French Video Shows Ryan Meinerding Talking About Working With Marvel Studios

For his French exhibition, Ryan Meinerding talked about what it was like to working on the Marvel films.

Most of the text is in French, but you get a pretty good idea based on his English responses. If you know French and want to translate I'd be happy to add them.

The most interesting part is working with the different directors of the Marvel films.

Working with Kenneth Branaugh, director of Thor (2011)
"Kenneth Branaugh...always had very specific things that he wanted out of the characters and the costumes and the key frame moments. It was amazing how specific he would be about some of the key frame moments...he would want it tweaked in a very specific way"

Working with Joe Johnston, Director of Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
Working with Joe Johnston is fantastic. Because he's one of the only directors I've ever worked with because if he didn't like the way something worked he would just sit down and draw it to fix it. Because...he worked on the Star Wars movies and the Indiana Jones movies as an artist. So that was an amazing experience because...he would actually sit down with us to try and figure it out."
Working with Joss Whedon director of The Avengers (2012)
He knows the comics better than we do...He would...have very, very specific ideas about costumes....Specifically which [comic] artist's work he relate it to. Basically, he gave us a lot of information to start off with each of the characters and we just tried to keep up with his mind. Because, he thinks fast and he writes even faster.


What did you think of the interview? Did you learn anything new about Ryan or his work on the films?
