See the Incredible Amount of Work It Took to Make Deadpool's Mask
io9.gizmodo.com: One of the Deadpool movie’s best elements was how the movie brought his mask to life. This might shock you to learn, but there was an astounding amount of work involved in making a mask that could be as expressive as it is in the comics, but that Ryan Reynolds’ could still see and talk out of.

This is awesome! I saw Deadpool in theaters when it first came out and I was very pleasantly entertained by the the character that Ryan Reynolds was depicting. I didn't have any prior knowledge of the comic book character of Deadpool, but from trailers I deducted that he was a very abrasive, humorous guy. I think the behind the scenes actions about the creation of Deadpool's mask is really intriguing and interesting because I was really under the impression that his facial expressions were mostly created and manipulated using CGI. It's also really neat to see that the eye pieces pop out from underneath the mask and change depending on how Deadpool is feeling. I think if I ever got the chance to work on a production like this, being able to be involved with the painting and costumes process with the costume would be such a great experience. Although, at that level, it makes me wonder if you feel more like a cog in the machine than anything..Regardless, an opportunity like this would be awesome.
Looking at the amount of work that goes into making superhero costumes for Marvel and DC and all manner of action films always reminds me how ridiculous it actually is to think that these characters dressed themselves. Like, do you know how to sew stretch knits? Do you even own a serger? The Amazing Spider Man literally shows Peter Parker stitching his unitard with a needle and thread. It's hilarious, really. And the best part - I always believe it. It is only when I am forcibly reminded by articles and behind the scenes features that they could never actually pull that off on their own. Just imagine Deadpool spending the amount of time those engineers did making his own mask (not even accounting for the fact that it would take him three times as long with his skills and labor). If he actually made that thing, he would never get to the plotline of the freaking movie. And what do I do when I see these things? I fall for it every time. Maybe that's why I like Iron Man so much - at least Tony Stark can actually make his own suit with the skills and money that he has. Compared to many other origin stories, his is a lot more practical. Rant aside, I have a hefty to-do list for when I get home, and watching Deadpool is low-key in the top three. You go Ryan Reynolds. Wear that mask like you made it.
I honestly never considered the complexity that mask took to create given how simple the product is. That being said, the detachable eyes are really cool. It makes a lot of sense given that I assume the mask isn’t easy to take on and off. This video makes me think of all the seemingly simple details in movies that have taken a lot of time and thought and skill, but have been executed such that they seem as if they are just meant to exist that way. Obviously they don’t want the audience to be thinking about the creation of the mask, they want them to be focused on the story. This article also makes me think about whether or not I’d be interested in working in film. Even though I’m more used to live theater, I always find these kinds of projects to be really cool. I wonder what working on things like this for movies would be like.
This is so cool! I always love seeing the behind the scenes effects of pretty much anything. It is always great to see the amount of care and effort put into these things. Just the sheer number of people and all of their specialties is astounding.I think that it is amazing how the team started designing the mask even before getting onto the project. My favorite part of the video is when they demonstrated how they could remove the black parts from around his eyes. It really showed the complexity of the mask. It surprised me to see how rigid the mask was, as they really made it look like it was only fabric.I like the fact that they did some character analysis which affected the shape of the mask. I wonder how taking an already loved and well-known superhero differs from a new character.
Well, Deadpool is Marvels characters and really superhero costumes are so costly and expensive. But this much I don't know that well thanks for the information. I am the big fan of Marvel movies so I don't care about his mask Simply enjoy the movie. Recently I heard about the 2018 Deadpool 2 movie. I already Watch Deadpool 2 online trailer and now waiting for the movie.
