FRACTURED  |  In-Camera VFX

Real objects were fractured in artfully choreographed super slow motion moments, captured entirely in-camera. Cinematographer / VFX artist Christopher Webb worked with practical effects artist Makoto Aoki in this collaboration with photographer Chris Turner. Each subject was carefully pre-fractured and re-assembled on support rigging. The items were struck by pneumatic pistons which broke them apart and propelled the fragments outward without the need for pyrotechnics. This approach allowed the team to better control each destructive event and to avoid any smoke from an explosive charge.
