For this Project, our group are working as the VFX team for a client who is a Director from Framestore. The writer and producer is working closely with us also as I have been told he has a lot know-how when it comes to planes and especially Spitfire's! As for the film, it is based on a famous Spitfire pilot called Tuck and we will all help to produce 3-4 shots of the planes doing different maneuvers and movements etc.
Ollie has discussed the brief with Chris (Director) and Greg (Write and Producer) and is keeping close contact via emails throughout our progress on this project. We are pretty much their Research & Development department. As this film hasn't started production yet, they aren't sure how to shoot it and whether its easier to make fully cg shots or to film on location which would mean a bigger budget! We have to make this plane look realistic, so a lot of work will be doing into researching how they move and how they work. As an animator I will need to get loads of reference material and just watch it over and over and keep doing tests so that I can get the weight and movements right.
From what I understand at the moment, we will be doing both live action (tracked) shots with CG in them and fully CG shots.
