BTS highlights from ‘VROOM’ shot on our 8K LED volume with environments build by our VAD team. This was one of the most fun shoots we’ve had in the studio by far! The film utilized custom 1:16 miniature sets & stunt drivers to achieve all of their stunts and effects practically in camera without CGI. 🚘💥 We even utilized both our Bolt X and Bolt Jr+ at the same time! The film was shot entirely on an Apple iPhone Pro 16 one week before its release.

@davidwma reimagines this iconic stunt from The Dark Night combining miniatures and virtual production 🎬 Christopher Nolan’s team used a hydraulic ram triggered by an explosion to catapult the semi truck. My team rigged a mousetrap to the bottom of an RC car to achieve the catapult in our scene.
