The behind-the-scenes video of the “walking on glass” game in Squid Game piqued moviegoers’ interest!
Behind the terrifying “walking on glass” game in Squid Game is an equally scary behind-the-scenes!
The harsh yet very creative gameplay in the Korean blockbuster ‘Squid Game‘ is one of the most intriguing aspects of the movie. The complexity of the games in the Squid Game rises as the game progresses, challenging the player and drastically reducing the number of survivors. “Walking on Glass” is one of Squid Game‘s most difficult games, which is both hazardous and exhilarating.
In this game, players must take turns walking across a glass bridge to reach the other side. It is worth noting that the walkway is made of both regular and tempered glass. If the player steps on the regular glass, he will fall into the abyss below and die.
The scenes showing the player falling off the bridge pique the audience’s interest in what went on behind the scenes. How did the director and crew create these scenes while ensuring the actors’ safety? Did the actors really have to jump on the broken glass? It turns out that it’s all a “trick” of camera angles and effects.
In fact, the team has built a real “bridge” with a height of roughly 1 meter above the ground. However, because it is extremely narrow and the actors’ “free fall” is also completely real, the feelings shown in the scene are incredibly realistic. According to filmmaker Hwang Dong Hyuk, it is human inherent dread when confronted with a frightening situation.
However, for larger scenes requiring a higher sense of danger, the team also moved to film at a different “bridge” with a substantial height. For the time being, the actor will be tied to a cable for safety. So, as you can see, the backstage of Squid Game is just as scary as it is in the film!
Without a doubt, Korea’s greatest “blockbuster,” Squid Game, had a substantial investment and is receiving the attention it deserves. The film set records by being the first Korean film to reach the top of the Netflix US trending list. Squid Game’s games, such as “Green light, red light” or “Dalgona,” all went viral on social media.
