Thanks FLS that seems like sound advice. <S>
If you think about what you'd like to see and draw it in a story board that will help you organize a coherent story and plan camera shots. A story board is like a comic book that tells the story in the video. Then you just need to find those scenes in AH film and make a short clip with the shot you want. Then paste the clips together to make the video. Then watch it a few times and do a final edit if it needs one, then add titles etc.
My videos aren't done like that because I want to show the energy gain and loss and the fact that the airshow videos are not a collection of lucky outcomes, it's one flight showing off the flight model, usually takeoff to landing.
