Ahhhhh I was really really going to like this, but then I realized you were showing too much music video and not enough Top Gun nor Aces High footage.  The blended scenes were really cool, but its like you didn't have enough content, or had entirely different goals than typical for a video on these forums.  Glad to see the corruption issue didn't rear its head.  And I liked the credits.

Always welcome of your critique BoilerDown  :salute

Your right, my aim/goal was a total change from typical vids, rather than a regular same ol' same AcesHigh compilation, I tried to make AcesHigh a music video  :)

I knew that footage balance was always going to be tricky. This is my first film to get rated with dislikes, and I suppose I will have to alter my approach slightly in future.

Good video, I like how you overlayed the view from a tank gunner's possition (they greyed out circle) onto the video, to create a boresight effect.

However, I think the subject matter is rather poor. I really don't understand why you don't just join the squad, as you seem to be one of their main champions on the forums, and are now making videos for them.


And I thought they would fly only US aircraft. What with all the 262's, it puts you in mind of some of the luftwaffe squads.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Nice.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Nice vid.
Whose one you wanna lick with this?

Edit: a squad wont be awesome by upping 4 jets and picking afk 109s (4:00). Yes, its me saying, the 2-6-tard.
I would rather put on some footage about RedBull dueling with me and winning. Couse thats skill.
Dolby: BabyBone's Midway?

Fact: You're a good pilot
Fact: Dude puts effort into a nice video
Fact: You come into his thread, and start again w/your personal insults (as usual)
Fact: I have lost a lot of respect for AoM b/c of you
Fact: You are an ...
Fact: I squelch you everytime I am on AH
Fact: If I knew how to BBS squelch you I would

Dolby: Awesome video man, I agree that the content could have been enhanced w/more footage but this is your video and the effort you put into it is evident--nice job.

 Listen, honestly I liked the game footage but I just couldnt go to the end but in MY case it is personal:

 I hate that music and that movie just so bad I couldnt stand it  :frown:

 So I was NOT one of the people there who pressed the dislike button because it is just not a fair thing to dislike just because it is not "my thing", anyway I noticed that the angles and the edition fit nicely even if I did not watch the full video so I see no reason for the "dislikes" by anyone...

 If people are surprized by the content... guys, people in the community make squad promotional videos all the time.
