Cascade, stunt double… All the truth about the flying plate scene in Alibi.com 2!
The scene will undoubtedly have escaped no one, since it also features in the highlight of the trailer: the scene that we will modestly call “the flying plate”! A sequence that combines situation comedy and stunts.
But as Didier Bourdon, first concerned by this scene (see interview above), points out, “audacity has nothing to do with vulgarity” ! “The situation is strong and true. It’s not free !”.
The making of this scene required some ingenuity to achieve it, and Philippe Lacheau agreed to reveal the tricks.
We don’t have 3D glasses, but there are great special effects!
“It’s done backwards. You pull a little thread, and then you redo the image the other way around, so that it’s aimed. And we delete the thread. There are great ways! We don’t have 3D glasses, but there are great special effects. Tremble, James Cameron!“, joked Philippe Lacheau, questioned on the subject in the program Daily.
Another question that arises on this scene: understudy or not understudy? The answer is…double! “We can betray the secret, Didier had a double, a professional wrestler. Except that we were turning by 42°. There are very physical scenes, so the gentleman was very, very hot. But really hot! There were a lot of scenes where I had to be glued to certain parts of her body. It wasn’t crazy…“, revealed Philippe Lacheau in Children of TV
