Interesting facts

Sentinel 2099 is a 1995 American apocalyptic science fiction film directed by Mike McGee. The cast includes Sam Bishop, Chris Carlson, Daniel Duff, Todd Huffman, Leon Jester, Michael Mansfield, and Jodie Whitley.

Production

The film's idea originated in 1987. It came from writer/director McGee wanting to combine his military experience with the science fiction genre. Inspired by post-apocalyptic films like Planet of the Apes and Damnation Alley,. He sought to use his experience as a visual effects artist to create the abandoned earth of the late 21st century using miniatures on a shoestring budget.

The film includes over 300 miniature special effects shots. Due to lack of suitable abandoned locations; literally entire sequences take place inside miniature locations. The shoot utilized many on-set, in-camera miniature shots combining actors and miniatures in the same shot in camera. On location in camera pyrotechnics were used to heighten the reality of combat.
