Sherlock Holmes 2 (Forest Scene) - How?

[DDirector]

This chase scene in the forest from Sherlock Holmes 2 was awesome!
The mix of fast/slow motion and all the explosions and canons, is intense. I really like this;

Im wondering how these things were done:
-Wide dolly shot and quick zoom into a close up and in slow-mo. @0:50
-Wide dolly shot, rack focus to tree. Tree explodes and rack back @0:54
-Bark exploding from bullet @1:03
-Close Up on a tight lens while running @1:51
-Lighting? (Especially since its super slow-mo)
-I like the colour in this too. Any notes on grading?

[SPOILER][/SPOILER]Not that I would know from personal experience but it seems like some really nice high-speed motion-control work.

But looking at some of the behind the scenes footage on YouTube, it was just a camera on a dolly. Didnt see any motion tracking stuff

Looks like a ton of greenscreen is involved and massive layering in 3D space in post.
I like the scene, though for my taste they did go a bit too far with grading.
It's almost like 2strip.

I loved that scene, while it did reak of special effects I think it worked really nice. It gave me a fair amount of up and down rollercoaster feel.

That Milo system is insane! Would love to try that out just for fun...
