Morbius

Morbius was packed with intense particle FX and some wild facial transformations.

Digital Domain handled a large portion of the VFX work on Marvel’s Morbius, and I was fortunate to contribute to several key moments during the film’s final battle. One of my main responsibilities was the villain’s death sequence — specifically the facial morphing from monstrous to human form.

The close-up morph shots were particularly challenging. We combined CG elements with plate projections onto geometry to create a seamless transition between creature and human. To enhance the look, I used planar tracking and spline warps to add subtle details — including making the actor appear sick and weakened as he reverted to human form.
