[Film Facts 🎬 @Factsonfilm]

Christopher Nolan talks the scene where Cooper finds out he missed out on his kids' lives in #Interstellar

"It was always the north star of the film ... We filmed McConaughey’s reaction first ... he hadn’t seen the video messages—we’d filmed them all in advance, so that everything would be there in the moment ... The last piece of the puzzle was a beautiful piece of music by Hans Zimmer that hadn’t really found a place in the film. I think he literally referred to it as “organ doodle" ... it was devastating ... When the messages stop, the music stops ... it’s not the sort of thing that I like to do, but it felt perfect and apt for that moment"

Hello Everyone,
here is a little pyro project that i have been working on using Axiom solver & Karma CPU.
It's definitely not a one to one match with the ref but it has some interesting behavior . so i thought i might share it here.

I'd expect the @guardian to be better informed than this. A lot of VFX artists were involved in the making of this: 140 people!
