Neither 20th Century Fox nor ILM has released behind-the-scenes footage of the bear attack FX, or even the clip itself (there are only about four seconds of the scene in the trailer), but there is a featurette about the film's Oscar-nominated makeup effects showing the gruesome result of the bear vs. Visual effects have come a long way since the first Academy Award for Best Engineering Effects went to the World War I drama Wings in 1929. Details such as the fur of the bear and the menace of its face, breath, drool and blood added to the dramatic textures of the imagery. With footage of a real bear attack as a guide, the crew shot footage of both DiCaprio and a stunt man replacement - the camera hovering as close to the action as possible - and edited together various shots into one long take with Zeno, Maya and Renderman software. The vicious attack on Leonardo DiCaprio by a grizzly bear in "The Revenant" was achieved entirely with a CGI bear replacing a stunt performer.

One interesting touch an audience might not even think of as effects works was the helmet visors for the astronauts on the Martian surface: Since glass would reflect the camera and crew, the visors (and the proper reflections) were added in digitally afterwards. The resulting film, Interstellar (2014), won DNEG its second Oscar for best visual effects (after Inception in 2011).

(Go Pro camera footage had to be up-converted.) Unlike "Mad Max," which was converted to 3D in post-production, all of "The Martian" and its effects were shot native in stereo with 5K RED cameras.
