The hype for #AvengersEndgame was just different…😱😱 Watch Thor & Jane Reunite in the New ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Trailer JAELANI TURNER WILLIAMS

The Thor universe is a deceptively calm place at the beginning of a project, you know the characters, you know the universe.

Or you think you do. And then it all gets turned upside down.

Taika’s a creative force of nature and wonderfully restless so you can be entirely sure he’s not going to sit still and make a copy of Ragnarok.

If Ragnarok was ‘cut the character down physically but prove he’s got the gumption to succeed’ then Love & Thunder is the opposite – Thor’s superpowers are never in doubt, but his character is.

From a visual storytelling point of view, that changes the way you approach how the VFX are done.

The subtleties are always cool to watch as you’re putting a movie together – something as simple as the number of frames it takes for a character’s power to rekindle makes all the difference.

I’m always drawn to learn from the audio crew, they come in much later but if we work together – even taking the nudges from temp fx added for test screenings – the whole film draws itself together better!
