W1CKED Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 As my best friend put it...so eloquently: "Dude probably should have a testicular reduction, cause them things must be freaking huge."

BAC5.2 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'd be willing to bet...at the very least...the walls are styrofoam. I would assume so. But if they were, they were really solid. No wavering or buffeting when he went through.

ehsnils Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Definitely computer animated. The camera movement gives away that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Cool stuff. In the first one, there are skid marks on the ground where they rehearsed some of the turns, but not the turns through the walls. If you're going to rehearse the other stuff, wouldn't you rehearse the sliding through the walls too? Even if only to get the walls well positioned beforehand? So I'm guessing the walls were added after the filming. The choice of camera angles for the helipad thing is enough to convince me that it didn't really happen. (That, and the unthinkable horror of a car falling onto a sidewalk or street from that height if anything went wrong.) They show close-up, and they show from far away, but not from in-between where the car, pad, rooftop, and background would all need to be in frame and in detail. I liked the wall segment a lot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I would assume so. But if they were, they were really solid. No wavering or buffeting when he went through. As a production designer I assure you, we have more ways to fool you than you can think of. There is NO problem making a foam wall absolutely rigid and look like concrete. Weights in the bottom. Thin balsa stringers, etc. I can think of many ways off the top of my head. In fact, I even have a few vendors that specialize in foam building facia that would be able to fabricate anything I wanted (from a giant Mickey Mouse to a 15th century facade for an existing building location. As for the rooftop - sure, shoot the roof and the car seperate. Its much cheaper to recreate the roof of the building than to rent a heli to ferry the car up and down as well as clear and shut down the building and streets surrounding. I know, we've done stuff like that for real. Here is one example...
