For
this
film
the
director
Maurizio
Ponzi
pictured
a
shot
with
a
collapsed
building caused by a structural failure.
Set
Designer
Nino
Formica
went
for
a
fire
department
building
usually
used
for
firefighters
training
and
added
real
debris,
dropped
pieces
from
the
facade
and damaged cars all around it.
Throughout
the
VFX
process
the
block
has
been
extended
by
adding
more
levels
and
further details of the collapsed parts.
Besides,
a
digital
matte
painting
has
been
added
around
the
block
to
stage
it
in
the
middle
of
a
city.
That
was
essential
because
the
real
set
was
located
in
a
very
isolated
area.
For
these
shots
Gianluca
Dentici
created
the
3D
model
of
the
collapsed
bulding
and
supervised all shootings.
