One of the more popular parts of this summer’s The Avengers was Mark Ruffalo’s performance as Bruce Banner/The Hulk and with just cause.
If you loved his performance as much as we did, then you’ll probably be excited to see this quick behind-the-scenes expose on how they created the Hulk form the guys at Media Freaks Blog.
Mark Ruffalo appeared on set in his motion capture suit to record his movements. The suit had a fake Hulk torso to capture the size and width of the finished CGI version.
Ruffalo would then perform a take on a full motion capture stage.
To keep the Hulk from either being too washed-out or pop out too much, ILM would render the Hulk in grayscale and increase the green until it fit the scene. As a result, the tone of green used in the Hulk’s skin color changes throughout the movie.
