Crash CG Shot Animatic

I have been putting together an animatic of how the plane can crash. no attention has been paid to the details of the piece, more just how the shot could work. Here are a couple of versions, pretty similar though.

Third Tracked Shot

Ok so after the success we've had with the other two shots, we filmed and I tracked the last of our live action shots. I used the same process as before, and it worked well for us, and now we have all 3 shots ready for the model, rig and animation. Here is a quick test render to see if the track worked....it did!

Another shot done!

So after a successful test, and some good feedback (information can be found on the group blog) we went back to film our next shot. For this filming, I was confident that measurements were not necessary as i could get more accurate measurements from google maps. So after filming, I tracked the footage no problem, then scaled it afterwards using images taken from google maps, the scale of the plane based on real life reference (see Ollie's blog) and the scale of the first tracked shot compared to the plane in that one. It may sound a little confusing, but it was pretty easy! So here is a quick render to test that the shot worked, then just for fun i added a couple of particle emmiters:
