Dogfight student room (RAW edit)

A while ago I was asked by Felipe Belalcazar if I could provide him with some renders of BF109 and Spitfire having a dogfight in his student room for his Music Journalist and Videography studies project. I agreed and he provided me with the live-action backplates and the music for each shot so I could put the planes in.

I was able to work on it 4 days in between things and this is the raw end result. I've set up dogfight choreography, the flight paths, made the animation, lights, tracers and smoke and used manual camera tracking. I'm not entirely satisfied with the tracers however, they are still the old ones from the film I worked on earlier last year. At the moment I am already in the process of making them look better. The movement is also a little bit rocky in some instances unfortunately.

Music fragment used under the fair use principle, for complaints please contact me.

He was forced to use the greenscreen technique as outlined in his project brief.
