June 13, 2013: Latino Review "Man of Steel" Cast Interviews

Man of Steel Latino Review published an interview with some members of the "Man of Steel" cast and crew, including this excerpt from Zack Snyder:

    This question is for Henry and for Michael, so I would like you to talk about the super powers that you have as characters. I was wondering, Henry, there was a lot of CGI, so doing the flight scenes, did you have to do something related to that, and then for both, you have super powers, so you're not fighting in a typical way. There's a martial arts style mixed with something different. So I would like you to talk about, first the flying thing for you, then for both, the martial arts.

    Cavill: Well, flight for one; there was a lot of rehearsal involved. When it came to actual super-speed flight, it was mostly belly pan work. Belly pan is sort of the mold of the front of a person's body, and you line it. There's a special gimbal created. So a guy in a green suit and a green screen moving it depending on Zack's direction, and I just had to imagine what it was like to fly. We had lots of help from Zack's imagery attached to it and his direction. There was also a lot of wirework, which we did during the whole stunt process. That was incredibly complex, and the guys tested it amazingly. A guy called Jim Churchman just did a fantastic job on the wires, and yeah, that was probably the funniest part for me as far as flying because I got to be 40 feet up in the air and sort of just completely out of control ñ sort of in my own control ñ somebody else's control, thank goodness. And that was the stuff, which made you feel like flight and Superman.
