‘Days of Future Past’ Quicksilver filmed in 3600 fps.

We recently heard about the process for filming Evan Peter as Quicksilver in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST and now we have more from the actor, who describes filming in 3600 frames per second and character’s traits.

Via io9:

Bryan singer tweeted a picture of the set where he’s filming your scenes at Quicksilver, and it’s set up to film at 3600 frames per second. Holy cow. What it like shooting in that?

Evan Peters: Bright. It was incredibly bright. A lot of the crew and Bryan, himself, got to wear sunglasses. And the actors had to keep their eyes open for a long, long time, with that bright light just blaring at you. It’s like the sun. It’s brighter than the sun. It’s right there in your eyes. But the end result is so worth it. You just power through it.

Does it hurt?

It does kind of hurt. I don’t know how safe that is? Keeping your eyes open for more than 20 seconds in that light. But yeah it does hurt. It’s really difficult to keep your eyes open.

I only saw a part of the set in Singer’s photo — how big is the actual set? What does the footage look like when it’s all done?

It’s quite a big room. It’s super, super, super, super slomo. You can see raindrops frozen in the air. Stuff like that. It’s amazing how that camera works.

Will your character actually have silver hair?

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it’s cool.

What was it like working with Ian McKellen as your father, Magneto?

No, I worked with Michael Fassbender. And he’s awesome. He’s amazing to work with. I worked with him and Hugh [Jackman] and James [McAvoy]. And… I won’t say any more. I worked with all of them. They are awesome. Seriously, the nicest people in the world, couldn’t have been more welcoming.
