To celebrate the release of Christopher Nolan’s soaring masterpiece, Dunkirk on home entertainment we’re bringing you an exclusive clip taking a look behind the scenes of how those aerial shots were filmed.

In the clip, entitled Taking to the Air, we hear from Director of Photography, Hoyte Van Hoytema, on the extreme measures Christopher Nolan loves to take to create the perfect shot, which is not an easy job. Revealing Nolan likes to get the perfect angle by doing the scene for real instead of using CGI effects.

You can watch the clip below.

Dunkirk tells the famous story of “Allied soldiers from Britain, Belgium, Canada, and France are surrounded by the German Army on the beaches of Dunkirk and evacuated in Operation Dynamo between 26 May and 4 June 1940, during the early stages of the Second World War.”

Directed by Christopher Nolan, the film stars, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, Fionn Whitehead, Aneurin Barnard, Jack Lowden, Barry Keoghan, Tom-Glynn Carney and Harry Styles making his acting debut.
