    What exactly was wrong with my post?

    If I take the time to think about something and write down my thoughts on it, I do not expect it to just be deleted without reason.

    If you have a problem with what I say, tell me how I am wrong. I am not a brick wall.

    How is this not a film?

    Why have I never heard about this?

    Amazing story.

    I think if you gave credit to the location and aircraft operators, there could be no potential issues, but even these are probably not required, as the image is one you’ve taken yourself – it’s your intellectual property.

    I found this interesting and thought others would too:

    “A couple of comments about the movie from Ed Shipley:

    Quote:
    Just left OSH after spending a couple days with Lucas there…. he showed the trailer at the Young Eagles dinner… got a standing ovation. Then played it last night at the Ford Theater in the woods…. thousands of people there…. another standing ovation… and they screamed for it to be played again… which they did.

    ASB has been helping consult on the flying sequences with the Mustangs for over year…. its been very cool to see this movie come together. The flying is mostly CGI… I wasn’t sure about how it would really come out at first… but George’s team has nailed it. For the first time ever the epic scale of aerial combat has been captured. No one could ever find the real planes or money to do it in the lens… George has the technology and skill set to make it all from scratch….

    End of the day…. it’s a dog fighting movie…. over an hour of aerial combat…. it’s off the hook.

    —-

    I’ve been looking at the Red Tail CGI for almost two years now. These guys are really driving for as much detail as they can… for example they were at the Gather of Mustangs and Legends taking photos of the tiny details of the Mustangs metal… which they then used to skin into the wire frames they built. ASB took two Mustangs up to Skywalker and attacked the ranch so their sound design folks could capture the noise the Stangs made. It goes on and on. As I watched the CGI come together… one of the things that I was quite taken back by was the scope of the number of aircraft in the air. Hundreds of them… these are not numbers that Lucas made up so he could make the movie bigger… it’s how it really was. No one has been able to generate that number of planes in the air before. Additionally, because of the CGI they were able to place the camera (and audience) in places to watch the action where no one has ever been before…. which at times makes some of the shots overwhelming… but when was the last time anyone sat still at 20,000 feet and had a hundred B-17’s come by while they were being attacked?

    All I can tell you is that these guys have attacked the dogfight sequences with great effort and passion… “

    ?? Do you mean itΒ΄s been a long time in post production? Or pre-devolpment?
    Because CGI heavy films take a lot of post production.

    Understatement of the thread! 😎

    Can’t we all just get along?

    I wonder if a Star Wars forum somewhere is up in arms, because the P-51 @ 2:15 in the trailer turns on a dime!

    And for those claiming the CGI has no problems, just take a look at that one part.

    Doesn’t bother me, personally. Just saying.

    And those 262’s roll suspiciously fast.

    Anyway, remember –

    WE FIGHT, WE FIGHT, WE FIGHT, WE FIGHT.

    The picture of the bi-planes and hurricane inside a period hanger on a wartime airfield. What is that, a 100 years of aviation history? It’s a privilege to be able to experience that today.

    Well said. Beautiful photo, that.
