One shot in particular from the truck chase became known as the taxi flip, and featured the MRAP bursting through an off-ramp and landing on the back of a taxi cab, causing it to flip onto the ceiling of an underpass. Having created the previs for that sequence, Screen Scene visual effects supervisor Ed Bruce and VFX coordinator Nick Murphy sought to go beyond the usual deliveries by shooting actual elements. “After finding a location on the A55 near Colwyn Bay, North Wales, we headed over to shoot some plates on a couple of Canon 5Ds,” says Bruce. “Once back in Dublin we cut three shots together and began the process of adding the CG MRAP, taxi, additional cars, FX destruction and Moscow backdrop. We used 3ds Max and V-Ray, Thinking Particles, Krakatoa, and Fume to create our CG which was all composted within Nuke after being tracked with SynthEyes.”
