In order to accomplish this, a custom set was designed and built and the basic scene was shot on 35mm motion picture film by The Mahoney Media Group in Minnesota. The scene, without effects, was then edited by Kevin Vosecky at Creative Edge Communications. Individual frames of film were digitized and captured to hard disk. The characteristics of the "tongues of fire" (including interaction with the live scene elements such as windows, furniture, people, etc.) were then plotted out and digitally composited with the original footage.The spectacular results (though not quite as impressive as the real thing 2000 years ago) got the point across to a modern-day TV audience. As Kevin worked on the project, he couldn't help noticing the irony. His mother had always told him not to play with fire.
