We all read and thought, how on earth we're going to achieve that.
00:40
The sky pool is suspended 16 stories above the ground,
00:43
made of three panels with air gaps to improve the strength.
00:47
You may have seen a pool explode, but not the inner workings.
00:51
Okay, you're going to have to clue me in.
00:54
Integrity. It's all about integrity.
00:56
If I have the math right, I should move.
01:00
There's an understanding of the mechanics behind it
01:03
that make it all the more impressive.
01:09
It was a scene that took a lot of imagining.
01:12
I mean, the first thing was the location.
01:13
In the film, it was supposed to be in Madrid.
01:15
But we found a pool in London, in fact, which is roughly as described.
01:24
I saw very early on in the research process the Embassy Gardens Pool,
01:29
which is extraordinary.
01:31
It's this bridge, this glass bridge between two buildings,
01:35
which is a swimming pool.
01:37
I actually thought straight away, we have to shoot here.
01:41
We all thought that, because it is spectacular.
01:45
It's an extraordinary glass pool that straddles two 16-story buildings.
01:50
The time spent planning it was, to some extent, the biggest challenge,
02:00
because we had to make sure that we had, first of all,
02:02
the vision for what the shots should look like,
02:04
and then the methodology for how we could possibly achieve it.
02:08
You held a gun to my wife's head.
02:10
So we knew we could shoot the first part of the scene on location,
02:13
but the hotel was not going to let us explode that pool.
02:18
So we then built a pretty big section of the pool in the studio.
02:25
So this is our Sky Pool set, the special effects version.
02:29
It's basically the same width as the real Sky Pool in the hotel,
02:32
and just under half, about a third of the length of the pool.
02:35
We've got 66,000 litres of water, which is 66 tonnes.
02:40
So you can see the size of the rig that's needed
02:41
and the size of the steel that we need to build it.
02:44
We had thousands of litres of water
02:48
to an extraordinary weight at about 20 feet height.
02:52
So we could drop sections into a tank
02:54
as if there's been a crack in the pool,
02:57
sucking the poor swimmer down.
02:59
This is a remote that controls a device
03:00
that's been decompressing the air
03:02
between the sheets of glass beneath you.
03:04
If I trigger it, the glass will shatter.
03:07
So tell me where he is, or swim very fast.
03:10
The glass gets decompressed, which creates cracking effects,
03:13
which is visual effects that are going to do the cracks.
03:19
So we've built a section in glass, crack glass at the front.
03:22
So on a cue, we're going to blow the glass with Pile Technics,
03:25
and then the bottom falls out of the pool.
03:27
The bottom falls out of the pool.
03:30
OK, here we go.
03:31
Set and action.
03:38
We have a system that collapses the trapdoors underneath,
03:41
and we pull them on a cue,
03:42
and that drops the trapdoor, which is all made of glass.
03:44
So we've had to arrest the trapdoor,
03:46
so to control the descent.
03:48
So we have to make it freefall and then catch it again,
03:51
which we're using hydraulics for.
03:53
And that stops us smashing all the glass each take for the floor,
03:56
because we have a glass floor that they can light through.
03:58
So the real challenge is how we can drop 66 tonnes of water
04:01
on a glass trapdoor and keep resetting it for take two and three.
04:05
So without, you know, that's been quite a challenge.
04:08
So we had five cameras running on it,
04:12
because there's only so many times you can reset it.
04:15
It was a five-hour reset every time.
04:17
And also, you've got stuntmen
04:19
who you have to think about first and foremost,
04:21
because there is some risk involved in what you're doing,
04:24
because we had to pull him free
04:26
just before the full drop became properly dangerous.
04:29
So it's all down to the planning.
04:31
OK, here we go, guys.
04:33
Hold the camera.
04:34
OK.
04:35
Hold it.
04:36
Yeah, real quick.
04:37
Ready.
04:38
Set.
04:39
And action.
04:50
Coming.
04:53
Once you break a sequence like that down,
04:56
it becomes a lot less daunting,
04:58
because you're just getting that shot or that part of the shot.
05:01
And there was more to do in that one,
05:03
because we needed to film the impacts of the falling pool and water.
05:07
So then we built bits of the location again in the studio,
05:11
and then put what are called tip tanks right up in the ceiling of the studio
05:15
and chucked huge amounts of water and debris down to film the impact
05:19
as it hit the floor, hit the furniture, hit the restaurant window.
05:23
This is such a challenge because there's so many elements involved,
05:27
and obviously the water just makes everything more difficult.
05:29
This has been a great collaboration,
05:31
how we're combining the real sky pool in the hotel
05:34
with the physical effects and the visual effects department.
05:37
It's been a really good team effort to create a great effect for the movie.
05:40
So it is a jigsaw, but that's the thrill for a director
05:43
then eventually seeing that come together.
05:45
I don't think it was the only two of them is the only one of those units.
05:46
Yeah.
05:47
I'm so excited for any help of this stuff,
05:48
because you didn't have to do that quite well.
05:49
I'm so excited.
05:50
You're gonna scream.
05:51
I'm so excited.
05:52
I'm so excited.
05:53
I'm so excited for that.
05:54
I'm so excited to see you as we have today.
05:55
And I'm excited to see you next time.
05:56
Just have a few seconds.
05:57
And see you.
05:58
I'm excited to see you.
05:59
I've been waiting for it.
06:00
I've been waiting for it.
06:01
Gracias por ver el video.
