This director had a pretty specific idea that he wanted to make this movie as realistic as possible and he created this device called a gimble. It’s basically a human eggbeater that they stuck the end of the cockpit onto so that you can recreate. And I think one of the very beautiful things about this movie is it’s seamless in terms of the CGI and the mix of putting me and Jessica and Jamie inside of the CGI and looking like we’re flying. You would be surprised that these planes are not real much less not flying.
