Topic: The Pacific miniseries

Netflix finally got The Pacific in, so I've been watching it and just have to ask... do they now have a plugin to add severed arms and legs into each explosion? It's almost crossing from the horrors of war into comedy territory... (just about done with episode 6)

Not a plugin, but there's a lot of elements being thrown around that show, wouldn't surprise me if there were a bunch of limb plates. A huge number of things like dirt hits, explosions, tracer hits, water hits, and tree hits were added in post - so there's a pretty good chance that the explosion you're looking at, if it's not right in front of you, is fake.

I can't speak for the whole series, but for the episode I worked on, we did indeed have an entire directory of severed limbs among the various explosion and bloodburst elements.

I didn't work on any shots that used them, but they were there.
