Favorite practical effects: The war rig vs. the berm
#SERIOUSLY#WORLD BUILDING#YOU ARE SO USED#TO your vehicle being ON FIRE that you have built something into it#to use the excessive sand of your environment#to make it NO LONGer on fire#oh my god (via whisperingkuiperbelt)
World building is a bitch, but totally worth it
But impractical. TWo supercharged engines and the intake were both in the path of the sand blast. I am under the impression that the blowers are roots type and cannot be turned off, so this would have dumped large quantities of sand into the engine.
The intakes have covers that close. If I’m not mistaken, you see them close at the beginning of this scene.
I don’t remember them showing them close, but they show them open at the end of the sequence. I gif’d the re-opening, but then decided not to include it in the original set:
I don’t know anything about engines and whether or not this would actually be workable in real life, but it worked for me as fun movie-magic.
