A team with the Warsaw Uprising Museum has reconstructed the devastated ruins of the city in the spring of 1945, just after World War II, and created a short 5-minute 3D film recreating the sight from a British Liberator flying over the city right after the way. Based on thousands of history pictures, paintings, and modern arial imagery, it depicts a realistic view of the devastated city and rubble to visitors of the museum.
“It was a unique project to build a 3D model of authentic city ruins and make five minutes of film from it,” Mr. Gryn said. “I don’t think that anyone in the world has done this.”
His team took a helicopter flight over contemporary Warsaw to film base material. They filled it in with detail from some 2,000 historic pictures, films and paintings — some from private archives — to re-create Warsaw as it was after the war.
