Waffle's winning production has been finalized and is about to begin airing on the Military Channel. You can see the finished version here. (http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/AHtvadv4.wmv)
Waffle did a tremendous job and also contributing was Coach who provided the narration. Thanks guys, we're really excited to see this ad air and think it will represent AH very well.

Waffle
Seeing that makes me wanna jump online right now......
Excellent use of the offline drones (that was done offline right ?)
You have a 7800 Nividia correct? Any chance you could post your PC specs, I wanna try and make my AH look that good.....
-
looked great!
-
Wtg!:aok
-
Great job fellas!
How do I start the engine? :D
-
:aok most definitely the best one yet. Is that what Coach sounds like when he's not drinking? ;)
makes me want to tell the boss I'm not feeling good so I can go home a fly:cry
-
fantastic final cut!
I want Coach's voice to narrate my fights on vox. :D
-
Excellent job all who were involved!:aok
-
NICE JOB!

I was going to take a short nap.
Damnit now I have to log on.

Nice job... everytime I see one of these commercials, I feel the almost overwhelming need to buy a TrackIR.

Kick Ace guys... WTG

Great Job Waffle.
Once again, your contributions have added coolness to the game.
-
SWEEEEEETTTTTTTT....wtg Waffle..
-
Wow, that looks really great :aok
Was the video processed with some kind of colour filter? The AH i know doesn't have as nearly as vibrant colours as seen that video :)
Great commercial, had to watch it several times in a row.
-
:O
Way.
To.
Go.
Outstanding!
-
thanks -
No filters - shot offline with different arena settings.

Seriously that thing rocks.

Very nice. The fluid views make it look like a different game altogether. Needs more Il-2s though. :p
-
Great job!!!
Now I'm stuck at work and sporting a woody...errr.. I mean the desire to go home and get online.

I meant to say that the Narration by Coach sounded really professional...
The sort of stuff you see at in a movie trailer
I was just waiting for the line's
"He was a pilot in the virtual sky's"
"She was a house wife"
"Together they are Sky Captain and Wife ACK, Coming soon to a theatre near you"
Nice work Coach
-
Excelent job Gents. Kudos.:aok
-
Cool looking Commercial. Should attract some new customers...
Just a question... "The War Torn Skies of WWII" is not the MA. Just about any thread in this forum that even suggests that AH should simulate WWII gets shot to heck by the "gamers" who say it is NOT a sim of WWII, just air combat.
Also, "Heed your Call to Glory"... what glory is there in AH right now? Milk-running in bombers, vultching a second account? Is that how one gets the "Glory" of being listed on the main page as #1 rank?
The commercial is great, but I think it's selling something that the current version of AH is not.
-
Very Nice, Now there is a commercial that looks exciting and the graphics are displayed very well to compete with todays game systems. Very nice
-
:aok
-
Bah Midnight, it's all about marketing.
Very nice work Waffle and Coach.:aok
-
A
for the work men. Looks nice, :aok
oh...and ladies too if there were any.
-
I like it!:aok
-
wtg
very nice! hope the servers can keep up with the customers it attracts :)
-
Now THAT is a winning commercial
-
Excellent! Now I wanna go fly in something like Daverino's BIG setup.
Thanks, Aces High, for always pushing me to if not edge equipment, more than adequate appartus to enjoy amazing flight and combat simulation.
-
Outstanding :aok :aok
-
Very nice. I'll be looking for it on the Military Channel.
-
I like it; nice job. :-)

Isn't that called bait and switch? ;)

Very Good guys!
Isn't that called bait and switch?
I don't think so, as a matter of fact, I just came back from "The War Torn Skies of WWII" just now. It's called the Friday Squad Ops. There are WW2 special events several times a week, and a full time arena for historical matchups.

I didn't know Coach was a girl.
Oh wai.......
h
(did I say that out loud?)
:) Nice to see ya again, Coach
-
Best parts...bomber losin wingtip...and Heed your call to glory sounds good.
-
agreed filth, best commercial yet... we should have fresh meat in the MA soon! BTW the editor deserves a beer.
-
Good job Waffle and Coach. Overall, far superior than what was around before.
Can I offer some constructive input?
1. The 'www.' in the URL isn't necessary or desirable. I know you know this, but the site gets resolved without the http://www. and it distracts the viewer during the short time it's visible, since they are checking for unusual spellings or hyphens that may differ from the audio one.
2. There's probably about double the copy in the narration than there needs to be, which dilutes the message and competes with the visuals insteads of enhances them. If you show it to someone (who knows nothing about the game) once and ask them what they remembered, they might say URL, "over 70 something..." and "Uhhh, I can't remember..."
Three main points could be emphasized better with greater retention.

Very nice job:aok

i dont like it
B/W scenes does not make this scene looks vintage , just B/W .
Thats kill great look of B24 skin.
P51 gunsight pointing at FW190 does not make logical sense for me after showing formation of bombers and FW190 starting attack.
Looks like lack of idea how to show escort engaging attackers.
Imo scenes should be /need to be in diferent order
External view of P51 B/W roll looks like patch in to whole movie and kill oryginal Waffle ad idea.
I dont like voice over in whole ad, to much information as for so short commercial. Sounds more like ad of carpet store i hear every day in radio while drive to work or one of super weight loss commercial on TV.
Static AH logo at end looks just static, crack on the screen looks nice and have nice timing but AH logo looks flat.
Is not masked right in som areas (i can see not smooth edges)
Please add lens flare, spot light or anything for logo to make it more 3D. Even moving drop shadow will looks betterthen nothing. Not as good as bf109 on oryginal Waffle ad but allways better.
One more, in place where rolling pony fade out screen with AH logo should fade in slower and start a little bit earlier, imo. Now its looks like AH end screen comes from nowhere
just my .02$

Nice work Coach
In real life Coach sounds like a squeaky voiced 12 year old :rofl
Actually, Coach has done a LOT of voice-over work. Not to mention a professional singer.

Hey Rolex
Although I see you point about the www I think removing it would cause more problems than its worth......
With the novice user making things simpler usually makes it more complicated......
-
Looked OK, but not much there to grab the attention.
-
All i can says is it blows the old Commerical AWAY, Made me get a woody from hell :O
-
was just wondering if anyone was going to make a comercial showing the true main areana????
with vulching alt monkey hords of gang banging HO dweebs, this way people know the true product :D
-
does anyone else notice the tint of the commercial, would be kinda neat to actually have that in AH to depict somewhat nasty weather.
