Everyone knowsthe magic of George Milleris his practical effects . The Max Max movie maker loves todo real stunt and bewitch them in - camera , and the results are masterful . But what perhaps not everyone cognize is that Miller ’s films , in particular Mad Max : Fury Road and the new Furiosa : A harebrained Max Saga , have a ton of ocular effects . Like , a lot . More than you may perchance guess . He just does n’t utilise them only in obvious ways .
“ In Fury Road , in [ Furiosa ] , there are just any shots that have n’t been manipulate digitally , ” Miller tell io9 . “ For instance , change the sky . WhenSteven Spielberg shot Jaws , the ocean was changing all the prison term . If you look at that motion-picture show one minute it ’s choppy , one consequence it ’s flat . You do n’t demand to do that anymore . ”
So basically every injection in both Fury Road and Furiosa has some kind of digital changes to it . But , for the most part , it ’s subtle stuff . The Furiosa scene Miller pointed to was “ The Stowaway , ” one of the pic ’s middle chapters and also its long , most sprawling natural action sequence . In it , Furiosa ( Anya Taylor - Joy ) tries to hightail it the Citadel but instead finds herself in an epic battle versus a group of Wasteland pirates .

“ When you ’re doing extended sequences like ‘ The Stowaway ’ sequence , that was shot over 78 daytime . It ’s a 15 - moment sequence but the skies are coherent , ” Miller said . “ So we took what we remember was a honest sky and we can reproduce that sky mighty through the fib . So some shots have the tangible sky because the tangible sky looked really good . But in the next gibe , it might have been where it was a completely unlike sky so we were able to match that . you could do that . ”
The film clearly has other digital effect too but Miller is mostly a rooter of the ones that are invisible and keep everything smooth and cohesive . It ’s a huge plot - changer . “ If you were shoot Jaws again today , the sea would be consistent , ” He said . “ Even meticulous filmmakers , guys like David Lean when they shot Lawrence of Arabia — obsessively , punctilious with their camera and lighting and so on — you could see where they fool different times of daylight and so on . you could head off it now to some degree . It ’s a much bland experience . ”
Visually , Furiosa might be a suave experience but the experience overall is anything but , in the good possible way . It ’s now in theaters .
