Beauty And The Beast
Throughout the filming of Beauty and the Beast, Dan Stevens was wearing an enormous gray motion-capture suit. Not only that, but he had to walk with spring lifts on his feet for extra height. "It's an ordeal for my calf muscles alone," the actor said. Fortunately, Stevens was able to forego a camera rig in order to help the scenes opposite Emma Watson feel more natural.
The Hunger Games
Although the hologram and desktops manipulated by the Control Room operators in The Hunger Games looked like real technology, it was all a CGI illusion. "There was tremendous pressure on us that we were constantly looking for creative ways to make up for the lack of time and money," said Sheena Duggal, the film's VFX supervisor. The Hunger Games contains 1,200 VFX shots, all of which were completed in a matter of weeks.
