DEPARTMENT www.postmagazine.com 19 POST NOVEMBER 2017 for Collaborative Media Production Networks Shared Storage Solutions See us at NAB NY, October 18-19 at the Javitz Center, booth N235 THE HULK TRANSFORMS In the new Marvel film, Thor: Ragnarok, viewers see the Hulk transform back into Bruce Banner for the first time on the planet Sakaar, in a somewhat unsettling sequence. The film's VFX supervisor, Jake Morrison explains, "The Banner transformation scene was something really risky — seconds before, the audience had been very comfort- able with the Hulk being this fun, lighthearted figure and then we ran straight at the 'tortured soul' vibe with a really violent transformation. My pitch for this was based on William Hurt's transformation in Ken Russell's Altered States, as he smashes himself from wall to wall to try and re-assert his humanity and [director] Taika dug that. If you see Mark [Ruffalo] in there, it's because we really had him running from one side of the quintet to the other, smash- ing SFX foam pieces."
