We RECREATED the Nuclear Explosion from Oppenheimer with ZERO CGI

We recreated Christopher Nolan's nuclear explosion from Oppenheimer with zero CGI, along with a few other effects from Oppenheimer. With Oppenheimer's budget of $100 million, we had no clue if this was even possible. Through lots of experimentation and testing, it was surprising just how close we were able to recreate the practical effects from Oppenheimer without any VFX of our own. I still can't believe what we were able to do.
A thank you to the people who helped make this possible:
Paul Koning
Anna Peerbolt
Matt Baker
Allie Salyer
Selena Norihn
Victor Vigil III (VVIII)
Kaleb Bosworth
M.H. Sterling

@dwerg1 3 месяца назад

My first thought before even watching that part was fine mica powder in plain water, that's the simplest and most common way to make that effect. I wouldn't be surprised if that's specifically what they used in Oppenheimer. It's called a rheoscopic fluid. Any particles with similar properties will work, like the pigment powder he ended up using.

I think it's kind of cool that for Effect 3, the materials used were just water and pigment powder; cheap and easy to obtain materials. It's cool how Nolan came up with such simple yet powerful ideas, despite his million dollar budget.

@@WV-HillBillyIt wouldn’t be Nolan’s job to experiment and come up with how to do the VFX and then just pass the cheat sheet to the effects team for them to just execute it. He then would effectively be doing their job for them. The VFX team’s job is to figure out and execute the director’s vision. Take a look at the credits for the movie, it’s Andrew Jackson and Scott Fisher. Nolan doesn’t have a credit in the VFX department. That’s not how it works. It’s incredibly rare that a director is involved hands on in the development of VFX.

Hey for effect 1, if you want to generate a constant swirling motion in the fluid you can use a magnetic stirrer used in chemistry lab. The device looks like a kitchen scale, coupled with a cylindrical pill-shaped magnet stirrer. Its low profile and you can create a more consistent swirling motion in that larger tank. Just an idea for future effects.

It's not often that you watch a video that you think is revolutionary. As someone who loves the art and creativity that goes behind the lens, I'm so grateful that there are still people out there who respect cinema for what it is. You're an absolute mad lad. Keep on keeping on!

For the third effect, I think they actually used rheoscopic fluid. For those who don’t know it’s basically ridiculously small glitter particles there are then put in water and stuff. It was created to study fluid motion

I just want to say this was fantastic, not only the fact that you are able to recreate the effects on such a small budget. But your storytelling and the cinematography of this what is essentially a mini documentary is absolutely fantastic.I most definitely going to share this with everyone I know and you earned a viewer from this

@spencerleava2502 9 месяцев назад

In terms of the liquid shots, you may want to try mica powder. I use dyed mica powders to make themed "potion" shots for D&D, its sold under the name "brew glitter". To me, it seems like a good candidate, you can buy it with different effects, some make wavy bands, some are opalescent, some are sparkly, some are dark. Just keep in mind it works best in an alcohol solution. I am pretty sure you would get a range of effects with a single solution based on how long you wait after you stir it as well.

@LS-sx5qo 9 месяцев назад

This is an absolutely amazing recreation of these effects. I hope you get the recognition you deserve.

As an aspiring filmmaker, this was really eye opening. I loved Oppenheimer, ive already watched it 4 times (twice in IMAX) and Ive tried to study how everything was shot and composed. But this video was very inspirational, hats off the you lot! 🙏😊

@mahwahazet4133 9 месяцев назад

… question is, did you understand that Hiroshima and Nagasaki was carpetbombed with napalm (all steel concrete structures were untouched, and somepeople jumped into a river) and that there was a “holy weird” production magik back then just like this new movie release? THERE WERE NO NUKES, NEVER COULD BE NUKES, AND NEVER WILL BE NUKES. Duck & Cover because you’ve just been bitch-slapped by INDUSTRIAL LIGHT AND MAGICKS. The beautiful thing about this is that just like the military men who were told to keep their backs to the supposed detonation of an atmospheric nuke - THEY NEVER SAW WHETHER IT WAS ANYTHING BUT ‘HIGH’ X-PLOW SEIVES or what was advertised. But as the expose video shows, they’ll be telling everyone they know: I WAS THERE!

If you are really an inspiring filmmaker you should understand that these are all basic effects. They are how star trek transporters work and every concert from the 1960s was done.

@BrownHuman 9 месяцев назад

GAH DAMN that was absolutely amazing u guys. Such a well made and executed recreation. Feel like they might've used a balloon for the nuke bubble shot. That way you could show the organic expansion of the nuke sphere in all sides!

@WilliamHBaker 9 месяцев назад

Actually, I think they did! Hoyte Van Hoytema talks about it in one of the articles. It came out after we started the project, and I hadn't considered a balloon before that. It probably would've been a little more challenging but would've given that expansion for sure!

I legitimately got kinda emotional watching this. This is the magic of filmmaking in every way. Trial and error, venturing into what’s never been done before, seeing objects and effects in new ways, I would give this video an award if I could. I felt transported back to those early 2010’s RU-vid tutorials showing how to make a movie prop or effect, but this was just stunning. Cant wait to see what y’all do next.
