Pretty cool article about the special effects supporting the movie. It goes to show you how much the actors need to visualize is actually there versus reality of the set.

 

ART OF VFX: SUICIDE SQUAD's Seth Maury – VFX Supervisor

 

What was Jerome’s approach to the visual effects?

 

His approach to the visual effects was that it should all be grounded in reality, even when fantastical.

 

For instance, the Ring of Debris electrical activity was based on tesla arc reference we found of similarly shaped items. We often went to practical reference for inspiration.

 

Jerome’s overall approach is that the VFX need to serve the story and to help tell the story, first and foremost.

 

What are the sequences created by MPC?

 

MPC was involved in many sequences, the main ones being the Ring of Debris FX, the burning federal building, the cubicle and office battle with Chivo, the enchantress aura, and the first mission helicopter approach to the city and the following battle. MPC was also responsible for the CG EA’s, as well as many set extensions throughout the film.

 

The movie takes place in various locations and environments. How did you extend and create them?

 

Some environments were partially built sets, where we would top up the second and further stories, such as in the office fire battle with Chivo. This was done as a mix of a 3D model for the main extension of offices and cubicles and 2.5D projection of the city beyond. Multiple layers from lighting were delivered to compositing; so that compositing could have full control over animating the action and timing of the lights on to the environment from the muzzle flashes and tracer fire. The bullet hits and various debris were done as choreographed, per-shot.

If this was a Disney/marvel movie it would have done a billion

 

and the RT score would've been 3x the WB sweet spot

 

And it would have done all that without any changes to what we saw on the screen.

 

DC will get there. Marvel took time to build up to where it is at now.

If this was a Disney/marvel movie it would have done a billion

outside of the cap, iron man, and avengers. I don't think it would have done a billion most of the other Disney/Marvel movies only do this much if they're lucky enough.

 

When you say Cap, you mean Avengers 2.5. Without the Avengers ensemble, Cap III wouldn't have done a billion. Look at the total for Cap II.

I too wonder how much the Joker and Batman (two characters that ended up being completely superfluous to the plot of the movie) added to the SS BO.

They weren't just superfluous - the Batman-Deadshot scene was straight-up dumb.

 

We literally _just_ saw Deadshot make a complicated bank shot that establishes his marksmanship genius, and then two minutes later he doesn't take a much easier single bank shot against Batman, point blank??

 

Ridiculous.

 

The movie set us up precisely for that resolution, and then doesn't follow through.

If this was a Disney/marvel movie it would have done a billion

 

and the RT score would've been 3x the WB sweet spot

 

And it would have done all that without any changes to what we saw on the screen.

 

DC will get there. Marvel took time to build up to where it is at now.

 

Marvel came out of the gate w/ IM- still considered one of the best superhero flicks. WB has laid 3 turds in a row.

Imagine how much they will make when the figure it out considering their 2nd tier property "turd", Suicide Squad, has taken in more worldwide than IM, soon to be domestically as well, and has already topped Winter Soldier domestically by a huge amount.

And WB made more off their 1st 3 "turds" than Marvel did with their 1st 3 "masterpieces". Imagine what WB will make when they fix the few problems they have. WB turds are worth more than Marvel's golden eggs.

 

And Marvel's 1st movie in their cinema universe is Incredible Hulk, not Iron Man.

Beat me to it.

I think SS will pass BvS domestically. I'd say they land around 330 - 335 domestic & 425 - 430 internationally (with 15 - 20+ million still to come from Japan) for a worldwide total of 755 - 765 million. I think it's doing well compared to BvS, which had a much stronger opening & dropped very quickly. Without China BvS would have only made about 10 - 20 million more than SS will.

Although I realize there is no convincing you about Suicide Squad - and that's okay - in this case there is an explanation. It's called shot preparation.

 

When we see the character scene with Deadshot, remember he was preparing the location for his shot before taking out his target. Including the reflective plate he placed on the fence so his laser range finder could gauge distance and location. Though the laser then bouncing off in three directions was more 'comic book' than common everyday experience.

 

So when Batman uses surprise to take on Deadshot, there is no preparation available for Floyd to apply immediately. And any rounds he may attempt to bounce off the wall could strike his daughter. So he has to go for the straight shot - which would have been through his daughter.

 

Even the most skilled shooters (and I knew quite a few solid marksmen in the Army) always benefited from preparation. Taking a 'charge right in and start shooting' approach doesn't always go so well.

 

Now back to your local 'hate-on'.

The assassination scene where Deadshot uses the range finder to gauge his distance.

Imagine how much they will make when the figure it out considering their 2nd tier property "turd", Suicide Squad, has taken in more worldwide than IM, soon to be domestically as well, and has already topped Winter Soldier domestically by a huge amount.

 

Your stats about Iron Man are wrong on three counts:

 

1) Iron Man took in $586 million worldwide. Adjusted for inflation, that's $746 million in today's dollars. Call me when SS reaches that number.

 

2) Iron Man took in $318 million domestic, which is $384 million in today's dollars. Ditto.

 

3) Even given those numbers, as Bosco's charts have shown, it's impossible to compare worldwide totals from 8 years ago to those of today, as the international box office has hugely expanded over that time.

The key to that scene is Batman doesn't move. Not even a flinch. He was never in any danger, daughter or no daughter. Let's not forget... he's Batman!

I stand corrected. I forgot it came out a month after Iron Man.
