FURIOSA PRODUCTION
THE MOST SPECTACULAR ACTION SCENE took 78 days to shoot ”
Hardy animating realistic sequences. In this virtual environment, they imported precise measurements of lens angles, camera heights, locations, sun angles, vehicles, speeds and human dimensions to accurately plan the sequence. “We then knew how we were going to physically shoot with the equipment we planned to use. Most of the sequence was on a 4km road in outback town Hay with the War Rig, stunt cars and stunt performers tracking back and forth along that single piece of highway,” describes Duggan. “Peter McCaffrey and I broke
down the sequence with sun angles and continuity in mind. Main unit and second unit were often separated so George used an outdoor broadcast van with a satellite connection to approve takes as action sequences were filmed.” Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was an extraordinary production to be part of, concludes Duggan. “It had a great mix of visuals, from the stark look of the barren landscapes, the massive Citadel interiors to the intimate scenes involving Furiosa. We had a great crew who have worked together for many years as a team.”
