The teams of RISE delivered the visual effects for several major action scenes in Man on Fire, including a massive residential building explosion, an intense airport tarmac sequence, and a dramatic escape aboard a private jet.
The visual effects work focused on enhancing the scale and realism of the film’s action sequences. One of the standout moments features the destruction of a residential building through a large-scale explosion designed to integrate seamlessly with the live-action photography.
RISE also crafted visual effects for an extensive action sequence set on an airport tarmac before continuing into a high-speed escape involving a private jet. The work combined environment extensions, destruction effects, and action enhancements to support the film’s grounded and intense atmosphere.
