In-depth on the all the key explosive visual effects in Netflix's 'Man on Fire'

Listen to the brand new podcast on the series.

Today on the befores & afters podcast, we’re talking about the new Netflix series, Man on Fire, with visual effects supervisor Kevin Lingenfelser. Now, if you haven’t watched the show, we’ve got a few spoilers coming, so I definitely recommend you check it out first.

In our chat, Kevin and I go into a lot of fun detail on the residential tower destruction, including the pivot he and his team had to make on that. We also discuss the lear jet sequence, and how they made the jet land on a roadway instead of a runway. Then there’s a whole bunch of other invisible effects we break down, including blood and gore shots, and that signature ‘man on fire’ moment with the main character, John Creasy.

Listen in above, and below, a series of breakdown images from the tower explosion, runway, and man on fire sequences.
