conversation with Weta VFX Supervisor MATT AITKEN talking Marvel&#8217;s ETERNALS and the award-worthy visual mastery that he and his team bring to the fore to not only showcase director Chloe Zhao&#8217;s storytelling style but also to bring to life all things Eternals and Deviants.<\/p>\n<p>Always a joy to speak with anyone at Weta, MATT AITKEN is hands down one of my favorite VFX Supervisors.\u00a0 We last spoke for <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em> and discussed Weta&#8217;s work on the film, most particularly with the third act climactic battle scene (you know the one!).\u00a0 On wrapping <em>Endgame,\u00a0<\/em>Matt and his team went right to work on ETERNALS, a project that took him on location to the Canary Islands during production where, once again, Weta focused on that all-important third act as well as other key VFX components of the film.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve joked with Matt that Weta is like Marvel&#8217;s designated hitter to craft jaw-dropping VFX for climactic third acts.<\/p>\n<p>Digging in, Matt goes into great detail explaining how Weta created and developed, among others:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a VFX visual language that embraced director Chloe Zhao&#8217;s storytelling style of wide-angle panoramic vistas and deep focus<\/li>\n<li>the most challenging VFX &#8211; cosmic energy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"
