The Flying Machine is a 2011 3-D live action/animation family feature film produced by BreakThru Films. The film is directed by Martin Clapp, Geoff Lindsey and Dorota Kobiela, and stars Heather Graham and Lang Lang.
A family takes a journey across the globe on a strange and amazing flying machine, experiencing a series of adventures along the way.
The Flying Machine is produced by BreakThru Films and is their first feature-length film to be shot in stereoscopic 3-D. It is the first film to combine live-action and stop-motion in 3-D. It is set to the études of Frédéric Chopin, and is intended to mark his 200th anniversary. The score was arranged by writer-director Geoff Lindsey and is performed by the film's co-star Lang Lang.
A number of short films were produced alongside the feature, each to be set to one of Chopin's étude. A total of 25 were produced, and were made in a variety of styles and formats, using live-action, stop-motion, and animation.
The Flying Machine previewed at the Royal Festival Hall in London on 12 February 2011. It is expected to screen on Sky 3D later in 2011, with a DVD and Blu-ray release to follow.
