After officially signing the contract with the production crew, Martin didn't bother with anything else and immediately dove into the preparatory work.
Compared to any other character he had played before, the modeling work for Benjamin Button was much more troublesome.
Industrial Light & Magic sent a special effects team of dozens of people to Paramount Pictures.
For the first half month after Martin joined the crew, his job was all about cooperating with the special effects team for modeling.
Mainly using his face.
In the special effects room, Eric, the project manager from Industrial Light & Magic, led Martin to a device and sat down, then said to the operator, "Ready to start."
The platform shaped like a human face automatically rotated and stopped in front of Martin.
Eric instructed, "Martin, lean forward, rest your chin on the support, and look straight into the camera. We need to model the smile of an older person."
Martin nodded, "No problem."
