DESCRIPTION: We’re back with David Vickery, visual effects supervisor for “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.” This week we discuss everything that went into the A400 sequence, the “biscuit rig” for the motorcycle chase, and the parachute rig at the end of the cold open. Also we get stories about Christopher Nolan, Alfonso Cuaron, and “Jurassic World: Dominion!” Plus we get his movie rankings and his thoughts on why he loves Tom’s “Top Gun” haircut. Released May 20th, 2022.

SHOW NOTES: As discussed in the interview, this John Williams cue from “Raiders of the Lost Ark” was the temp music for the end of “Rogue Nation” when they trap Solomon Lane in the box...

We also discuss the use of CGI background cars to augment the motorcycle chase in Morocco...

And we talk about filming the parachute deploying in the opening sequence...

And here’s the scene in “Children of Men” that David brings up (where Clive Owen and Julianne Moore catch the ping pong ball in their mouths). You can find where to watch the full movie by clicking here...

And just because we had to share it again, here’s a screenshot from our Zoom so you can see David’s glorious Henry Cavill-like mustache...
