For
this
movie
director
Maurizio
Ponzi
wanted
a
shot
with
a
collapsed
building
caused by a structural failure.
Set
Designer
Nino
Formica
decided
for
a
fire
department
building
usually
used
for
firefighters
training
and
added
real
debris,
dropped
pieces
from
the
facade
and damaged cars all around.
During
post
production
the
block
has
been
extended
by
adding
more
bulding
levels and details inside collapsed apartments.
Besides
a
digital
matte
painting
has
been
added
around
the
block
to
place
it
in
the middle of a city, since the real set is located in a very isolated area.
For
these
shots
Gianluca
Dentici
created
the
3D
model
of
the
collapsed
bulding and supervised all shootings.
