The model explosions were filmed on Sheppertons 30,000 square foot H stage, using a motion control camera, a special computerized film camera adapted to make repeatable and intricate moves which are particularly necessary when filming major visual effects sequences. The explosions, filmed in various passes, were so loud that they were audible outside of the studios.
