What's left behind the scenes

Director and screenwriter Jean-Jacques Annaud imagined that 5% of the future film would be edited from footage of the fire itself taken on smartphones, television news footage, etc. Therefore, a year before the film's release, he placed an ad requesting recordings of traffic jams caused by the fire, people on the street praying for salvation from the fire, and footage from the scene taken by foreign correspondents. He even created a website where such materials could be sent.
The most difficult part was filming the collapse of the spire inside the cathedral. A scaled-down belfry had to be built in a pavilion (maintaining all proportions during construction), and then set on fire there. The scene was filmed with a minimum of personnel on set. Everyone present was wearing protective suits. The scene was shot in one take, using 12 cameras equipped with protective casings.
The flames in the film are real – either taken from footage sent to the filmmakers, or filmed during a fire reconstruction in a pavilion. The film still contains approximately 400 visual effects. Their presence is due to the need to remove cables and various pipes and tubes from the image, as well as add plumes of smoke and tongues of flame to scenes with actors (they were not filmed where it was dangerous).
Restoration work was underway at Notre-Dame, so filming there was impossible. Filming took place in other cathedrals in France, in particular in Bourges (where they filmed mainly the surroundings of the Saint-Stephen Gothic Cathedral), in Amiens Cathedral (where they filmed some of its elements), and in the Catholic Cathedral in Sens in Burgundy (where they filmed the staircase leading to the top of the bell tower, the nave, and scenes in which fire spreads through the wooden structures of the 13th century).
