The Dark Knight
Once Gotham's "white knight," District Attorney Harvey Dent's gritty transformation into Two-Face 2008's The Dark Knight was some serious wizardry. "This character was one of our major VFX challenges," said Nick Davis, the film's Visual Effects Supervisor. "Chris [Nolan] was not interested in going the traditional make-up route. He felt that it would be an additive effect, rather than the subtractive effect that he felt the character required. So, instead of adding a layer of material to the actor's skin, we actually removed the skin digitally."
