This
sequence demonstrates how CGI and physical effects can be used together
to create a cost effective solution for many scenarios. The shot
required a set of airline seats to drop from the sky and hit a moving
land rover. To physically drop seats would have been impractical,
as they would not be travelling at terminal velocity on impact.
Instead MACDYNE rigged a Land Rover with a large nitrogen cannon
in the back of the vehicle. On cue it fired a large ram into the
ground, thrusting the back of the vehicle into the air, giving the
impression that an object had hit the front of the Jeep. In postproduction
MACDYNE modelled and animated a set of CGI seats to fall from the
sky and hit the car. Also a clean up process was required to paint
out any visible parts of the physical effect rig. |
