Want to make something quick and easy? No problem. Want to dig in and make something that’ll really turn some heads? You can do that, too.
In this tutorial, we reveal how you can design your own futuristic UI visuals from scratch. We’re even giving away all of our Iron Man HUD elements free to download.
Shooting and lighting your footage
Need backup? That’s our department. We show you new filmmaking techniques, every week. Find out how to plan, how to shoot, how to edit.
Great visual effects start with the script and the shoot. That’s why we focus as much on practical filmmaking as digital tricks.
Filming the HUD required very specific lighting and framing. It’s the invisible details that make shots come to life. Check it out in our behind-the-scenes video.
Take it to the next level with repulsor boots
A high-tech HUD isn’t any use without an Iron Man suit to go with it! Watch our Assemble VFX masterclass to learn how to create the Iron Man repulsor boots effect with a copy of HitFilm and a box of scraps (In a cave!)
