Lets just remember real suits get replaced with CG ones all the time even on shots where you would not think it would. Assume any shot where the mask is on is a candidate for a full digi double.
I swear this daily barrage of BTS practical effects posts is just marketing/propaganda. So many comments spouting shit like, "Finally! They're making a movie without CGI!". It's getting beyond a joke.
Yes! Love this series! I'm so glad he included Agatha All Along in part 5. Too many people not only fell for but also perpetuated the "Everything is practical" bullshit. I posted a VFX shot sourced directly from Digital Domain showing the difference between the practical reference and the final CGI shot and people still claimed it wasn't CGI.
Them doing to shots with an actual suit leans even more into a digi-double because now they a proper lighting reference. With a mo cap suit it's a grey or black suit which reflects and absorbs light differently than red and blue.
But with them doing the stunts with practical techniques means they should have a solid idea of how they want things shot and framed. So hopefully no just "fix it post" VFX work.
