New Video: Over My Head
« on: December 22, 2008, 06:32:48 PM »


I found my best films of what usually happens when playing Aces High II.

(If you look closely at about 40 seconds to a minute, 3 or 4 spit 16s go for the kill on my F4U-1D an all miss)

High Quality

You've gotten better at doing your camera shots and getting better angles.  A few shots were too zoomed out to even tell what was going on.  But that's easily correctable.

A couple of things you still need some help on are:

The low FPS of your videos.  They're quite jerky and its because your computer isn't fast enough (at least its not fast enough to properly use Fraps).  Try use the Save as AVI feature in the Film viewer.  A few member who have slower/older computer are able to get high quality video because they use this feature rather than using Fraps.  You may not notice it as much since your compiling all that video together, but to your audience it can really take away from the movie itself.  If I'm going to buy a car and I have two choices.  Both cars run fine but one is held together by duct tape, I'm gonna by the non-duct tape car.

I'd start working on a theme for your movies rather than just a collection of kill shots.  You can make a movie out of flying in the MA, but maybe put a story behind it.  Like your P39 movie.  That at least had the basis of the movie of the 'awesomeness' of the P39.

I remember the part right at 2:05. From the video, it looked like we were taking off as escorts for the B-24s.

Fulmar covered the majority of what I was going to mention. You definitely seem to be more comfortable with the Camera Shots, so don't let up on how many you're using not forgetting to get in close so that the viewer can actually determine what's happening. (Just don't forget not to get too close...) You also did a decent job synchronizing the shots (or some of them) to your music selection.

Great job on slinging the action at the viewer, I most certainly wasn't bored during any stage of the film. I feel that's the primary goal of the film maker, to keep the viewer entertained, and I feel this film did just that.

Nice one. :aok
