Captain America: The First Avenger

BLAST! That's just what we did. For Joe Johnston's "Captain America: The First Avenger" we shredded evil soldiers to pieces. So this time it wasn't about painting environments and city- or landscapes. It was about matching and animating digital doubles and then turning them into lightning and plasma, burning pieces of torn cloth, ash and debris as they vaporize in one super complex simulation. Super complex was also the simulation for the Blue Bolt rays causing them to vaporize. Imagine fantastrillions of particles. And then multiply that with a humongillion of rigid bodies and cloth pieces. That's the number of objects we simulated. Seriously. "Captain America: The First Avenger" is out today in the US and later this year on 18th August 2011 in Germany.

Thank you to Joe, Chris, Mark, Victoria, Lisa and everyone else at Marvel! It was a BLAST!
AND THANK YOU SUPER AWESOME RISE SUPER VISUAL EFFECTS SUPERHERO TEAM!
