The British auteur's new movie, Oppenheimer, includes a practical effects re-enactment of the world's first nuclear weapon test.
spoke with longtime Nolan collaborator Scott R. Fisher about the challenge and logistics of recreating such a massive explosion. The new interview provided surprising new insights into the process by which Fisher and Nolan brought the Trinity test to the silver screen.One factor, for example, was the use of camera trickery in the form of "big-ature" explosion shots, Fisher explained.
"It is like an old-school technique," Fisher said. "We don't call them miniatures; we call them big-atures. We do them as big as we possibly can, but we do reduce the scale so it's manageable. It's getting it closer to camera, and doing it as big as you can in the environment."Fisher also detailed the materials the Oppenheimer film crew gathered to produce the explosion, which was filmed at Los Alamos, New Mexico.
"It's mostly gasoline, propane, any of that kind of stuff, because you get so much bang for your buck," Fisher explained. "But then we also bring in stuff like aluminum powder and magnesium to really enhance the brightness, and give it a certain look." "We did a bit of that on this, because we really wanted everyone to talk about that flash, that brightness. So we tried to replicate that as much as we could," he continued.had a TNT yield of roughly 25 kilotons. To put the Oppenheimer film crew's ambitious task into perspective, that explosion created a 600-foot-wide fireball that shattered windows 120 miles away, decimated trees, and turned sand into chunks of glass.
