The background footage was shot in MiniDV format in Savannah, GA. This video was
3D motion tracked and the resulting track was used to match the camera movement in
Maya. A Russian MIG-17 fighter was modeled from reference photos taken during a
visit to a museum in Pooler, GA. The texture which was painted for this model is
based on the paint scheme of MIG-17 fighters which flew for North Vietnam during
the Vietnam War. The 3D planes were rendered in multiple passes, including
lighting layers, to allow more control in the resulting composite, which was
compiled in Shake.
