![]() ![]() Schematics and data screens were situated on each side with the table consisting of three landscape screens. Especially, the ones in the galley at the back of the spaceship, where it is darker and screens like the table or the background tubular screens were showing up nicely through the lens. ![]() We believe our graphics helped the overall look of the set with the illumination they provided. Onset playback assisted with lighting and character interaction. Therefore, we incorporated glitching and malfunctioning to give it some character. It was important to convey that the ship had seen action and had been hacked and jacked up by Quill and his team, reveals Romances. Each screen had different background tones within the range Charles defined with abstract and organic looking motion elements to reinforce the alien backstory of the Guardians and the ship. Every UI had a distinct appearance which spanned six consoles for the pilot, co-pilot, engineer 2, engineer 2, gunner 1, and gunner 2 that all featured a combination of two to six medium screens, plus secondary control panels. In the case of the new Guardians spaceship, Charles wanted us to bring in abstract elements, with a diversified color palette that spanned cyans, blues, purples, and pinks, which is completely different to the look of the previous Milano. Charles was always clear about what he wanted, states Romances. Guiding the look development was production designer Charles Wood who wanted to avoid symmetrical designs. We showed them what we were doing on-set in terms of the quality and detail, and made sure to leave a 'consistency request' for when the compositors applied our graphic elements in VFX. Our concern was to maintain consistency between the detailed graphics we created for onset, and those which would need to be comped in post, so our conversations in Atlanta were about how to achieve that, notes Romances. Maintaining consistency was paramount when dealing with the visual effects team headed by Dan DeLeeuw. Even when we were sending some of our graphics to visual effects for the Escape Pod, for example, we still shared the same Illustrator files we created the graphics with. We were producing assets for the onset props so we did not have to adapt to any other vendor requirements. The pipeline did not need to be modified. For the 3D parts we did all the work in Cinema4D, rendering with Arnold, and also using X-Particles for some simulations. We designed most of the user interfaces in Illustrator and animated those 2D elements with After Effects, explains Romances. Our desks in the art department were right next to the set decoration department, and most of the team we already knew from Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy or Captain America, so we knew who to go ask to get the right sort of inspiration. The San Francisco operations did not share work with the other Territory Studio facilities located in London and New York City, but was provided with plenty of storyboards, concept art, and previz. Due to the narrative, action scenes, and the sheer number of superheroes to fit in, there were more changes in the way the story evolved compared to other Marvel films we have worked on. This film had many different aspects, starting with the fact that we were shooting in Atlanta instead of the UK, and that it was the first time that we see the Guardians of The Galaxy merge into the Avengers world, notes Romances. With Avengers: Infinity War dominating the box office, the San Francisco facility of Territory Studio led by Creative Director Marti Romances was responsible for providing 130 animated screens that included UI for the updated Milano piloted by the Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as the Avengers compound.
