Here are some suggestions:

1. Don't use music making references to sex. Soundtracks are preferred.

2. Try not to get the mouse into the recorded film.

3. Try to get some more camera angles on your kills. We mainly saw internal views of all your kills. Show us some external views from under the wing, next to a gun, at the nose, gun-cam, behind the canopy, etc... Simply mix up the camera angles to increase the excitement of your film a little.

That's all I can come up with right now. Mainly because of the startling reference towards bed time in your film's music. The only part I could really focus on was your proud kill of VansCrew. Nice job!:cool:

If you are gonna stay in your Internal view. Make sure the "Use Recorded Views" is checked.

THis way we can see your opponent more than just looking out the front of your plane.

You'll need to lower the resolution at which your recording with in fraps.  Perhaps use Half Size in Fraps options.  The recording FPS was sub 30 frames per sec, which is not to be desired.

One thing you can gain from your first movie is that "It's a start."  Each movie you do you learn new tips on making it better.  So the comments and suggestions may be more negative and plentiful than you wanted, it will only make your next films that much better.
