Go Behind the Scenes of Snow White and the Huntsman (now in theaters). In the above interview, The Mill’s Will Cohen describes the process used to create the movie’s supporting villain, “Mirror Man”. While The Mill’s title sequence for the film is cool enough, Mirror Man is quite remarkable because he is fully CG. For more details on the CG technicalities of the character, check out The Mill’s blog post on Mirror Man.
UPDATE: Thanks to a helpful comment from a reader, it appears the Mirror Man character might have been inspired by the amazing sculptor Kevin Francis Gray. You decide.
