How those fiery scenes in ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ were crafted
The setting for Tom Harper’s Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man film—a continuation of the Peaky Blinders episodic series—is during World War II. This means we now venture into war time, and the result is a lot more explosive. Engaged to deliver war-related aerial scenes and bombings, and a number of other explosive moments, was One of Us.

“Most of the film was shot on location, which I think is a big part of why the film feels different from the series. In fact, only the interior of the Garrison Pub was an entire practical set. The trade-off, of course, is that shooting almost everything on location means you’re constantly adapting real places to fit the story. That’s where VFX comes in, mostly to combine and extend.”

“All of the blood in the emotional finale is entirely digital. Everything from the blood on their clothes and hands to the pools of blood on the floor was added later and carefully art directed for believability and maximum impact. It was probably one of the fiddliest parts of our work, and Guillaume Menard and the rest of his team at One of Us absolutely nailed it.”
