Slow But Deadly

So things have been really busy for us lately, working on several projects at the same time. But all those long hours are beginning to pay off, especially when you start seeing some results.

One of the most rewarding things is that with each project there is so much to learn, not only from an animation point of view, but also technically and historically. Take WWII planes for example, how fast do they fly, how does air affect them or what is the function of all those wing parts. So many questions, so little time. And then there is the historical background, which in itself is really interesting. This story chronicles the events surrounding the 1942 Battle of Midway, a pivotal naval battle in the Pacific Theater that took place six months after the Pearl Harbor attack.

We were mostly working on those so-called SBD planes, short for Scout Bomber Douglas.... nicknamed: Slow But Deadly!!!!  

The first trailer is out!!!! I worked on the shot at 1:13 when the SBD planes are flying towards the Japanese fleet. I share credits with Hoa Tu Ngoc (VFX Lighting artist), who lit the shot and Lukasz Remis (VFX Compositing artist) who composited it.

This star-studded historical war drama opens November 8th. Here is the trailer. Enjoy!!!!
