All the Trick Arrows in Hawkeye

First up, Marvel sat down for a chat with Greg Steele, VFX supervisor of the "Hawkeye" series, to find out how they brought the various trick arrows in Clint Barton's arsenal to life. Along with the physical arrows used on set, VFX have to bring them all to life because Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld aren't actually firing any projectiles from their bows during production. Watch the whole video for more insight into the creation of various action sequences from the entire season.
