“Top Gun: Maverick” teased fans with a brief behind-the-scenes video showing the power of the movie’s use of real aerial effects rather than any CGI.
Both Tom Cruise and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have previously said that the movie will employ never-before-seen techniques to film practical aerial scenes rather than relying on CGI to do the visual work for them.
In a new video shared by Skydance captioned “No CGI here,” the crew films in the desert as a very low-flying jet skims over the tops of their heads.The nine-second teaser shows the crew reacting in slow motion as the plane blows their hair back, hurts their ears a bit and kicks up a fair amount of dust.
