Ensured aerodynamic accuracy with smooth motion paths, rotor dynamics and realistic flight physics.
Environmental & Atmospheric Effects:
Built detailed 3D desert landscapes and architectural ruins to ground the scene in an authentic setting.
Added dust, debris and haze particle effects for cinematic realism and atmospheric depth.
Immersive Point-of-View Shots:
Designed both pilot and ground-level perspectives, capturing the scene from multiple vantage points.
Enhanced with camera shakes, dynamic lighting and lens effects to reflect urgency and tension.
