Downloading it now.
-
Its showing in 3 different colors. Green, Blue, Red, and its not right. I dunno if something happened with the download but i'll re-download it and see what happens.
Re-downloaded, still doing it.

I think the times when it's showing with a red cast is on purpose. It's part of the ambiance.
Great video Kermit!
ps: we can use all the walk-ons we can get on Saturday. Come help the Japanese fighters cut a path through the Allied horde so we can put our bombs on Rangoon! 3pm Eastern/12 Pacific in the Special Events arena. Go Knight and report for duty.

no, no, i"m talking that I can't hardly even see the opening title. Its in a light-green back round, the letters are in a light gray, and surrounding the letters is a red, sorta static looking dots, and they are all around the letters.
I"m sure its a great video Kermit, but I can't even watch it.

Subway, you unziping the file first, before playing the video file inside the compressed folder?
Try using windows media player to watch it. update your windows media player.
It's your end subway. I'd first try to restart your computer. See if that helps.
Thanks Seth! :salute

Ok Kermit, re-downloading, hopefully I can get it to work this time.

Ya Subway...sounds like you need a Windows media update...<S> Kermit, that was VERY well done!
-
Wow Kermit! I haven't ever watched any of your films before, but this introduction and overview about the last frame of Rangoon '42 was amazing. Very nice video effects and musical score. I haven't ever seen a style quite like that, and I loved it! Hopefully I will be able to join up on Saturday.

:aok great work sir :salute

Kermit didn't do any editing.
The actual scenario is that dramatic. Not sure what the allied gaijin see, but it sure is fun for us.
Fly Axis tomorrow!

[THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK!
In the words of a very energetic bomber pilot, "W0000000000000000000000000!"
Thanks to all the Axis pilots and Leaders that succeeded in making this happen.
Thank you Allied pilots, Leaders and CM Staff for making this Senario, a hard earned, hard fought battle.
<S>
Bearkats, I'm sure you did like the part where we died. :lol
I laugh at the part where we are eating our snacks.. funny stuff in the context it's being shown in.
I'll take a look at what I can do for a frame 4 film. It may have a surprise ending...
GREAT SENARIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all the GREAT compliments! There's about a million things I would have polished if I had more time. Never enough. I actually didn't sleep that night, just to make this thing. It was worth the time put into it.
<S> and thanks for watching.

If you have seen the film, there are a few things I have to clear up about some of the propaganda I used.
Japan's Nationally owned train in Manchuria, China, was not attacked by Chinese troops. It was attacked by their own troops, made to look like the Chinese had done it. They lied about it to the League of Nations so they could invade Manchuria on "justified reasons". They did setup a government for Manchuria, but it was a puppet government, which they had full control over.
Once Japan officially left the League of Nations, they held a military exercise on the border of China. In the past, they would notify China of these exercises, but on this one night, they hoped to have "an accident" and get a few Chinese troops to fire upon them. It worked. Despite the pleas from China to seize fire, Japan did not. Japan's reason for a full invasion had come. With massive amounts of troops already on the Mainland in Manchuria, it was an easy invasion.
All of the other information I used was true. I hope to clear that up before you all start to think Japan was too innocent. :) Japan was ruthless, yet were not much different than the rest of the world, when it came to acquiring land. They just happened to attack a L.N. memeber. The U.S. Britain, Denmark, France and other nations had owned most of South east Asia. Japan felt the need to quickly grab the rest before it was too late. Korea was not enough and so the northern part of China was a good place to start. Once they had Manchuria (approx the size of Texas), they wanted China, a country weak and lawless, sought after by many world powers at the time. You may find the situation with Russia and Georgia to be very similiar. :noid
For more information about why Japan went to War, I'd recommend you start reading some books!
