Happy Tuesday everyone We now have more info about the CGI techniques that are going to be used in Breaking Dawn to rapidly age Mackenzie’s character Renesmee. The CGI team is going to use a mixture of ‘Motion Capture’ and ‘Live Action’ Photography by fitting Mackenzie with an individually made skull cap fitted with a tiny camera positioned in front of her face. Like Avatar, the information collected about her facial expressions and eyes is then transmitted to computers.

As reported back in October Mackenzie’s face will then be digitally transferred onto the face and body of a younger child to create the illusion of her character’s rapid ageing. Besides the performance capture data which will be transferred directly to the computers, numerous reference cameras will give the digital artists multiple angles of each performance. All live action and motion capture footage will then be composited on screen

I love hearing how they are going to achieve Renesmee’s alarming growth rate, its so interesting to read what technology can do these days!! Thanks goes to @Makeupgaljo for the exclusive info! I have also added some more fanart to our Renesmee Section. The following manips were made by our good friend Sap, they are absolute works of art, so very magical to look at Make sure you check them out and tell us which one is your favourite! Mine are the beautiful meadow scene with Renesmee lying on Wolf Jacob and the scene in the snow with Nessie touching Aro’s face
