Sometimes these were bluescreen-covered pieces or gold-surfaced pieces that VFX replaced, but, as noted, they served as the apparatus that stunt performers, overseen by stunt co-ordinator Rob Inch, did leap and jump on. For the various mechanical contraptions and apparatus that the Amazonians leap and jump across in the stadium, art department designs informed what would be built on location for the performers to interact with. Stadium and surrounding scenes were filmed in Fuerteventura and Tenerife, and in the UK. So, even though it might be a really small element in, the shot was driven by what could be achieved practically.” “The stunt team and the special effects team did a great job of being able to let us fly performers. Proceeds from selling those bracelets will help train female artisans in El Salvador.“The essential theme of the way that Patty wanted to work was that it was always, ‘If we can shoot something, we should shoot something,’” recounts John Moffatt. The original bracelets Mena created for the Wonder Woman premiere were autographed by Gal Gadot. It was exciting “and, above all, fun” to work with Warner Brothers, Mena said. She explained that Wonder Woman’s character is reflected in the bracelets’ materials: stones and crystals (“wonder”), recycled tire-tube rubber (“courage”), and copper wires from a utility company (“power”). So Mena designed three styles of cuff bracelets, similar to those worn in the movie. The studio also likes Mena’s modern aesthetic - and her firm’s pro-environment, fair-trade practices. That’s one reason why Warner Brothers asked her to design a jewelry line that reflects Wonder Woman’s attributes of courage, wonder and power. Mena hires and trains needy Salvadoran women to produce her creations. Mena’s hand-woven bracelet is made of copper strands reused from energy meters. It has also sparked a new collection of jewelry by Salvadoran designer Lula Mena. Wonder Woman has not just left its mark on the box office.
