I knew a really good location that was close to my house that would be perfect for filming our shots. We packed up all our gear and took to the road! We set up in the middle of a field which had a slight incline in it and trees surrounsing it. we could see Biggin Hill from where we were, which is where our pilot Tuck was actually based! In order to tack this shot, we had to set out tarcking point, markers if you will, so that greg could use this to track out the shot into 3D space i the computer which let us animate to it.
We had fun pushing 70 of these into the hard ground. The sun was crazy hot and when we came to filming, we couldn't even see the markers because there were too small! Eventually we had to use ourselves as markers by standing in each corner of the 'grid' we wanted to create to track from. With that said, we got a nice piece of footage that we were able to animate too. This would be for our flyby shot.
