Not bad best part was the duel with the 3 planes over the water where in the end the a6m augurs to try and shoot at you.

Was this playback from the film viewer?  I'd guess so, since F3 mode isn't allowed the main arena and that didn't look like the DA.

If you are halfway serious about making movies, learn how to set up shots in the film viewer.  It's a pain sometimes, and takes some time to figure out, but well worth it.  Makes your movies more visually appealing, draws the viewer in and makes them want to see the whole movie.  Also, turn off the icons!

Sort of.  There's a pretty good tutorial video about setting up camera shots.  By staging some basic shots to begin with, you can then start playing with other camera settings like field of view, zoom and pan.  Many times, just using chase view instead of external "F3" view yields decent results.

Not that I'm any uber film maker, but here's my first attempt at an Aces High movie.  You should be able to tell when I used chase view instead of a staged camera setup.
