The miniature FX of ‘Air Force One’

January 8, 2021

Watch these video interviews with the team behind the work.

Berton Pierce has been releasing segments from his Sense of Scale doco, and this latest piece is on Boss Film’s miniatures for Air Force One. Hear direct from Dave Jones and Bruce Macrae, plus check out behind the scenes pics.

A few years ago at vfxblog I also interviewed VFX supe Richard Edlund about the film’s effects, including the controversial CG shots.

  1. I recently watched this film again. Awesome work with the scale models. Looks so realistic. Too bad for that fake CGI shot (one of the worst memorable shots) at the end crash.
