We RECREATED the Nuclear Explosion from Oppenheimer with ZERO CGI

We recreated Christopher Nolan’s nuclear explosion from Oppenheimer with zero CGI, along with a few other effects from Oppenheimer. With Oppenheimer’s budget of $100 million, we had no clue if this was even possible. Through lots of experimentation and testing, it was surprising just how close we were able to recreate the practical effects from Oppenheimer without any VFX of our own. I still can’t believe what we were able to do. A thank you to the people who helped make this possible: Paul Koning Anna Peerbolt Matt Baker Allie Salyer Selena Norihn Victor Vigil III (VVIII) Kaleb Bosworth M.H.
