Nice film! :aok

... but you had a typo in the first sentence. It should be Goering's Luftwaffe (or Göring), not Georing. ;)

But yes, it looked like fun was had in the AvA arena, I'll have to check what's going on in there next saturday (and even before that). :D

ty. i originally had a great one, with a few minutes of historical footage, but it all went spasticated, and the file went corrupt. could reload the movie maker file either, so had to start again :(

morph is doing one too, which im sure is going to be great

Nice film! The photographs in the beginning of the film add a nice historic feeling.

I especially liked the scene where you were diving on the Junkers formation from high above.

Great job Poof!

You told an excellent 'story' there. I especially loved the way the music changed to 'dangerous' when you showed the Hurris!!


IMHO this is definitly worthy to be linked in 'films' section of HTC homepage.

Dear Mr. "Pooface",

As a duly appointed official representative of MGM Home Entertainment, I must insist that you immediately cease and desist in this flagrant abuse of international copyright aggreements.
As you are most likely aware, MGM has alrady released a movie called "Battle of Britain", made in 1969 and starring Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier, etc.
You may consider this your first and only warning - further showing of this film without the payment of the royalties to which we are legally entitled will result in damages being sought in an international claims court.  Criminal copyright infringement is investigateble by the FBI, and may constitue a felony with a maximum penalty of five (5) years in prison.

Thank you very much for your kind attention to this matter,

John "SKJOHN" Goldwyn-Meyer
CEO - Int'l Division
MGM Home Entertainment
2500 E. Broadway,
Santa Monica California, 90404-3061
























Just kidding! Great Movie!:D

i know, but i couldn't get any decent footage of LW kills. all i had was RAF fighters and german bombers :(

well, i need to change that typo anyways, and i want to add a few pics as churchill makes the closing speech, so i guess while i do that i could add some german footage, if anyone got it on film

Post by: Pooface on January 25, 2006, 05:39:33 PM
need 109's and 110's shooting down spit1's and hurri's
Title: Movie: Battle of Britain
Post by: Panzzer on January 25, 2006, 05:50:01 PM
Ow.. the setup has already changed, no more 110's and now there are Hurri2C's and SpitVb's as well as 109F's available from the rear fields...

I'll have to ask if any of the Finns has any fighter action filmed from saturday (and I'll have to check my own films as well). How soon would you need those clips for your new version?

Wtg Poo!   Iwas in that intercept somewhere :) But I had my ground detail maxed from bombing earlier, and I had a slide show going on as I passed thru the formation.

That was a GREAT video!  The music, the transitions, all of it was a great watch!

NICE JOB!

Excellent movie.

Only suggest 1 improvement -
Final scene should be Spit doing a victory roll over the airfield :) .

Great effort!  Was a pleasure watching the film.  I can see Robert Shaw in the cockpit of his spitfire now !

I have the movie on DVD it's great seeing original aircraft used in film making.

Great film pooface! That film captures one of the finest hours in AH :) :aok

Some criticism also :) Those fade in/outs were pretty heavy, you could remove some of them, especially from the short firing clips.
Title: Movie: Battle of Britain
Post by: Xjazz on January 26, 2006, 04:48:59 AM
WOW! Very nice film :aok

but

Like Have said, little bit too much those short clips in/out fades.

BTW I never seen such perfect  buff formation before :O

They gotta add the he-111 eventually.
Would make a hell of a commercial if you could get enough guys together and stage a re-enactment.

Will we ever see skins in the movie viewer?

I haven't gotten around to asking the rest of the Finns if they had any clips.. But watched through 2-3 hours of my own films (from this last week in the AvA), the best parts were the bomber raids, not much fighter action in the clips I had filmed - sorry!
