  • One of the biggest challenges for Hollywood’s stunt performers is creating flight that is both safe and believable. Since George Reeves portrayed Superman in the 1950s, movies and TV shows have used an endless variety of wires, pans, and other rigs to lift actors up high. The best tools depend on the type of flying on-screen. A huge breakthrough came in 1978's “Superman” when a visual effects artist discovered a way to operate the camera so that Christopher Reeve would appear to be flying even when he was lying flat. Today, many of those same wire and camera tricks are still used. However, digital doubles can make even the most dangerous flying tricks possible, while flying moves can be programmed in advance into a robotic arm, as seen in “Black Widow.” Elizabeth Olsen’s stunt double, CC Ice, told us about the many ways both Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War” and “WandaVision” made Wanda Maximoff fly.

    That flying shot where Wanda flies into the town is always my favorite shot because it looks so natural and looks like it abides by the laws of physics despite not being real. Unlike most scenes where they just add a digital double and motion blur for take off scenes. Flying scenes in general always just look so natural for humans to do. Always wished I could fly like that.

    I always find it so fascinating that we've gotten so far with the digital effects, that you can barely tell it's not real. But it still becomes uncanny valley and unbelievable if they never show an actual person. Something in your brain knows it's not real, without the real person.

    but Ultraman often uses camera trick instead of wire to fly. But one instance they did, it was when the Ultraman going to fly but pulled back to ground by enemies. Hilarious.
    that what my friend said, though. so I am probably wrong.
