Lancaster Skies
Douglas Miller, a broken, solitary, Spitfire ace, who survived the Battle of Britain, transfers to Bomber Command, determined to take the war to the skies over Nazi Germany. Douglas must take the place of a Lancaster Bomber crew's cherished and respected skipper, who was killed in action. With the crew against him, he must gain their trust and overcome his past to become the leader they so desperately need.
‘LANCASTER SKIES’ IS A LOVING HOMAGE TO THE CLASSIC BRITISH WAR FILMS OF THE 1940’S AND 50’S. THE PRODUCTION TEAM SET ABOUT THE CREATIVE PROCESS WITH THOSE GEMS FROM THE PAST FIRMLY IN MIND. WITH THE TOTAL BUDGET FOR THE FILM SET AT ONLY £80K, THE SMALL PRODUCTION TEAM KNEW THAT THE VISUAL ELEMENT OF THE FILM WAS GOING TO PROVE VERY CHALLENGING INDEED. IN KEEPING WITH THE RETROSPECTIVE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE FILM SCALE MODELS WERE USED FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE VISUAL EFFECTS. DIGITAL EFFECTS WERE DELIBERATELY KEPT TO A BARE MINIMUM. THE RESULT IS A FILM SET DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR WITH THE POWER TO MAKE AN AUDIENCE FEEL THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED BACK TO THE ART DECO PICTURE HOUSES OF THE PAST.
