If you love the HUD (heads up display) in The Avengers, take a look at these artwork from its designer Jayse Hansen, who has posted stills and concept art over at Cargo Collective:
Warning: tons of amazing images, so a bit slow loading - Nerd Approved has a select few in its gallery to whet your appetite: LinkThis is just an image dump of marvel approved stills and screenshots of my work on the film. I'll do a proper post soon - this is a fraction of the work - But I had the distinct pleasure of working with Cantina Creative, leading the design of the glass screens for the Helicarier in the Avengers. I also led the design and animation of the all new and upgraded Mark VII Hud.
All work was done in Illustrator, After Effects and Cinema 4d.Included are some partial explanations of how the HUD diagnostic functions
Variations of it in 'all clear' mode, and a 'battle mode', after the suit has suffered damage and new windows have popped up to show depleted weapon stores and hazardous environmentals and general.The flight menu was designed with input from an A-10 Fighter Pilot. I like to keep my stuff accurate - while still taking design liberties that films afford.
