FURIOSA BEHIND THE SCENES

Making a follow-up to Mad Max: Fury Road, one of the most celebrated action movies of the century, is not an enviable task. Luckily, George Miller isn't a director who's afraid to take risks. With Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Miller expanded the world and palette of Mad Max while honoring its predecessor's breath-taking action sequences. In this video, we take a look at how Miller upped his game for the action in Furiosa.

MAD MAX FURIOSA PREPRODUCTION

The action sequences in Furiosa required extensive prep work, rooted in both creative vision and technical precision. The pre-production phase involved detailed pre-visualization, where each sequence was mapped out using the Unreal Engine. This process replaced the analogue approach taken in Fury Road. It allowed director George Miller and the stunt coordinators to choreograph every movement down to the second, ensuring that the high-speed chases and combat scenes could be executed safely and efficiently.

The film was primarily shot on the ARRI Alexa 65 camera, chosen for its large-format sensor. These cameras were often paired with ARRI DNA Prime lenses. For capturing high-speed sequences, the production utilized the Edge Arm, a crane system mounted on pursuit vehicles, which allowed the camera to remain stable and nimble even at high speeds. Drones equipped with RED Komodo and V-Raptor cameras were used for aerial shots, providing dynamic, bird's-eye views of the action. These smaller cameras could also be mounted to vehicles for up-close footage.

THE MAKING OF FURIOSA VFX

While, like Fury Road, the film heavily emphasized practical effects, visual effects were crucial in realizing certain elements of Furiosa’s action sequences. The VFX team created digital extensions of the practical sets, expanded the post-apocalyptic landscapes, and enhanced the scale of the action. Compositing techniques were employed to merge practical stunts with CGI elements, ensuring that every frame felt grounded and realistic. The post-production phase involved meticulous work in color grading and visual continuity, ensuring that the practical and digital elements blended seamlessly into the final film, delivering a cohesive visual experience.

With Furiosa, George Miller did what many thought might be impossible: live up to the hype of Fury Road.
