He finally discovered that there were several effects used in the scene, so he started his project recreating each of them one one. He used a lot of items in his project to get the desired effects – like a fish tank, glitter, water, cornstarch, glue, oils, and even a frying pan. “We recreated Chropher Nolan’s nuclear explosion from Oppenheimer with zero CGI, along with a few other effects from Oppenheimer. With Oppenheimer’s budget of $100 million, we had no clue if this was even possible. Through lots of experimentation and testing, it was surprising just how close we were able to recreate the practical effects from Oppenheimer without any VFX of our own. I still can’t believe what we were able to do,” Baker posted while sharing the video.
