- Hey everybody.
We're about to break down
how we defeated mother nature
in the final battle of the
Umbrella Academy, season two.
Warning, spoilers head.
The handler summons 8,000
agents to attack the farmhouse.
And only a small portion were real extras,
and the rest is all CG behind them.
- Oh my God.
- One of the big problems we had
with the scene was continuity.
Halfway through filming,
it started to snow.
Guess who didn't show up?
Most of the extras.
So the patch you're looking at now is
us understanding who
do we have to paint out
to make continuity match
for the earlier scenes.
This is the big reveal of the
agents charging the farmhouse.
This is almost all CG created.
We stole the farmhouse and the
barn and a couple of trees,
but this was all shot in the snow.
So I had to replace everything,
including all the people.
(dramatic instrumental music)
(woman gasping)
A lot of R and D went into
the creation of the shockwave,
especially Liala's power bubble.
The bubble had to be a rigid element
to interact with Vanya's shockwave.
So we had to make sure
that the simulations
of the shockwave, when it hit that bubble,
that it went around it.
So getting that interaction
and getting that weird distortion,
having all those bodies,
what we call ragdoll, into
the air, all the debris,
the suitcases, all their guns,
had to be CG and had to interact.
It was really, really complicated.
Any agent that was close to camera,
we wanted it to be a
real extra or real actor.
Nothing beats the real thing.
So we always try to do great
stunts, great wire work,
and incorporate that
into our CG backgrounds.
Thanks for watching,
and be sure to check out the
Umbrella Academy, season two,
only on Netflix.
