Title: [Movie] Dogfight immersion!
Post by: lengro on June 02, 2008, 01:21:18 PM

It's actually my first movie redone - I was not completely happy with the first outcome.

The goal of the movie was to create the hectic, tense atmosphere in a cockpit during a dogfight - and for immersion I wanted to remove any obvious signs of flightsim. So it was recorded without icons, and textbuffer was removed from footage.

Also, I had to record with FRAPS online to get moving ailerons and all instruments active (control surfaces - except flaps, doesn't move in filmviewer).


* shortened to about 2 minutes making sequences more dynamic, and there is now heavy use of pan/crop/zoom

* added several sound layers for voice, guns and engines (engine sound ripped from real world Bf109 footage) - first version had only music.

* film filters for old grainy looks, Youtube automatically adds blurry effect! :)


Turn up the volume and watch it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsg9X9IsYFY) at Youtube   :salute

Cool music and nice camera angles.  Starring into the sun a few times was a great touch.  Almost felt mesmerizing.

That fight looked like a lot of fun to be in.

Those were blanks they were shooting right?

Nope, bovi doesn't have the looks to star in a film production  :t
It was flown by Tele, a great guy from Germany which I have had countless of excellent duels with, <S> Tele.
