Man of Steel is an interesting case, though, because when the blockbuster required a farm that could be used for the Kent homestead, they found a mostly great place and then made some major steps to totally change it.Īs revealed in behind-the-scenes footage on the Man of Steel Blu-ray, one part of this effort included building a whole farmhouse on the property, but far more nuts is the fact that the production got the farm to change its crops. While there is always pursuit of perfection – with rigorous searches done for ideal places that suit all of the needs of a given production – more often than not there is a need for compromise. Scouting locations for a film is a job filled with pitfalls.

The Farmer Who Owned The Kent Farm Location Had To Change Their Crops For The Movie As a bonus, it turned out that Henry Cavill was quite adept at handling himself on the deck of a boat, which naturally made the whole experience a lot easier. This led to the rental of the Debbie Sue, as is revealed on the Journey of Discovery featurette on the Man of Steel Blu-ray – which was a boat that was sailed up from Seattle to Vancouver Island for the production. It’s arguably why Clark Kent’s time on the crab boat in the first act of the movie looks so authentic, as while there were originally plans to film that sequence in a studio, Zack Snyder ultimately decided that it would be better to be shot on an actual boat.
Green screens can be amazing, but they also aren’t yet a total substitute for on-location shooting.

Zack Snyder Didn't Want To Do The Boat Sequence With Green Screen, So He Put His Crew On The OceanĪs demonstrated by many, many scenes in Man of Steel, visual effects can be used to accomplish extraordinary things in modern filmmaking – but at the same time there are certain things that can’t be fully and properly captured about reality in a computer.
