Hawkeye – Season 1 – Weta Digital

Sunday | 2022 03 13 |

A key feature of our work on Marvel Studios’ Hawkeye is the high-speed car chase where Hawkeye and his sidekick are pursued across the streets of Brooklyn, through a Christmas tree sales yard, and onto the Manhattan Bridge. Using a fully digital model of the bridge combined with matte paintings and CG set extensions, we transformed plates shot on location into the familiar skylines of New York. See the highlights on our VFX sizzle reel.

Jungle Cruise – Weta Digital

Saturday | 2022 01 01 |

Weta Digital’s contribution to Disney’s Jungle Cruise focused primarily on creating environments—including hundreds of kilometres of CG Amazon River, with mist, waterfalls and rapids—as well as the creatures that populate the jungle. We created and hand-animated Frank’s ever-loyal, and fully CG, pet jaguar Proxima, and crafted motion vignettes for the abundance of birds, bugs and monkeys that call the jungle home.
