From actors' bodies conveying the strain of sustaining G-forces in the air to jet wings flapping realistically and beyond, the practical imperfections captured on film give the cinematography of "Maverick" its unique texture and power. "Sometimes you'd try to keep it in shot and the mess of what it is had more energy, so a lot of what we wanted was using long lens and trying to keep in the frame but not doing a good job. All that makes it much more exciting and real and human," he said. Claudio Miranda cited the visceral pre-CGI clunkiness of stop-motion animated AT-AT walkers of L'Impero colpisce ancora (1980). "Now everything is gazelle-like and [missing] human imperfection, which is what I think gives the energy to ["Top Gun: Maverick"], and I think that's what people are responding to." As such, the filmmakers decided not to clean up one aspect of their aerial photography that keen-eyed viewers might notice: the barely perceptible reflection of the cameras in some shots. "There was talk about, do we get rid of them? But that would have make it even more synthetic," he said. "We worked so hard to get it in camera that we left them in there a little bit intentionally, because we're really capturing this."
