Nice font for opening Title, good quote, good timing of fades. What program did you do the "year of damned" opener in? Looks like After EFX. The B&W, old movie, slo mo, filters and EFX of the P-51 was terrific. Made better by the timing of the fades and slo mo to the music. From there you went into more titling, everything was great.
You broke up your groov with your sequence of the squad members. I didnt like the look, thought it conflicted with what preceded and followed, didnt like the font, didnt like the glare. Titling is supposed to inform the watcher not actually be a part of the production. Ever wonder why nobody ever sits around watching titling at the end of a DVD?
From there the action got really strong. I love watching crossing shots, think the La-La's are great video machines, and really liked the speed of the action you used in your NLE. Nice 190 slaughter scene and loved the power off and hang maneuver. Of course all know the entire thing would have looked better with no chat or icons but who in hell knows at the time what you are recording will end up in a video? Thing is you dont.
Actually a pretty dang good training video for flying 190s. I'd have liked to have seen more Old movie filter and B&W. I thought the music was outstanding. All in all a very good effort. Its been years since Ive cut in Premiere. Ive heard its really come back strong. I started DV back at the beginning and did a lot of short work in old versions of Premiere. Vegas is all I have left but I bet I havnt opened it in a year and its like vers. 10. I remember when it was a sound only editor.
Believe me when I say I know how hard it is to sync a video up to a song. When I was doing weddings a opening song alone could take me a day. I liked your video a whole lot and I think it will be a good memory for you.
