How 'The Invisible Man' Creates Fear From Nothing - Without VFX!

The Invisible Man is a reinterpretation and/or reinvention of the 1933 sci-fi horror film, and loosely based on the 1897 H.G. Wells novel of the same name. I know what you're thinking, "Invisible!" man, perfect chance for some awesome VFX. Well, yes and no.

Cutting Edge
Cutting Edge delivered just over 300 shots for this entire film, their main tasks being stitching shots together, painting out green-screened performers and wires as well as general clean up.
Table Throw
For the Table throw scene a stunt double, wires, and a green-screened performer were used. The scene was shot with "D2 Motion's Argo motion control rig" which was then pre-programmed to follow the stunt choreography.
Cutting Edge then stitched the shot of the actress to that of her stunt double and then removed the wires and Green=screened performer.
Hospital Fight
The motion control rig was also used in the psychiatric hospital scene and in this scene in addition to clean-up, cutting edge recreated the hallway floor in CG, this was done so that they could remove the 'motion control rig' track that was in the frame.
The Suit
Odd Studio was given the task of building the practical suit that made the invisible man "invisible" and Cutting Edge built its CG counterpart.
The practical suit had a black and a green version, the black version was how the suit was supposed to look and appears in the hospital scene when the invisible man is stabbed causing the suit to glitch and fail.
The green-screened version was used in a scene when paint is thrown on it and Cutting Edge had to remove the green suit to leave just the silhouette formed by the paint.
Perfect Balance
Director Leigh Whannell didn't want to rely on VFX, he preferred to used practical effects or even no effects at all where possible. He understood that the moments of most tension, happen when you don't know where the invisible man is, to accomplish this he used various techniques.
One was panning, when a camera pans, it's generally to turn our attention to another person or object, Leigh created tension by simply panning to empty space, this left you feeling that something was there even though you couldn't see it.
Another was to use Negative space, Leigh filmed lots of empty spaces where the invisible man might be, he also used unusual framing to give you the impression that the invisible man is in the shot also.
Finally, in various scenes, he used the camera to portray the invisible man's POV. By using the robotic camera he could make it dart forward or backward quickly or turn and bend faster than handheld cameras making you feel that you're looking through the Invisible man's eyes.

[@basedguy___]

Others: wtf iwant to see invisible man face GreenScreen: Am i joke to you?

[@tntproductionstravelvideog5377]

I am wondering how they achieve this greatness with out using a steady tripod and a background replacement. If some can explain this to me I would appreciate it.

[@spazism8405]

To illuminate the invisible man they put the man in a green suit and the editor erased him. And not all of the clips were filmed with someone holding the tripod. Most of them were filmed on a thing called a motion controlled camera. For example like 0:29, 1:42, and 2:45. It’s basically just a camera that is motion controlled and follows the movement of the character.

استمر ♥️♥️

[@YAZEN_17]

I wish someone can answer my question...how they keying the man who wearing green suit in a moving scene i mean if its a stable scene every body can use a freeze frame then keying but when they moving the camera how can they make a freeze frame and how they replace the area that behind the the suit u know what I mean? Plz answer and sorry for my grammar mistakes cuz it's not my native language

[@jaimegaona3379]

he didn’t seem to explain it but they were using robotic cameras so they simply did one shot with the actors and another one with no one so then they can simply use the background to remove the green guy

[@Artist_apu_drawing_world]

NICE,, HOPE WILL BETTER

[@hl4352]
