Title: One Summer's Day
Post by: Wraith_TMS on August 10, 2009, 12:40:38 PM

I normally don't announce on the boards when I make an AHII video, but my son, and a couple of my squaddies, suggested that I share the link for this one on the forum.  For lack of a better title, I called it, "One Summer's Day: An Aces High II Story"  It's on Youtube here:

A better description/explanation for this machinima is in a blog post on our site, here:

I believe that this is the best (or at least the most elaborate) that I've done so far.

FWIW,

Gotta give a little cc --  Overall was a good job.   :aok

The quality was a bit low, I watched the HD version, but still saw lots of jaggies. Perhaps Bump up your AA in your Vid card settings before filming, that should help lots. (Maybe it's just youtube though)

The Music was great, nice pieces used. The Vox was something I really think makes it more real, nice job.

I didn't really follow what was going on for the first few minutes, and lost interest quickly.  Perhaps some narration would be helpful in keeping the viewer encapsulated with the film.

When making a movie-like AH film, be sure to turn off Icons; Just makes it a little more real.

You had some great film shots/angles. Little on the long side, IMO... Nice job Wraith, and thanks for sharing with the community.
