As part of AWN’s Professional Spotlight series -- a series of exclusive video interviews shot during the VIEW Conference in 2016 -- here is an in-depth two-part interview with Russell Earl, a VFX supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic. In this discussion, Russell talks about ILM’s extensive and challenging VFX work on the Marvel smash super hero hit, Captain America: Civil War. He also talks about digital doubles, on-set shooting challenges and the inherent difficulties of animating believable performances on the film.
