Paul Walker body doubles in Fast & Furious 7
I had just recently watched Fast & Furious 7. I am aware that Paul Walker's two brothers stood in as a body double for his character in order to finish filming some scenes.
I am also aware that they used CGI with his brothers as well.
My question is, does anyone know which scenes in the movie that his brothers were used in?
Best Answer
The Wiki on Fast 7 - Filming mentions (and shows an image of) one particular example at the end of the film.
Paul's face is CGI'd over whoever's torso they used for that scene. It is vague on the matter of other scenes though, simply mentioning that they also used it in scenes newly written to support the concept of Brian 'retiring' from Dom's group1.
That particular image would have been as Brian pulled up beside Dom, chiding him for leaving the beach without saying goodbye.
- I expect those scenes were when Dom/Mia/Brian are in conversation as to him 'missing the bullets' and possibly the mini-van scene at the school (showing his awkwardness with family life).

As Weta VFX supervisor Joe Letteri explained to THR in 2015, the Fast & Furious 7 effects team created the CGI replacement for Walker's face by first scanning his brothers, in order to use them as a point of reference.How CGI made Cody and Caleb as PAUL WALKER | Furious 7 VFX by Weta Digital
