Gareth Edwards’ “The Creator” was the big winner at the 22nd Visual Effects Society Awards (held February 21 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel). The AI-themed, sci-fi actioner earned five awards, including the top photoreal feature VFX prize. The other awards were for modeling (Nomad), created environment (Floating Village), effects simulations, and compositing & lighting (Bar).
“The Creator” utilized an innovative streamlining process in post, in which Ilm designed and placed the naturalistic VFX over the actors playing AI simulants and the photographic plates as set extensions. This made the $80 million indie look like a $200 million blockbuster, with director Edwards shooting the entire film guerilla-style in 80 locations throughout Southeast Asia as the primary camera operator with a small crew and natural light.
Meanwhile, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” the animated feature Oscar favorite (snubbed by the Academy’s VFX branch), took home four awards, including the top animated VFX prize. Sony Pictures Imageworks innovated...

Marvel's mightiest heroes are now assembling under the supervision of Joss Whedon.
It's been announced that production has started in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on team-up adventure The Avengers. It's directed by Whedon, who is also the screenwriter on this hotly-anticipated project.
Filming will then continue in Cleveland, Ohio, and New York City, says the Marvel Studios statement.
A teaser image was also unveiled as the first set picture from the movie and you can see that above. It's an amusingly tantalising hint at the gathering of heroes we will see on the big screen next summer (although I doubt the Hulk would fit in that chair or that it would withstand his weight!)
The official announcement from Marvel confirms who exactly will be joining forces, including familiar faces and new additions.

Over the weekend, Obsessed With Film was sent an email from an anonymous source claiming to have come into possession of a 08/04/2011 shooting draft script titled “Group Hug”. This is well known to be the secret production title of The Avengers, Marvel/Disney’s ensemble superhero movie that began filming on Easter Monday. The e-mail claimed the 129 page script bore the Marvel Studios letterhead and all the pages were watermarked with the name of the actor who the leaked script belongs too.
I was then asked to contact the source to ‘negotiate terms’.
Out of mild curiosity I asked for visual clarification that the script was real in the form of some photo’s (I was never going to make a serious offer, I just wanted to see which actor will get in trouble for letting his script go loose) and what returned was two images which clearly show the...

I’ve been debating over the last few hours whether or not to release this… We received some photos that are being claimed as pages straight from the script of The Avengers. While the pages mentioned don’t give too many details, it is a pretty cool look into what we can expect from next summer’s superhero flick which pulls in the Marvel comic book characters Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, Hulk and Nick Fury.
Now, I can’t confirm these photos are from the actual script, but from the “official” look these pages have, I gotta say they are legit. Anyway, hit the jump to see the leaked script pages for The Avengers.
As you can see from these photos, the film is shooting under the covert name of “Group Hug.” Check out the official press release sent out by Marvel yesterday.

Marvel have started what is sure to be an ongoing mixture of tease and inconsequential nonsense by posting this picture of the set of The Avengers.
It’s a nicely done picture, which simply states to fans – It is happening. There’s a nice S.H.I.E.L.D logo on the wall and the main players director Joss Whedon has to contain all have their chairs, which is good because comfort is all important when you’re saving the world.
With Kenneth Branagh’s Thor doing very well in cinemas and Captain America spitting out decent trailers what we need is a look at Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and Hulk to complete the picture but I’m sure they’ll save that for the trailer.
Here’s that picture,
And now the entire press release copied out in neat for your eyes,

Here's the first Image and press releases for Marvels superhero team up 'The Avengers,' that has Joss Whedon at the helm:
Joss Whedon's statement:
Hi Pumpkins, joss here. Tomorrow we start shooting (I Think I'm legally permitted to say that). Day one. That's right. We'll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address:[Marvel Lawyers rush in, take Joss's keyboard, blowtorch a picture of his family like in "Stormy Monday", drink his milkshake, leave the seat up, fluff his pillows, violently unfluff his pillows, leave] Went too far. My bad. Anyhoo, it should be a fun day, followed by the eighty thousand other fun days it will take to finish this. I'll be checking in from time to time, if there's news or I crave attention (i.e. am awake) . None of it will be Avengers news -- I have some very denty pillows to remind of that -- but I may have tidbits. (They're not about Firefly. I should say that up front, if only to protect Sis Mo from the Hatorz.
