It takes a lot to make a movie. The back-end team along with the front-end plays a prominent role and works really hard to carve a successful movie. However, to get to know the paths of success one must first learn to walk the distance with discipline. One needs to be extra cautious as well as disciplined and devoted towards his/her work in order to set the bar high. Who doesn’t know Tom Cruise as a spectacular actor? Guess everyone does but he also sets the true example for discipline.

Cruise, who was featured in the 1986 picture Top Gun, was in charge of the visual effects and was eager to push the limits in order to make his on-screen fighter pilots as “real” as possible. The actors got fighter pilot instruction, as well as in-depth technical education on how to record, light, and edit video captured by 4K cameras inside their cockpits. Cruise wanted special effects to be avoided, claiming that audiences would realize “the G-force is real… it’s not a computer-generated image, it is actually the actors. The aerial footage is beautiful. It is a love letter to aviation”. Even if they had to puke for their art, the US star made sure that “impossible” missions for the stars became a reality, with reviewers hailing it as the finest air force picture ever.
