Following the actual planting of 3,000 acres of cornfields in "Interstellar ", Nolan bought a scrapped real Boeing 747 airplane this time to shoot the explosion in his new work Tenet. How do you view Nolan's dedication to live-action shooting? To be honest, Christopher Nolan might be the director that most interested in live-action shooting.
Here is an inventory of "precious" items that Nolan actually shot in his film career:
1. 500 acres corn field- Interstellar
500 acres of cornfield in Interstellar
Nolan planted 500 acres of corn with the crew to present the world view in the film. although this scene is in the movie, but aerial photography appeared for a few seconds. The rest of the characters in the cornfield can be replaced by a few acres of cornfield. Therefore, when Nolan rented land to grow 500 acres of corn, some people once ridiculed Nolan that this was to switch to a farm. But in the end, after the filming was completed, the corn on the ground was not wasted, and after the sale, it also made a fortune.
In addition to the shooting of the corn field, Nolan did not dare to neglect in the cosmic scene, and directly hired a Harvard astrophysicist as a film consultant. The black hole in the picture below is made by special effects according to the recommendations of physicists. It is almost the same as the black hole announced by NASA in terms of appearance details.

2. Explosion on the street in Paris
As a masterpiece of Nolan "Inception", many of the scenes are real shots, such as the scene of a series of buildings in a street bursting in the street. This scene looks very textured and gives a feeling of weightlessness in a dream. For this scene, a blasting expert was specially invited to control the position and equivalent of the explosive.
3. Reverse gravity porch
Nolan has set up a spectacular setting here, including a hotel corridor that can be rotated 360 degrees in all directions. The entire corridor can be rotated 360 degrees vertically like a barbecue grill. The camera looks towards the bottom of the corridor and advances unaffectedly (with the help of Technocrane carry out).
4. Hospital Explosion
In many blasting scenes in "The Dark Knight", Nolan decided to complete a real "terrorist attack". That is to blow up a hospital.
Only for the 30-second screen in the film, the crew made three weeks of preparations, and then worked out a plan for the "clown" Heath Ledger to come out of the upcoming hospital.
There is a rumor that Heath Ledger made an impromptu performance desperately pressing the button because the explosion stopped unexpectedly.
In fact, there was no accident with the explosion. The crew did arrange two blasts. The first is for the rhythm of the whole play. Nolan originally intended to let the clown look back. The second is to ensure that Heath Ledger walked out of the danger zone and then carried out a full blast.
5. Hijacking
The opening scene of "Dark Knight" is very exciting. Nolan decided to surpass the sequel "The Dark Knight Rises" .
Therefore, by using the method of flying an airplane, several aerobatic personnel really completed the movement of entering the hatch from outside the aircraft in the air.
6. Explode a stadium
The difficulty of shooting concerts and large-scale sports events is how to invite the audience.
"The Dark Knight Rises" has collaborated with a company to attract more than 10,000 people to the gymnasium, which has reduced the troubles for later special effects. Then, Nolan embarked on a blasting operation.
The crew first covered the original lawn with a new layer of grass, and then dug a hole to let the athlete jump down. One of the athletes ran all the way with the ball, and the explosions behind were all real scenes. The dangerous pits must be completed with special effects.
