EXPLOSIVE REZVANI

A FUTURISTIC REZVANI GETS BLOWN UP IN ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT SEQUENCES FOR DNEG…

“We had plate photography of the location, the Rezvani driving through the location and of a Jeep outfitted with the same wheels, tyres and wheelbase that the Rezvani had, and blown up in front of the camera at a different location,” states DNEG VFX supervisor Jeremy Fernsler. “All of the camera moves and angles were slightly different. Trying to maintain the mandate to hold onto everything they shot as much as possible proved to be difficult. There was a lot of nudging the plate photography into places using numerous projections, some retiming and in the end, we did extensive augmentation. We ran fire simulations which gave us a lot of elements to help us blend everything together. Once our effects artists had matched the fire that was shot, it could be placed where needed. A lot of the CG fire is on top of the fire that was there and drops in.”
