Untapped player resources (possibly)

[1stpar3]

I'm working on starting a YouTube channel for AHIII in VR. Just currently swamped with work and life responsibilities. But I'd love to amp up the outreach for AH to a new player base. Making fun videos with lots of shenanigans and ridiculous missions. As well as highlighting the fun in this arcade-light/not-quite-sim/but-pretty-authentic flight sim experience.

To that end, does anyone have experience with video graphics and overlays that I could develop for the intro and outro sections? And anyone have experience with music and effects to lay in? I look toward the YouTubers such as PrestonPlays and Mr. Beast Gaming, and DanTDM...all characters that my kids watch on their channels, and they have lots of fantastical and exciting effects in their videos. That's what we need!

HMMM? I believe I know, yur feller   DM    BTPAGE...ULtactus these days...also Congrexes Prime, for his Youtube channel name. I might be biased though lol  However, He didnt like his VR films'.  Cant remember if it was his Capture Card, or the "Shakiness" of his head head, in the films?  Play one of your VR recordings and we have a "Use Recorded Views", and see if you have better Neck Muscles?   Everything else...he's your Feller

I made this one using a template from www.renderforest.com.   You supply your own graphic images, and you can choose music they provide or provide your own I think.  They have a ton of templates to experiment with; everything is free at low resolution with watermarks included.  To export in 1080p or remove watermarks, its costs $20 I think.  But you can try a lot of different ideas out with the templates they provide.   Wish I could build a preview of the video into this post, unfortunately you just have to follow the link to watch the clip:

It's simple for the POTW. More players and we would return.

If everyone who says they would come back if there were more people came back, there would be more people.

Coming back to come back in back of coming back is coming back in style.

Self-unfulfilling prophesy?

Yes I love the VR appearance in Film Viewer. It works great. And I use OBS Studio for screen capture of the fights. I've made a couple videos on my channel (in sig), and need to spice them up. Plus I need to edit with a lot more fun content. I'm looking at getting some equipment (ring light, etc.) to be able to track my head movements in VR during the fights.

That was awesome. I totally want to use that.

I may get involved in this. I have a few girls in mind for my ground crew.

AGREE!  I to this day, cant understand, why Tactus doesnt record..in VR?  Is what it is...Didnt "Hook Him UP" for Youtube Views, any how!Of LATE...He hasnt been Recording...because he was in VR.  GD, I love that Feller!  You others, as well!

why not see if previous players might be attracted back.

I'd like to think that a demographic of new gamers would be interested in a WWII flight sim of this quality.  The challenge is finding where they are and marketing to those mediums.  Dale is that something you are or will be pursuing? 

Thanks,

The new HBO series about the 8th air force is bound to draw some players back in I would imagine. I’m not sure when that’ll be around though.

Apple TV now owns the rights to it.  I check on that series, ("Masters of the Air"?), often.  Supposedly it is set to release in 2022.

Yeah this is looking really interesting. I saw a site talking about how they film with the scale models suspended in the air from the runway by cranes in England where they're filming. Then digital spinning props added later :-)

You're welcome to use it!

Thanks, Oboe!

To start cutting stuff up you'll need a video editing software of some sort. I use Vegas Pro, other options are Adobe Premier or Power Director. I've never used the built in Video Editor in Windows 10.

I agree that the film viewer VR product is superb. Hoping to do an all VR film soon once I fully jump into using VR.
