AH3 Open Melee Arena DRAFT
« on: March 07, 2025, 11:12:05 AM »
THIS JUST A 48 HR DRAFT AND IS UNLISTED

Opening 15 secs IS debatable and not really sold.

3:11, longer than last 2-3

For whatever reason I made a decision to not narrate through the whole vid.
There is plenty of room if players think something needs to be added to narration.

ALSO, I bought a new 32" HD monitor and instantly noticed my vids are just not for large screens as far as graphic perfection.
Until recently they were in 1080 res, this one is 2560, but 1080 res.

After this vid my vids will be in a higher resolution since I'm my screen captures of FV will be higher res.

Any input is welcomed, good or bad.

I like it. Only negative I saw was the video seemed a little on the dark side for me. Maybe my eyes. :salute

It's not your eyes. I had a problem with dark on the desktop editing, then light when finished MP4.
I'll brighten it up. I was hoping someone noticed something like that. thanks

The head on collisions could be replaced with better scenes/camera placement and the B26's horrendous nose pitches skipped. Other than those top tier :old:

I had some real good shots I could not fit into the music and timeline.  :(
Trying my best not to pass 3min.

I question that myself. I wanted that burst in there, but you're prolly right. I have 9 different angles of that scene. The shot itself may not be important enough.
After you mentioned it, ya, those B-26 engines from the rear really do grab a bit too much.

Keep the comments/ideas coming and let it evolve.

Just FYI,
I changed
brightness from .50 to .100
Contrast from .75 to .120
Problem WAS, I had a video card doing one thing in editing, and the restrained monitor doing another in captures, topped with going from AVI to MP3 seemed to have had it's own change. So that info was vital. Currently I'm 2560 using HDR Dynamic across the board, you won't see that in this video on a large screen.

B-26 scenes audio an even cut of 6db. Mere slight ambiance.

I'll change the angle of the 51/F4U rear collision, and change out the 38/F6 collision to a different interior kill shot...when I find it.

A shot of the M4A3 firing its rockets might be cool.

I tried to find it. Not sure if its in that time span of film. I'll try to find it.

Edit: Frankly, after seeing the graphics I have now, and what I can capture, I'd like to delete all those other vids, but won't. Can only imagine what VR looks like.

Nice Animl-AW !

I would redo the pt boat scene making it shorter and back in the video, not at the front...it doesn't impress imo..no wake, strange torpedo looking action..maybe a quick shot of one dropping one torpedo and a close up as it hits a cv

The bomber pilots should be removed too imo .. goofy looking   :old:

Great stuff really..it could be used as a commercial imo

Thanks for trying to promote our game

Well done as always.  Makes me want to fly right now!

Also, yeah, the PT scene could use some love from the sound editing dept.    :rock

Meh!

I've got a lot of these shots saved using "Set up camera shots" (.ahs files).
I'm going to re-do as many as possible, because the HDR color and higher res is that much better to be worth it. It will be much cleaner, me thinks. I want it clean even on big screen. The past doesn't cut it.

SO it's a good thing I posted draft and know what to 86. It also might get me under 3 min.
PT, B-26 pilots are gone.

If anyone has a film of AC launching a torp in the MA that could be handy. I don't want  anything staged.

Why not staged?

Short clips, who could tell and you have what you are looking for..

Thanks again for your time and effort!
