What's that?
Something's happening in there.
Kaplan, you've got to hurry!
You've got to help them!
What happens is the laser turns into a grid and passes through his body, just dicing him effectively.
So we started with the actor in a position that we liked for the dicing.
Then what we did was we built a full-scale model of him.
A full-scale model of him.
This is where his face will fall apart in the foreground.
You can see the background's a little out of focus, but the idea is that now this will go out of focus and the focus will go back to the background action.
The idea with the head is that we have a foreground shot, so if you were the camera looking at me and I was in the foreground, in the background over my right shoulder, over the actor's right shoulder, you'll see my face like this and you'll see a piece of it fall off.
One, two, three.
And then we had that full-scale model cubed and fall apart.
And you see that happen, but rather than see it happen in miniature or see it happen digital, you see it effectively happen for real.
You can see all the green poles going in.
Inside those sleeves are other sleeves.
They're connected in the back end so that we can pull out different parts.
The men can pull out different parts of the body so they can fall and we can film it all.
But this will be in the background, his back part, as a reflection.
So even though we're looking at his face, in the background we'll see this reflection on the wall, so we have to shoot his backside.
I mean, they're going to cut me up. They're going to slice me.
Pull me onto the floor in a bag.
A little bag. I'm surprised.
Shit!
Down! Get down!
You do the shot?
Yes.
And he does this bit?
Yeah.
At the end of the shot, just say, lower your hand.
And then we'll have...
A clean blaze on him without his hand.
Without having my name on it.
Okay, well, we'll just do the action for you while he keeps his hand down.
Yeah, all right. Excellent.
When we're done, we're going to peel off pieces from here.
You'll do the move again, just to get empty sets.
First, we'll peel off the metal.
First, we'll peel off the metal.
Then we'll move a bag.
But can we just see the end position first?
Yeah, see the end position.
Take conscious.
We're going into shot.
Straight away!
Well, I get my head cut off.
Which was...
Which was really upsetting.
Obviously, I had to have a cast made of my head.
But when I saw it, it was really...
It was really upsetting to see yourself dead.
But, you know, perfectly...
...replicated.
This is the first time I see the labour cut a slice of her throat.
It's the first shot.
We'll be adding blood to this area.
All right.
You're good at boring.
Thank you.
You're good at boring.
You're not.
Everybody, you need to be nice and step back.
Back camera. We're doing that.
All right.
So we're going to take this head off the body, pull it off the blue screen.
And there he goes.
Shit.
Got it.
Let's do it!
Almost there.
Come on!
Shit.
Got it.
