The movie 'Escape: Project Silence' (hereinafter 'Escape') released a 'CG or REAL' video containing realistic CG and behind-the-scenes footage of the shooting.

In the video released 'escape' production team "There was only one goal"(Director Kim Tae-gon), "How Real Can It Look"(CG Supervisor Song Yong-gu), "I wanted to film it properly."(Director Hong Kyung-pyo) gathers together to guess the passion and effort that embodied the worst series of disasters in history on the screen.

First of all, the scene of a 100-fold crash that maximizes the audience's immersion from the beginning of the movie is not CG but actually filmed. Rumor has it that a large set of 200 meters was made at the Gwangyang container dock, set up hundreds of vehicles, and filmed 60-70 vehicles continuously crashing. In addition, the military experimental dog Eco, which threatens survivors, was created in collaboration with CG technology from Dexter Studio, the nation's top VFX company, and a martial arts team. A situation in which a martial arts team who had to act and film a virtual existence, who had been trained for months, wore a blue suit and moved in harmony with the actors, and based on this, a 100% CG character 'Echo' was created in Dexter Studio.

In the play, the spectacular fire show scene of Lekka knight Jo Park is surprising because it was found that it was filmed by real, not CG, and even Joo Ji-hoon, not a stand-in. Director Kim Tae-gon was surprised by Joo Ji-hoon's enthusiastic performance, which perfectly digested the scene that was supposed to be replaced by CG, and "I was surprised to see a much bigger fire than a car driver, and all the staff and actors applauded."

Finally, spectacular scenes such as helicopter crashes, massive explosions, and airport bridges on the verge of collapse were realized by numerous staff, including the VFX team, martial arts team, and art team. "I wanted to make the moment when the helicopter exploded the most suffocating" As martial arts director Lee Kun-moon said, it gives viewers a sweaty feeling and announces the birth of the coolest and most thrilling disaster survival thriller this summer.



Meanwhile, 'escape' is a story of people struggling to survive out-of-control military experimental dogs released on the airport bridge on the verge of collapse after a series of crashes in thick fog, and will be released on the 12th.
