CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Harry (Pierce Brosnan) drives flat out as the volcano finally blows it's top and the pyroclastic cloud chases them into a mine shaft.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Old Smokey develops a bad temper in this volcanic disaster spectacle. Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan) is a volcano expert whose interest became more than academic after he lost the woman he loved in a volcanic emergency. When he is sent to investigate unusual seismic activity in the quiet Pacific Northwest community of Dante's Peak, he discovers people boiled to death in the local hot spring and plant and animal life dying or displaying unusual illnesses near the city's supposedly dormant volcano. Harry becomes convinced that a major volcanic catastrophe is in the cards. Rachel Wando (Linda Hamilton), the town's mayor, is a single mother who also runs the local cafe, and now that Dante's Peak has been named one of the most desirable small towns in America, tourists have been flocking to the diner and other local businesses. While concerned with the safety of her community, Rachel takes a cynical view of Harry's warnings about the volcano; she has no desire to alarm either the town's residents or the wealthy visitors lining the city's pockets. Nevertheless, Harry tries to convince Rachel of the potential danger, as they begin to develop feelings for each other that are not strictly professional. The summer of 1997 was a big season for killer volcanoes at the movies, as Dante's Peak and Volcano opened within a few months of each other.

I worked as a 2-D Rotoscope artist on this movie. I remember from dailies hearing that some of the CG pyroclastic cloud tests took up to 40 hours a frame to render. The CG team worked very hard on this movie, even coming in to work at 4AM to get render time. This VFX work was done at Digital Domain and for a long time afterwards the steel bridge model was kept in the parking lot.

Your team did a great job. This film for me features the most consisently great effects of the last thirty years, I honesty can't see an effect that looks flawed in this movie, and it mirrors real volcanic activity so well. I'd place Starship Troopers, the star-forge sequence of Tree of Life and Master & Commander pretty high as special effects that have genuinely floored me in the cinema, but Dante's Peak really shows as a labour of love and a tremendous achievement. Be proud!

Having studied volcanology, I have to say that this is probably the most realistic part of the film. Pyroclastic flows are massive, unstoppable forces that can obliterate anything, be it town or forest. They are also incredibly fast depending on the force that produced them. The 'hiding in the mine' is also proven to work IRL against flows.
@patrickcross1571 2 жыл бұрын
Wait, really? I'd thought, looking back at Herculaneum as an example, that the thermal shock from the heat of the flow would kill you at that close a range even if the flow didn't directly hit you.

When JP was made, some major scenes required massive server farms running 24x7 for weeks to properly render what made it to the final, and it's stunning. It's a benchmark.

It's... debatably possible. A volcano blowing its entire surrounding mountain to kingdom come isn't unheard of. Krakatoa basically vanished into the sea after the 1883 eruption, and of course Mt St Helens is effectively half-gone since its eruption (a cubic MILE of earth torn away, JFC O_O ).

I read an article today explaining how they achieved this sequence - the filmmakers attempted to use CGI for the pyroclastic flow but it didn’t look right, so they took air cannons and several tons of ground up clay and they blasted it into the air (using the natural blue of the sky as a blue screen) while filming at a high frame rate. The town and exploding buildings were miniatures about 4 feet tall rigged with explosives and filmed at a high rate as well. The only role that computers played in achieving these shots was when they composited all the different fragments of film together to create the illusion of a pyroclastic flow. Everything apart from the literal seams that bring every element together is 100% real practical effects that had to be crafted by hand. The special effects specialist that was interviewed for the article said their only problem with the finished version is that the images of the cloud flowing over the hills and descending on the town weren’t exactly perfect because they were behind schedule and had to go with what they had - and even then it’s still incredibly impressive. Practical effects>>>CGI effects.
@jmwoods190 Жыл бұрын
Agree with all you said, though one minor discrepancy with the sky color: While it was smart for to use the sky as the blue screen, a grey, cloudy sky would've made it even more accurate since the ash cloud of the previous explosion would've completely blocked out the blue sky by the time the lateral pyroclastic cloud blew out, especially when you're that close to the volcano. Apart from that the practical effects for this film has been near-flawless!

@elr456 6 жыл бұрын
I love this movie so much. Pretty accurate as well. The volcano is somewhere in Cascadia, the faithful looking pyroclastic cloud, the hot springs becoming more active, and the volcano James Bond jumps in IS ACTUALLY MOUNT SAINT HELENS. I don’t think we’ll ever get such a good volcano movie ever again.

Between the music and up close camera work, was I the only one who noticed the tension build in this scene alone? When it comes to media, I seem to ' catch' alot of subtle details many viewers just overlook. I can't help it, but it's both a gift and a curse in my case. But I still wonder, was I the only one who noticed the said details?

Let's see... can you outrun a tiger? NO. But if the tiger is 100 meters away when it starts chasing you, can you get crawl/jump/get into safety before it gets you? YES! Well, same here.

It fits, because from 00:23 until after he tells the kids to not look back, it almost took a minute for the cloud to reach the town. I like how the filmmakers unintentionally made that sequence last almost a minute. Props to Roger Donaldson for trying to add as much realism as possible.

Imagine Mount Rainier erupt in a similar matter to this volcano.
@tarantulaguy1998 8 жыл бұрын
Rainier is currently listed as a 'Decade Volcano', volcanoes around the world that are most likely to cause significant damage to life and infrastructure if they erupt, because of their proximity to population centres. However, whilst Rainier is very much capable of producing explosive eruptions and pyroclastic clouds, the biggest danger would be lahars (essentially a volcanic mudflow), caused by the melting of ice during an eruption. Rainier's summit is covered by a glacier, meaning that during a future eruption, the heat will cause the ice to melt, and at high speed, pick up mud, trees and debris along the way. Many communities surrounding Rainier are situated on ancient lahar deposits, meaning these areas, and tens of thousands of people are right in harm's way. Such an event could make it overtake Mt St Helens as the deadliest and costliest volcanic disaster in the United States. There's a few documentaries on YT about such an event, search for 'Rainier is a Ticking Time Bomb'.
@rainer250 8 жыл бұрын
Jackeroose98 Also given the fact that Rainier is the tallest volcano in the Cascade Range at 14,410 feet high, the lahars and pyroclastic flows would be moving at high-speed. The damage it would bring would dwarf that of Mount St. Helens during its major eruption on May 18, 1980. It's likely that at one point, Mount Rainier stood higher at 16,000 feet before a massive debris avalanche and the Osceola Mudflow 5,000 years ago reduce the mountain to its current height.
