00:30We all read and thought, how on earth we're going to achieve that.

00:40The sky pool is suspended 16 stories above the ground,

00:43made of three panels with air gaps to improve the strength.

00:47You may have seen a pool explode, but not the inner workings.

00:51Okay, you're going to have to clue me in.

00:54Integrity. It's all about integrity.

00:56If I have the math right, I should move.

01:00There's an understanding of the mechanics behind it

01:03that make it all the more impressive.

01:09It was a scene that took a lot of imagining.

01:12I mean, the first thing was the location.

01:13In the film, it was supposed to be in Madrid.

01:15But we found a pool in London, in fact, which is roughly as described.

01:24I saw very early on in the research process the Embassy Gardens Pool,

01:29which is extraordinary.

01:31It's this bridge, this glass bridge between two buildings,

01:35which is a swimming pool.

01:37I actually thought straight away, we have to shoot here.

01:41We all thought that, because it is spectacular.

01:45It's an extraordinary glass pool that straddles two 16-story buildings.

01:50The time spent planning it was, to some extent, the biggest challenge,

02:00because we had to make sure that we had, first of all,

02:02the vision for what the shots should look like,

02:04and then the methodology for how we could possibly achieve it.

02:08You held a gun to my wife's head.

02:10So we knew we could shoot the first part of the scene on location,

02:13but the hotel was not going to let us explode that pool.

02:18So we then built a pretty big section of the pool in the studio.

02:25So this is our Sky Pool set, the special effects version.

02:29It's basically the same width as the real Sky Pool in the hotel,

02:32and just under half, about a third of the length of the pool.

02:35We've got 66,000 litres of water, which is 66 tonnes.

02:40So you can see the size of the rig that's needed

02:41and the size of the steel that we need to build it.

02:44We had thousands of litres of water

02:48to an extraordinary weight at about 20 feet height.

02:52So we could drop sections into a tank

02:54as if there's been a crack in the pool,

02:57sucking the poor swimmer down.

02:59This is a remote that controls a device

03:00that's been decompressing the air

03:02between the sheets of glass beneath you.

03:04If I trigger it, the glass will shatter.

03:07So tell me where he is, or swim very fast.

03:10The glass gets decompressed, which creates cracking effects,

03:13which is visual effects that are going to do the cracks.

03:19So we've built a section in glass, crack glass at the front.

03:22So on a cue, we're going to blow the glass with Pile Technics,

03:25and then the bottom falls out of the pool.

03:27The bottom falls out of the pool.

03:30OK, here we go.

03:31Set and action.

03:38We have a system that collapses the trapdoors underneath,

03:41and we pull them on a cue,

03:42and that drops the trapdoor, which is all made of glass.

03:44So we've had to arrest the trapdoor,

03:46so to control the descent.

03:48So we have to make it freefall and then catch it again,

03:51which we're using hydraulics for.

03:53And that stops us smashing all the glass each take for the floor,

03:56because we have a glass floor that they can light through.

03:58So the real challenge is how we can drop 66 tonnes of water

04:01on a glass trapdoor and keep resetting it for take two and three.

04:05So without, you know, that's been quite a challenge.

04:08So we had five cameras running on it,

04:12because there's only so many times you can reset it.

04:15It was a five-hour reset every time.

04:17And also, you've got stuntmen

04:19who you have to think about first and foremost,

04:21because there is some risk involved in what you're doing,

04:24because we had to pull him free

04:26just before the full drop became properly dangerous.

04:29So it's all down to the planning.

04:31OK, here we go, guys.

04:33Hold the camera.

04:34OK.

04:35Hold it.

04:36Yeah, real quick.

04:37Ready.

04:38Set.

04:39And action.

04:50Coming.

04:53Once you break a sequence like that down,

04:56it becomes a lot less daunting,

04:58because you're just getting that shot or that part of the shot.

05:01And there was more to do in that one,

05:03because we needed to film the impacts of the falling pool and water.

05:07So then we built bits of the location again in the studio,

05:11and then put what are called tip tanks right up in the ceiling of the studio

05:15and chucked huge amounts of water and debris down to film the impact

05:19as it hit the floor, hit the furniture, hit the restaurant window.

05:23This is such a challenge because there's so many elements involved,

05:27and obviously the water just makes everything more difficult.

05:29This has been a great collaboration,

05:31how we're combining the real sky pool in the hotel

05:34with the physical effects and the visual effects department.

05:37It's been a really good team effort to create a great effect for the movie.

05:40So it is a jigsaw, but that's the thrill for a director

05:43then eventually seeing that come together.

05:45I don't think it was the only two of them is the only one of those units.

05:46Yeah.

05:47I'm so excited for any help of this stuff,

05:48because you didn't have to do that quite well.

05:49I'm so excited.

05:50You're gonna scream.

05:51I'm so excited.

05:52I'm so excited.

05:53I'm so excited for that.

05:54I'm so excited to see you as we have today.

05:55And I'm excited to see you next time.

05:56Just have a few seconds.

05:57And see you.

05:58I'm excited to see you.

05:59I've been waiting for it.

06:00I've been waiting for it.

06:01Gracias por ver el video.
