Cinematographer Claudio Miranda, Joseph Kosinski and star-producer Tom Cruise worked closely with the Navy to develop the cinematographical approach to "Maverick," shooting a test of Maverick's rogue practice run after which he devised a months-long training program to get his younger castmates up to speed. A set up of six cameras each was installed in two F/A-18s flown by actual pilots. Making precious space in the cockpit by removing unnecessary hardware, the filmmakers installed 6k Sony Venice digital cinema cameras with lightweight lenses and the new Rialto system extending the camera's sensor blocks, allowing for film to be shot over the actors' shoulders and in toward the plane. Cameras had to clear the ejection path, run on batteries so as to not tap into the plane's power, and safely and securely withstand shocks, vibration and more than 7.5 Gs. Once Miranda made it through the exacting trial-and-error and approval process, he was good to go. The filmmakers were able to capture not only character performances but the real effects of flight maneuvers in their actors' faces, a quality that Miranda believes makes a perceptible difference to the moviegoer. For example, Miranda points to Cruise's catapult launch from the deck of the USS Theodore Roosevelt. "You see Tom taking off from the aircraft carrier and you see him do that drop. In most movies all they do is [jerk backwards] and then they take off. But when you see Tom, what's exciting is that there's another little drop when he leaves the deck." "For some reason when you see that, you go, 'We're really with him,'" he said. "I think that is what makes this movie really special."
