Masters of the Air

Summary

Masters of the Air ’s diachronic legitimacy is the nidus of a unexampled behind - the - scene featurette , which shows how B-17 flying aspect were pull off . Executive produce by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg , the couplet behindBand of BrothersandThe Pacific , Masters of the Airchronicles the daring feat of the100th Bomb Group during World War II . The series , which star Austin Butler , Callum Turner , and Anthony Boyle , follow a select grouping of airman on the ground and in the air , with plenty of time spent in the abdomen of a B-17 Flying Fortress .

While the B-17 recreation were used for prime scenes in the cockpit and on the airport tarmacs , many of the literal flying prospect involved the manipulation of a replica cockpit on a gimbal on the Volume , tumid wall of adaptive digital projection screen . The video also breaks down the scrupulous work that costume designer Colleen Atwood put in to recreate the airplane pilot ' uniform , which included the exercise of epoch - specific leathers .

Does Masters Of The Air Rely Too Much On CGI?

The World War II Series Doesn’t Have A Choice

While theMasters of the Airreviewshave been mostly plus , the show has not quite hit the same critical heights asBand of BrothersorThe Pacific . At leastsome of the literary criticism has been aimed at the show ’s more all-encompassing manipulation of CGI , with its predecessors having been much more reliant on practical effects . The flying scenes , for the most part , wait quite skillful , but there ’s no denying that sure moments in the young series just miss the same gritty and haptic feel that its predecessor had .

Band of BrothersandThe Pacificare both presently available to stream on Max and Netflix .

These CGI criticism are certainly valid , butMasters of the Air ’s premise essentially mean that making a show in the same room thatBand of Brotherswas made just is n’t potential . Recreating a flying squadron of B-17s as they croak over occupy France is n’t something that can be done much , especially since real , air - suitable B-17s are now in unretentive supply . TheMasters of the Airbudget of $ 250 million for nine episodes is a gargantuan summation , but it ’s still just not realistic that the series can be pulled off without all-inclusive CGI .

As the video above can attest to , a big effort was made to assure that everything the centralMasters of the Aircastmembers interact with alfresco and inside the B-17 , including every dial and lever in the cockpit , is real . Even though exterior shots of planes as they ’re vanish are often accomplished digitally , thecraftsmanship that give-up the ghost into recreating the DoI and outside of a B-17 should still be lionize , and it verbalise to the authentic experience that the filmmakers are attempt to create for the viewersand for the actors .
