X2

For the sequel to the original X-men, Hammerhead Productions was again asked to contribute roughly 20 shots of Wolverine's claws, both extended and in action for X2. Supervisor Rebecca Marie resurrected the digital model that was created for the first film and tracked and rendered these claws into place. These effects significantly increased apparent danger while allowing the production the ease and safety of filming Hugh Jackman with bare knuckles.
