The Challenge
During the shooting of the film "The Snowman", based on Jo Nesbø's novel, it was essential to achieve and maintain very low temperatures on a large film set in order to preserve real snow and create realistic winter environments. Moreover, the need to produce frost smoke to enhance the visual effects during the actors' performances was also necessary.
The Solution
Energy Rent supplied and installed 4 x 200kW chilled water machines and 4 x 100kW chilled water coils with defrosting functions. This system was supplemented with 8 pumps, 50 x 10 meter 4″ flexible hoses, a 1.2MW generator, a 5m3 diesel tank with fuel handling, 4m3 glycol and a humidifier. These components were meticulously set up to cool the film set to –4°C and create reliable frost smoke.
The Result
The advanced cooling and frost smoke systems ensured that the film set continuously maintained the necessary low temperatures and frost smoke effects. This helped to create a convincing and realistic winter landscape that was crucial for the film's aesthetic and narrative integrity. The result was a visually impressive production that lived up to both the director's vision and the expectations of Jo Nesbø's fans.
Energy Rent played a crucial role in achieving the visual effects and cold environment necessary for 'The Snowman'. Their technical solutions and effective implementation ensured that we could focus on bringing the story to life.
