As founders of the Dutch aviation, idealist Albert Plesman and opportunist Anthony Fokker, are inextricably bound together. They cannot live with or without each other. During the interwar period and in spite of their differences, they pull off setting up civil aviation in the Netherlands, when the world is heading for a new war.
Planet X is excited to work on the many historical airplanes and locations this unique production requires. With the aid of external advisors, our team will focus on the creation of countless complex airplane assets that Fokker designed and created between 1924 and 1939.
Heavy on demanding photoreal CG, the production involves extensive R&D for both historical accuracy as well as (aero)dynamics for all 3D assets.

Object tracking
R&D process to explore possibilities of replacing a modern-day airplane by a 3D CG airplane, allowing the DOP to frame, follow and focus on something physical, instead of shooting empty plates for the same purpose.
Full CG test
A full CG test of a Fokker F.VII which verifies model, textures, shading, light and dynamics.
