The lighting rig used for the burning church was five stories high and consisted of 2,000 1K tungsten lamps, a total of 2 megawatts. It was one of, if not the largest, lighting rigs ever built for a film. According to director Sam Mendes, the ‘burning church’ was the largest rig ever created by his DP Roger Deakins. This myriad of lights was transformed into the ‘blazing inferno’ by visual effects in post. (x)
