How did they create the hole in Robert Downey Jr.'s chest for the Iron Man movie?
Don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm wondering how they created the hole in Robert Downey Jr.'s chest so they can put the reactor there? Here is the video "Iron Man: Behind the Scenes" where you can see the actual hole; this is behind the scenes so no CG.
Best Answer
This was done using a prosthetic chest on his real chest (make sure to sing that to the tune of "We Want A Rock" by They Might Be Giants).
Skip to 2 minutes in for an explanation.
But to sum up: RDJ is actually sitting inside the chair you see. The chest is a sculpted prosthetic laying above him.

Answer 2
you can see in this pic They first created a prosthetic chest over his real chest and spray tanned it to match his original skin tone. Then they put in his "heart" so it would look like it's actually a hole in his chest while his actual chest is underneath it.
