"Day of Valor" was created as a teaser trailer to use as a presentation, along with a screenplay for a proposed live-action feature film. It represents a real event from WWII that seems to only be remembered by history buffs, not the general public. The concept of B-24s bombers flying a mission at the level of cornstalks stretches the imagination, so I wanted to create a feel for what that must have looked like, even though what I have represented here is actually scaled back considerably from the real numbers of aircraft involved. I made all the models in Lightwave, rendered them out in HD, comped the many layers (up to 60 in some shots) in After Effects along with some Particle Illusion elements. This was all done on a single MacPro with off the shelf software. [less]
