Hey, I was wondering if you guys could critique my model for an upcoming film...
Dark, I know but a slight gamma increase will fix that.
I'm just looking for a few ideas on how to make it look more real before I bake the shadow map.
Thanks much!

Edit: Here's the photo I'm trying to replicate (I'm trying to replicate w/o the white 'fireflies' with in blender internal, image was rendered in luxrender)

Looks realistic. I'm noticing a seam running across the 1x2 tiles on screen left. Might want to see what's going on with those pieces. Light in the back seems more intense. Perhaps that's due to the lack of the ceiling pieces.
Looks pretty good Wingman. I would personally try to create some more sharp contrasted lighting like you would see in a film like Alien or something. But if it doesn't fit, it should be fine the way it is now.
In your reference image I see the light coming through those grills in the ceiling, you might want to try to replicate that as well, maybe you could get some interesting shadows.

There's lots of ways to enhance sets in post-production. In Brick It, I added signs to the coffee shop windows and the burger joint in After Effects to make the backgrounds more interesting. In Unrenewable, Smeagol built whole CGI cityscapes. Best bet would be to ask titanpictures what he means, I would have thought.

I've been wondering to death how he did that. Is there a way to do it in Blender?

It can be done in any 3d modelling program.

How? Is it just motion tracking?
That's very good, Wingman, but I don't really like that grey background.
I like your setting wingman .. it's the way I would build it, too. I think you should extend it a bit in the background .. you will have more options for cinematography later.
Here is a in scene pic from my upcoming project .. all, except the background image is cgi:
I love how it blends in with the clouds! And it really matches the background!
Excellent work! 
Wow, that jet reminds me a lot of a jet I made one time, with almost that exact same color scheme. 
Looks awesome.

I do like the model and the background, though one thing I noticed that the shadows (mainly on the white part toward the back of the jet) don't match up with the light source (aka the sun 
). Just a slight recalculation would rectify this minute error. Keep up the good work!
Ignore the low quality BG and lighting, I'm shooting the HD footage for this shot next week. Next I need to add some foliage to the roof like leaves and branches etc.
