Hey guys, after the comments I received with my first video I thought i'd try and improve.
I appreciate all the comments.
check it out http://www.youtube.com/user/deemanffxi?feature=mhw5#p/a
please let me know what you think! Thanks for watching

It's not too bad DeeAce. Having your advanced terrain settings on would help it greatly though. Still overall pretty good I think for just starting out. :salute

Really nice. You're catching on quick. The scene starting at 0:45 is nice, but try starting with FOV around 30 and ending with 100 and see what you get. It's a little too far away, but no need to change the camera position for this one. Also, don't be afraid to start a shot with camera in one place and end it with the camera somewhere else. Sometimes even "small" camera movements and FOV changes can dramatically enhance a shot.
:aok

Great work, I can tell you put a lot of effort into this! I love the flyby shots!
-
Guys thanks Tons for the positive feedback, really appreciate it. I'll try that FOV movements and the detailed terrain for the next film. And Kazaa yes i did. took Alot of hours to get those shots, and the AHFV kept crashing on me to boot.
Thanks again <S>!
-
LOL you guys keep motivating me, just messed around with some of the FOV with the Detailed terrain and.......................... ..
I'll probably have a new film out tonight :O
<S> please if you have any other tips or pointers would be more then glad to hear em! :salute

There were a couple of shots/angles I really liked, but much of the action was hard to see with the planes taking up only a tiny portion of the center.
One I liked the most was with the furball and the P-38 death animation that just happened to be a very fluid death-barrel-roll into the ground close to the camera. I'd have liked to see the camera positioned such that the impact point was closer to the viewer (just for aesthetic effect).
-
Yeah now that im aware of how to use the FOV. I can see a huge difference in the shots i'm playing with. Next film will probably be tomorrow.
Thanks for the feedback <S>
-
ACE, you should never set a date when making movies, take your time, let the juices flow!
-
took Alot of hours to get those shots
Hehehe, I think I worked on ONE shot for almost two hours to get what I wanted. Can't even remember how long it took to put together the whole 5-minute SpitV video. This film making thing can be just as addicting as flying in the game. :D
-
Enjoying your movies Deeace <S>

Pretty bad arse!
-
very nice! :aok

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I'm working on a new one, but i have come to a wall with a certain problem.

Thanks DEEMAN

I enjoyed the video up until you killed the 109 =\
-
the B24 under the hangar fly by, and the pony parking in the indestructible were just awesome ! unfortunately the water in low detail is just ugly.
Very very nice video deeace! keep them coming!
-
hay if you see me get me in a video just for fun lol :D .love it and it's cool how you put your squad name the tittle :aok
-

It still has the problem of the subject (the plane) being a tiny mote in the center of a blue sky. Even if you're not getting fancy with the camera setup, you still need to actually show what you're trying to show.
Take a sampling of random frames from the video, and ask yourself "If this were a screenshot, by itself, would I like it?" <-- just as an exercise.

Well I did what i could with the FOV, but most shots start at 5 or 10 FOV and end at 50-90 depending how close they come to the camera. Not sure how i could set up the flybys to have the plane take up a good 75% of the frame for the whole shot.
If you have an example shot you could show me, would be tremendously helpful.
Thanks for your feedback

When in F3 mode just use the [ and ] keys to move your FOC or camera position (I forget which it is). Just like in-game.
-
You may need to break your shot into smaller "sub-shots" and put them together in post production. The film viewer has its limitations, and it's easy to try to do too much within a single sequence. I'm guilty of it too. There were a couple of shots in my SpitV movie that started too far away based on how I wanted the flyby to look.
-
how do you get the flyby shots?
