIN AMERICA TRIAL
So there’s a lot of trial and error and lookdev in that process.Ī post shared by Patrick Gorman had to look still super hero-ey. So you might have one person in the room who thinks this is what ageing is, and another who thinks this is what ageing is, and they don’t necessarily work together. Sometimes those things contradict the ageing things that happen to someone else. And they see things that happen to them or their parents, and kind of extrapolate that that happens to everyone. Everybody is acutely aware of their own ageing, and then also the ageing of their parents and things like that. So there’s a lot more subjectivity in terms of the filmmakers. Because unlike de-ageing where you are aiming towards a reference, with ageing there’s nothing to go off of. There was a lot – a tremendous amount, actually – of lookdev that was involved. Try and get the angles and things that we need so that we would have that on set reference for lighting and textures. Hold this pose, hold that pose, that sort of thing. He would watch whatever Chris did on set and duplicate it as well as he could, then I would direct him to look a little more to his left, look a little more to his right. In this case it was a gentleman named Patrick Gorman who’s a really phenomenal actor. And we shot Chris doing all the takes and the performance first, just like we’ve always done with de-ageing, or even with skinny Steve back on the first Captain America.Īnd then we shot a picture double. That was in Atlanta – it was actually at a farm outside of Atlanta. So he looked kind of strange on set! He looked like young Chris Evans but with an old neck and crow’s feet. And then Chris wore tracking dots on the rest of his face.
