Republic of Ireland Ireland - WW2/Emergency - interesting short movie

[gerardkenny]

Here is an interesting short movie some may be interested in :

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 €70K, and was used entirely on the live action components of the film - leaving a grand total of ZERO for visual effects!

I completed all the visual effects shots, over 120 in total, entirely by myself. Dave Head modelled the aircraft (and truck), but I textured, lit, animated and composited the shots over a six month period in 2008.

. . . . with murder in mind . . .

Why is it "murder," they were engaged in warfare, I mean its not like he was flying along a Belgian country road machine gunning a column of refugess is it?

Hmmm, I had thought that part was in relation to the events on the ground, which would be personal revenge rather than combat. I think that part of the blurb possibly should have been worded differently.

It is a well made short film.
