For episode one, ILP tackled Joel, Sarah and Tommys drive into town, ending with the dramatic plane crash. Along the way we did various work such as the burning farmhouse, CG fields and military blockade. The final shot required stitching of 6 plates, a combination of CG crowds and filmed elements of people running, breaking glass, and multiple airplanes, including the final crash which required a full FX sim and vast amounts of integration work.
The steakhouse in episode eight was a more contained challenge, developing and deploying realistic fire, smoke and embers to be integrated with smaller SFX fires on set. We started with a quick and easily changed fire “layout” that we used to lock down the timing and progression, and then moved into final shot work.
