Natural daylight served as
Opaloch's primary source on the back
lot and was controlled in all but extreme
wide shots by a 60'x60' truss frame

skinned with Quarter Grid and
suspended from a construction crane
set up by key grip Michael Coo and his
team. For tighter coverage, the crew
added Light Grid on a 20'x20' flyswatter for further diffusion. Opaloch then
created backlight with remotecontrolled LRX 18K HMI Pars from
above, which were mounted on
Condors based behind the greenscreen.
On several occasions, gusting
winds and flash thunderstorms sent cast
and crew scurrying to Stage 2, where
they would shoot interior-for-exterior
footage including close-ups of Scarlet
Witch and Vision, and Mackie flying
on wires in front of greenscreen. "It's
always challenging to mimic that realworld environmental wrap on the
subject [when shooting indoors],"
Opaloch says. "We would try to keep
those shots as small as possible so they
could be lit on set. My goal in those
situations is always to reproduce what
your eyes would see in reality." To
approximate the ambient sky, the crew
built two 40'x40' soft boxes fitted with
Kino Flo Image 85s and diffused with
Light Grid and Full Grid - sometimes simultaneously for double diffusion - and they placed 20Ks with Half
Blue as high as possible behind the
greenscreen to emulate the LRX "sun"
backlight.
