10 Recent Movie Shots You Didn't Know Were Accomplished With CGI

5. The Antique Shop Glass - John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

John Wick: Chapter 3 features a good deal more CGI than its predecessors, and while noticeable for the most part, it still looks pretty damn stellar.

But there's one sequence early in the film which boasts unexpected and brain-breakingly complex use of virtually invisible CGI, when John (Keanu Reeves) is taking on a fleet of assassins in an antique store.

The sequence sees several glass cabinets in a hallway getting smashed, and while most audience members would simply assume the scene was shot with easily breakable safety glass, that wasn't the case at all.

On set, the cabinets actually didn't have windows at all, with the magicians at Method Studios instead creating all the glass digitally.

This painstaking extended to tracking every last fragment of glass in real time during the fight, and the studio even colour-coded the CGI glass to keep track of the damage each piece of glass had received.

The end result is, frankly, stunning, and few viewers would have even the faintest clue they were looking at an insanely complex array of VFX systems - object rendering, physics simulation, and motion tracking - working in brilliant tandem.
