Real Steel: case study in CGI / live action integration




Digital Domain (DD) has an outstanding reputation for the integration of live action and computer graphics. From films such as Apollo 13 to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and more recently on Transformers: Dark of the Moon, DD have proven they can combine live action and digital almost better than anyone in the industry. So we thought we would use Real Steel to learn from the best and explore some of the tricks and techniques of integrating CGI and live action.
Real Steel is a gritty, white knuckle story, set in the near future, where robot boxing is the world’s top sport, and a struggling promoter’s son feels he’s found a champion in a discarded robot. During the robot’s hopeful rise to the top, the former boxer Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) re-discovers he has an 11-year-old son, Max (Dakota Goyo), and together they take their robot Atom to a Rocky-esque showdown.
