Frozen II's Greatest Challenge Was Probably Not What You'd Guess

In fact, Frozen II introduces a new character, Gale, a sprightly wind spirit whose movement is shown through moving leaves and sticks, as well as blowing through human characters’ clothing and hair. Not actually “seeing” a physical manifestation of this character was actually the greatest challenge the movie faced.

VFX supervisor Steve Goldberg explained this effect on the movie in further detail, noting that multiple departments had to work together to bring the effect to life. And that was only the tip of the iceberg for the Frozen II addition. He noted:

In fact, in the interview with Indiewire, Steve Goldberg also explained Frozen II even created a new technology called Swoop to bring the aptly-named Gale to life. The end result is that the invisible wind can be seen on the big screen through the movement of natural objects in nature and even human hair, as seen below.

What Swoop basically does, according to Goldberg, is create a “wind” path for the animators. He noted,

Ultimately, however, it might have been a bit of a pain to bring to life onscreen, but Gale is a delightful addition to the Frozen II narrative and one audiences will be able to see for themselves starting this weekend. Frozen II is officially out on November 22, ahead of the Thanksgiving theatrical rush. You can take a look at our full list of holiday movies ahead of that rush.

Star Wars Lightsabers And The Famous Jedi And Sith Who Wielded Them

7 hours ago The lightsaber: it is the weapon of both the Jedi and the Sith in the Star Wars universe. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Powered by kyber crystals, these energy blades are capable of cutting into almost anything and deflecting blaster bolts. They come in assorted colors, and nearly every Force user featured in a galaxy far, far away has wielded one. Even a few individuals who aren’t gifted in the Force have had opportunities to use lightsabers. With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker , the final chapter of the Skywalker Saga, arriving soon, that movie might be the last time in a while that we see a lightsaber on the big screen, since we still have no official idea on what the next trilogy will be about (though the now-defunct Benioff/Weiss trilogy planned on exploring the origins of the Jedi). So because the end of an era is almost upon us, we’re looking back at the most famous lightsabers in Star Wars cinem...

What Avengers: Infinity War’s Doctor Strange Would Have Looked Like In Iron Man's Armor

7 hours ago Ever since that car crash cut short his surgical career and he discovered the existence of Kamar-Taj, Doctor Strange has dedicated his life to magic and using his sorcerous abilities to protect humanity, like when Thanos’ minions came calling in Avengers: Infinity War . That movie saw Strange teaming up with Iron Man, among other heroes, and some concept art has emerged showing the Master of the Mystic Arts relying on Tony Stark’s technology during the tale. Yes, it turns out a scenario was envisioned where Doctor Strange would don the Iron Man armor, and the artwork on the left side shows Strange combining his sorcery with the armor’s capabilities to protect himself against an attack from Ebony Maw, a member of Thanos’ Black Order. Presumably this moment would have taken place when Maw was torturing Strange aboard his ship. In the actual movie, there wasn’t an epic battle on the ship, as Spider-Man and Iron Man merely blasted a hole and Maw was sucked into the v...
