The esteemed director Christopher Nolan believes in realism for his movies. He prefers to use practical effects to capture explosions with any computer graphics assistance.
Talking about Oppenheimer, Nolan shared in an interview with Collider,
“I don’t want to use computer graphics because they tend to be inherently safe. They don’t give you that threat of things in the real world. So the crew worked on all methods of doing things.”
“So, we certainly did have a lot of very large explosions on set, but none of them were of the atomic variety. I can’t say what it cost, no.”
Nolan also shared that he re-created the town of Los Alamos in New Mexico with his team battling the extraordinarily harsh weather for the real-life effect.
