Goafer Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Link to the film. A British fighter pilot pursues the german ace that shot down his friend across sky and country... with murder in mind. But he discovers it's not so easy to kill a man when you have to look them in the eye This was funded by an Irish Film Board scheme called 'Short Cuts' and was shot in November 2007. The Budget was €70K, and was used entirely on the live action components of the film - leaving a grand total of ZERO for visual effects! I completed all the visual effects shots, over 120 in total, entirely by myself. Dave Head modelled the aircraft (and truck), but I textured, lit, animated and composited the shots over a six month period in 2008. The effects aren't perfect, but given how they were made I'd say they were incredible. I'd love to see the same guy make a full length film in a similar style.
Daft Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 I wonder how hard that would be to do. It's a shame the crashed planes looks so bad. They should have just found a way to avoid showing them or used props.
