Awesome World War II Dogfighting Filmed On Zero Budget

One of the things I love computer for is how they have democratized the access to things that once were only come-at-able by a very few . This World War II short film called The German is a perfect good example .

In the cinema , “ a British fighter pilot burner pursue the german ace that blast down his friend across sky and commonwealth … with murder in creative thinker . But he discovers it ’s not so well-situated to kill a human beings when you have to look them in the eye . ” Apparently , the Irish Film board gave about $ 92,000 to fund the film , which only paid for the live action filming . The music director , Nick Ryan , ended with zero dollars for the visual effects , which are crucial to set up the story . So he did them himself :

I completed all the optical effects shots , over 120 in total , entirely by myself . Dave Head modelled the aircraft ( and truck ) , but I textured , lit , animise and composited the dead reckoning over a six month period in 2008 .
