25th July, 2017 In this interview with TRIXTER VFX Supervisor Dominik Zimmerle:
The movie opens in the devastated Grand Central Station. How did you created this huge environment?
We received a preproduction Concept Art as a kick off, and based on this we started creating a piece of artwork ourselves. Our artwork was utilizing already a tracked camera perspective based on a plate and temp renders of all the key assets that needed to be used. These were mainly the Jumbo Alien and the Chitauri Chariot. Based on this we discussed the mood of the environment, where objects should be placed, how the destruction should look like, atmospherics, etc. Once this was signed off we moved over to modeling the intact GCS based on a Lidar scan from THE AVENGERS to have a solid base, as the final destruction especially on the roof, would need to work in conjunction with the full CG camera move in the beginning of our long establishing shot.
