Captain America: The First Avenger

You might not be aware of this, but Chris Evans, who played Captain America, has a rather large and muscular build. Which raises the question: how did they make him seem so small at the beginning of the film? Well, they had another, smaller, actor come in and recreate the scenes shot, and the animators would combine the two to give the illusion of a smaller Chris Evans. It sounds weird, we know. But it worked flawlessly!

It goes without saying that Chris Evans didn’t actually zipline onto a moving train for a scene in the film. All the same, it’s very impressive how the scene was completed digitally. Just imagine having to zipline across a bright green room and make it seem as if you’re on a snowy mountain!
