I thought the added sound, richer colour and above all else great flying was fantastic. Some brutal shots also!

Great work Bat, I bet that took you whie to edit.

Post by: mechanic on April 16, 2009, 02:17:33 AM: thanks for watching Kaz, it did take some time, about 20 hours of capture and editing in total i rekon. I still feel like I'm only breaching the surface of the 'camera setup' option of the film viewer.

The fight in the middle with the LA was some marvellous editing, I almost reached for my joystick a couple of times! :rock

Bomber flying doesn't get better than this :P

Good stuff mate,

It's this type of footage that makes you want to fly the plane the footage is about. Nice job! :aok

I think the hardest thing to do is show a long section of ACMs in one shot without sacrificing the maximum zoom details. Quite a few of the long shots are made by editing 3 or 4 shots together, spending an hour just trying to make two shots join seemlessly as one was a learning experience.

Would have picked different music myself, but still great!

Post by: mike254 on April 22, 2009, 10:57:14 PM: Wow, that was amazing! :O I've always wanted to make a movie half as good as that. One of the best AH videos I have seen. :rock What are you using to edit/record?

Post by: mechanic on April 23, 2009, 11:36:54 AM: TY I only flew, shot and edited things. The old girl just steals the show with her grace and power :D Strokes im using Mitsu's sounds, but stole some aircraft noise from some old mossy and spit films. Daddog, I agree it is not a great choice. I found the old tune, remembered the first time i loaded red alert onto Windows 97 and watched the intro....classic... based the visuals around it as the project's first idea! Somethign along the lines of classic opera would be more fitting but change the theme of destruction to all other fighters by a FIGHTER (chewie).

Some crazy unbelievable realism this flight sim is and your video captures that! I'm new to the community. Video and audio completely blow me away.

Move over flight simulator :)

Post by: mechanic on April 28, 2009, 08:20:30 PM: Thank you BB, I agree completely about the 'feel' of flight being recreated so well in aces high. Of course no credit to me, the beautifull aircraft and realistic look of the flight model is down to the creators. Welcome to the game, if you want to shoot down a mosquito my ingame ID: batfinkv

Title: Re: Hellmarch
Post by: mechanic on April 29, 2009, 11:49:25 AM: Too kind! Thanks. :)

edit: Mike im sorry i missed you. I used fraps to capture at 1/4speed in the film viewer and an older version of sony vegas to edit. Almost the whole film was shot using the miximum field of view zoom and tricky camera possitions, which i think gives the feel of flight effect.

S!

edit2:thank you motley! :D and thank you anyone for watching from here on.
