Danny Ramirez from “Top Gun: Maverick” at the Oscars redcarpet:
Cinematographer Claudio Miranda had an inkling “Top Gun: Maverick” might perform well at the box office opening weekend after he and director Joseph Kosinski boarded a plane and half the passengers were watching the film on their seat-back screens. “It was a real surreal moment,” says the “Life of Pi” Oscar winner, who’s collaborated with Kosinski on all of his features to date including the 2013 sci-fi thriller “Oblivion” that also starred Tom Cruise.
It meant the actors would go through an extensive training program in order to sit inside a cockpit pulling over 7Gs of force. To capture the visceral high-flying affair, each jet was configured with six Imax-quality Sony Venice cameras with four facing the actor from different angles and two looking forward. Additional ground to air, helicopter to jet and jet to jet cameras intensified the action.
His other idea came after filming an intense scene where one of the pilots passes out during a training session. “He was very expressive with his eyes and slightly over the top in a dramatic way so you’re drawn into the emotion of the character. Tom [Cruise, who also served as producer] got all the actors in a room and we showed them that they needed to slightly exaggerate their head movements and what their eyes are doing.
The aerial photography wasn’t the only material Miranda and Hamilton collaborated on to get just right. The entire story is shown through the perspective of Maverick with the Top Gun pilot appearing in nearly every scene. To connect the emotional beats of his journey to the audience, camera shots were designed to include Maverick in the foreground or background. An early bar scene that introduces his relationship with Penny followed by the new recruits is a shining example.
