Some LW style gun camera footage fading into colour as a bomber starts taking hits would be a nice start to a film.  You guys can have that one for free, i'm sure i'm not the only one to think of that.;)

my start is a drum line of some sort (like snare rolls with some bass drums) start fading into the AHII logo, then the logo exploding into some footage of a 190 shooting down a p51....


that's all i'll say of mine ; )

I've got a Yamaha Motif ES7 if you'd like to colaborate on the music.. That goes for anyone that wants to write their own.

If someone has some great footage, that's the biggest part.  

I have 23 years broadcast experience, as well as a best friend who is an imaging director in Philly.

I can write & voice the copy, and he can make all the audio smoke.

Any takers?

Entry Tips

...

Don’t try to edit your films together in the film editor and then export them to .AVI. Export from your different films separately and then edit the various sequences together using editng software.


I am curious why this last tip was in there.  I would think it would not matter.  Anyone technical enough to know why?

Why would anyone have to pay royalties for HiTech to use their music? Besides it even says in the rules that HiTech will own the material once it is used. I just think it would be cool to be involved with an original peice of music that's on TV for a game I love.

he's talking about using someone else's music, like using metallica's "the 4 horsemen" or something

if you dont go thru the artist/ owner of the  music you cant use it ...

there a fine line you can walk though if you know how.

How about you open up with No Doubt's "Just A Girl" and show the average day in the MA.  People going out of their way to HO, jump in on 5 v 1's, vulch, and just about everything else that people tend to complain about.

THEN you cut to a person sitting in a chair, who asks "CAN this get any gayer?"

AT WHICH POINT Aqua's "Candyman" starts blasting and the footage continues!

What'dya all think? :cool:

(This is NOT directed against anyone in this thread I just feel like being a putz :p  )

Please don't show Lancs anc B-17's divebombing GV's.  Let people get into the game and find out for themselves.  

I notice AH says, "Our current television campaign is targeted towards people with an interest in military history. "

On the other hand AH runs away from anything historical.  

Let's hear it again.  "ITS A GAME"

Really?

Maybe your small little pea of a brain hasn't gathered the fact that they have been working on ToD for god knows how long so you can have your historically correct game.

But i know guys like you... They always look at the glass being half empty.

HT wants to show the historical aspect of the game. A simple request.

He's calling the shots, it's his money.

This is a commercial that will be used to sell a product to dweebs like us.

He knows who he wants to target with this add.

How that relates to how we play the game is irrelevant.

Skuzzy should set up a temporary forum just for posting the movies. Instead of searching for every single one.
