Killshots - Final Cut Released

[ImADot]

Thanks for the complements, guys; I'm really starting to like this movie-making thing.  Now I have to start thinking of a storyline for my next one.

As far as the music goes, I like the somber melody of the Celtic piece that I chose.  I thought I'd try a little juxtaposition between the fast action of air combat and the mellow music to try and convey an emotion of people "killing and dying" for their "country".  After all, isn't the point of making a movie to stir an emotion in your audience?

You're thinking way too deep about this now Dot.

He actually isn't. I agree with him, to an extent. Since I don't care for music but for soundtracks alone.

I enjoyed the movie and I thought the music was a great match.
 
The only criticism I have is like lowZX14 I found it hard to track the aircraft at a distance while looking down against the terrain. Could you take some portions of those sequences from a different angle, maybe looking up against the sky?

overall, nice job

I'll be working on a squad video next, and will take everyone's suggestions under advisement. 
I've also got lots of mp3's and CD's to get re-aquainted with for the next soundtrack. 
I also set up a YouTube account, so will start posting there instead of my photobucket account.
Here's a link to the YouTube version:

I think the one scene that's the hardest to see is the one that starts around 1:52 where I'm coming up under a zero who's trying to shoot one of the "good guys".  I might redo this for a later movie.  Here's a screenshot of a possible angle:

That would work.

Perhaps set it up with a camera shot so the camera extends towards the right in a backwards motion.

Nice work sir!
