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.
