Alem Avenure cut off to film a short feature on Robotech

"This morning the first block of Alem Avenuewas was cut off for three hours , where they filmed part of a locally produced short film based on the Japanese cartoon series Robotech .

"It is a fully independent short using our own resources, on this 80's cartoon. It's based on the first chapter, and what happened in Latin America," said the producer of the film, Cesar Turturro.

"We just ended up filming one of the most important scenes is the deployment of soldiers and extras upon seeing the 'machine' on Avenida Alem. It's exciting," said an actor dressed in a camouflage suit.

Turturro said that postproduction of the short take about five months because it will have special effects and computer animated characters.

At that stage what will be added digitally will be "a very ugly robot, alien, about 18 meters high and a robot Veritech built in Argentina, piloted by an Argentine pilot who practically steals it to come to defend the bahienses ", he said.

Turturro is also director of the film 1982: We were there about the performance of Naval Aviation and Air Force in the war with Britain over the Falkland Islands and it also combines real actors and scenes with characters and computer-animated environments.

The CG in his 1982 Malvinas reminds me of History Channels Dogfight.





Hopefully it can match this, then the fans will be in for a real treat.
