It's not too bad DeeAce. Having your advanced terrain settings on would help it greatly though. Still overall pretty good I think for just starting out.  :salute

Really nice.  You're catching on quick.  The scene starting at 0:45 is nice, but try starting with FOV around 30 and ending with 100 and see what you get.  It's a little too far away, but no need to change the camera position for this one.  Also, don't be afraid to start a shot with camera in one place and end it with the camera somewhere else.  Sometimes even "small" camera movements and FOV changes can dramatically enhance a shot.

Great work, I can tell you put a lot of effort into this! I love the flyby shots!

Guys thanks Tons for the positive feedback, really appreciate it.  I'll try that FOV movements and the detailed terrain for the next film. And Kazaa yes i did. took Alot of hours to get those shots, and the AHFV kept crashing on me to boot.


Thanks again <S>!

There were a couple of shots/angles I really liked, but much of the action was hard to see with the planes taking up only a tiny portion of the center.

One I liked the most was with the furball and the P-38 death animation that just happened to be a very fluid death-barrel-roll into the ground close to the camera. I'd have liked to see the camera positioned such that the impact point was closer to the viewer (just for aesthetic effect).

Yeah now that im aware of how to use the FOV. I can see a huge difference in the shots i'm playing with. Next film will probably be tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback <S>

ACE, you should never set a date when making movies, take your time, let the juices flow!

took Alot of hours to get those shots

Hehehe, I think I worked on ONE shot for almost two hours to get what I wanted.  Can't even remember how long it took to put together the whole 5-minute SpitV video.  This film making thing can be just as addicting as flying in the game.  :D
