i directed the miniature shoot. this photo was taken just after the colosseum had succesfully fallen on take 2. |
 |
we shot a few hundred elements during the 3 weeks. there were several different scenes in which the fire elements would be used so we got plenty of variety. |

scott schneider mixes the "secret ingredients" to make our room temperature miniature lava flow |
 |
the lava on the 4' x 8' table getting prepped. the lava flowed down the table as we tilted it with both the speed of the flow and the feel of the surface texture on the surface under control. |
 |
a maquette of the beast was placed atop air cannons filled with lava material. when fired, it created a perfect lava splash element for our anti-hero. |
 |
1st A.C. AJ prepares the two cameras for the lava spray elements. each camera was run at a different frame rate and framing to get the most out of each firing. |
 |
the sphinx model was over 20 feet tall |
 |
the sphinx's left leg was pieced together out of hundreds of blocks to breakaway in front of the camera |
 |
it's face was built out of 6 major pieces held in place by some elaborate rigging. the front of the face and it's sides were triggered individually for the fall, only moments apart. |
 |
since it was my first opportunity to direct such an effort, i had to take this souvenir photo. |
