A British fighter pilot pursues the german ace that shot down his friend across sky and country... with murder in mind. But he discovers it's not so easy to kill a man when you have to look them in the eye
This was funded by an Irish Film Board scheme called 'Short Cuts' and was shot in November 2007. The Budget was Â70K, and was used entirely on the live action components of the film - leaving a grand total of ZERO for visual effects!
Rick Ryan completed all the visual effects shots, over 120 in total, entirely by himself. Dave Head modelled the aircraft (and truck), but Ryan textured, lit, animated and composited the shots over a six month period in 2008.
