Ever since the announcement of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan has made it clear that he has zero interest in using CGI for the biopic, instead using practical effects for everything. With that in mind, Oppenheimer will have absolutely no CGI.
The director is known for his penchant for realism and complex stories, but for his latest film, The Dark Knight creator has insisted on keeping things as real as possible. Speaking with Collider, Nolan said that his latest film not only has a focus on practicality, but it contains “zero” CGI shots.
However, this is nothing new as Nolan has preferred to rely as little as he can on VFX on almost all his ventures be it The Dark Knight trilogy, Interstellar or Tenet.
Instead Nolan has always preferred using things such as camera work, real small-scale explosions and miniature sets to avoid having his work feel wholly unrealistic, employing VFX only when necessary and that too for enhancing the visual aesthetic of certain scenes.
But recreating a nuclear explosion, its immense radiation, the intricacies of the explosion along with other aspects such as the aesthetics of a black hole is no mean feat, but Nolan and his team managed to pull it off without any CGI. (IANS)
