Amazing video showing how VFX can be hidden in plain sight.
Old school special effects in video….
Remember when Hollywood made films using practical effects instead of digital?
Well, I’m playing around with that.
Shooting the background plate for my WWII pilot standing in the snow waiting for the weather to clear.
The “snow” was sifted flour on a model of a P40 fighter.
And the finished product. Well first version anyway. Still off on me looking like I’m really in the scene.
Edited in After Effects.
The fog and flying snow flakes was also filmed old school.
Fog was my fog machine.
Snow flakes was more flour filmed floating in the air, lit from behind to light them up.

I’ve put many hours in this, mostly because I don’t know how to do CG and am still learning After Effects.
This is one of several in this series I’m putting together for our stock portfolio.
