Sunday February 5, 2005 - Pre-production begins with test shoot to validate the use of 1/18th scale model cars as part of a pyrotechnic special effects. The cars were wired with small highly controlled explosives, and electrically detonated. The tests were conducted against green screen and captured using a high-speed Arri 35-3 35mm camera operating at 120fps in order to compensate for the car's scale. 800ft of film was exposed and sent to DuArt in NYC for processing.

Saturday February 12, 2005 - DigiBeta, MiniDV dubs, as well as film prints were received from DuArt. The footage was analyzed, and the results from the test were very encouraging, showing that the scale model cars looked very realistic and consistent with the behavior of full size cars when subjected to explosives. This test validates the use of the Arri 35-3 camera operating at 120fps in order to slow the action of the 1/18-scale model cars to simulate the inertial forces of the real thing.
