How to rejuvenate Schwarzenegger for "Terminator: Genesis"

In the trailer of the fifth film about the battle of people with cars, the creators intrigued the audience with the scene of the battle between the 2015 and 1984 terminators. The rejuvenated cyborg performed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator: Genesis" became one of the surprises of the picture, and if someone thinks that simple manipulations with the use of modern computer technologies have easily made this possible, he is very mistaken.

To rejuvenate the terminator was involved heavy artillery of Hollywood - a team of special effects led by Sheldon Stopsak ("Guardians of the Galaxy" and "X-Men: Days of the Past").

On the usual transfer of staff with the young Schwarzenegger from the 1984 film could not be a speech, because according to the idea of ​​the director, only a young cyborg who had come from the past, who was dressed in Adam's costume, must fight his opponent - himself in the old version of 2015. Such an idea, even Stopsak proclaimed completely insane ... and his team took up its implementation.

With the use of frames from the early films with Schwarzenegger's participation, a huge library of images of facial expressions and muscle movements for the image of the young cyborg was created. To recreate the figure of the Terminator of the 80's, the footage from the documentary about Arnold Schwarzenegger "Shake iron" was used. All these animators combined into one image of a digital person using computer technology.

"I think they saw more photos of Arnold Schwarzenegger than anyone on the planet," the producer of the picture said about the work of the Stopsak team.

But that's not all. To implement the conceived battle scene of two generations of cyborgs, a stand-in was needed, most similar to the young terminator of parameters. They became a big fan of the actor's talent Schwarzenegger 27-year-old athlete from Australia Brett Azar.

In general, work on only one unique image of a young Schwarzenegger lasted 12 months. And all so that the viewer can enjoy a stunningly realistic and exciting, but lasted only five minutes (!) Action scene in the movie "Terminator: Genesis."

The latest news indicates that the 67-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger himself appreciated the work on his rejuvenation:

It seems to me that they approached my age wisely. A very thoughtful process.

The special effects group states that the best evaluation of their work will be if the viewer thinks that the scenes with the young terminator of 30 years ago were simply cut out from the famous very first film about cyborgs of 1984.
