Trailer

London bombing sequence: Previz to Final

For the London bombing sequence of the film, we made use of aerial pictures of London for the initial matte painting.
We removed all modern buildings and inserted period buildings while leaving the iconic London Monuments.
We then went on to create a 3D previz for the airplanes and simulated smoke and explosions for the shot.
