Top Gun's CGI Secret: 2,400 Shots You Didn't Notice

At first glance, Top Gun Maverick's heart-pounding aerial scenes look 100% real. But behind the IMAX-filmed cockpit closeups lies an elaborate VFX effort few viewers noticed. By blending real jet footage with meticulously crafted CGI models, the Top Gun VFX crew pulled an elaborate illusion. Learn how they created photorealistic animations, matched real jet lighting, and added danger-free formations using a GPS data workflows - plus the full-scale Darkstar model by Lockheed Martin that was so convincing it attracted Chinese spy satellites. Discover how Tom Cruise and the Top Gun VFX team blended real jet footage with convincingly animated stand-ins, leveraged 3D scans and geospatial data for uncannily natural motion, and snuck in well over 2000 VFX shots without ever sacrificing realism. The making of Top Gun's stratospheric spectacle reveals a masterclass in invisible CGI. But make no mistake - there's tons of CGI!
