MEN IN BLACK


The REST


Jones' supercharged LTD attempts to pass other cars while in a tunnel filled with traffic. The sequence is charged with kinetic action and is quite sharp. These shots' background plates are actually a miniature tunnel shots, featuring model vehicles, since it would have been nearly impossible to shoot these plates in a real tunnel. The 1/8th scale miniature tunnel was supervised by Steve Gawley and Chris Reed, and shot by Pat Sweeney with a motion-control camera.

A bright fireball emerges from the sky, and lands right on top of a pickup truck, causing it to burst in a beautiful impact of flame and debris. A clever combination of on-set physical rigging and CG particle effects make this shot a stunning success.
