Title: LCA Motion Picture Unit Presents: "This Kitty Bites Back"
Post by: 96Delta on July 24, 2009, 10:40:26 AM: A nooblet Bishop pilot takes on what he believes will be an easy adversary,
a Curtiss P-40E Kittyhawk of the LCAAF (Loose Cannons Alliance Air Force).
What he doesn't know is that this ain't no scared kitty cat.
This kitty bites back! ;)

I made this movie to try out some new techniques and to learn how
to better use Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8. I was trying to recreate
the feel of a World War II newsreel/training film being played on a 16mm
film projector. I leave it up to you to tell me how it turned out. :pray

I am ready to see more <S>

I agree.
Thats one of the reasons I filmed with the tags on.
I don't think people would have been able to follow
the 109 were it not for the lighter tags.

But hey, still learning! I appreciate all the feedback!

:salute

Post by: bbosen on August 19, 2009, 04:08:53 PM: That was a great film, Delta. I loved it. I always enjoy movies like this, characterized by:

-- Sound effects so I can hear the action
-- Music that relates to the WW2 time period
-- Some kind of logical "flow" (such as a the take-off, and complete engagement that you showed).

The aged film effects contributed to my enjoyment too. A keeper!

Post by: Krusty on August 20, 2009, 11:28:21 AM: I just realized... Doesn't "Kittyhawk" refer to P-40B/C models? Didn't Warhawk start with the P-40E and later?
