I’m creating another AH3 fan video.
The first was just a practice run to get in tune with the tools and mindset of flow. I’d call any video an “Ad”, but this will be different then most. It’s not out to be the best, just different, more like a movie format. Ads are usually 15-60 seconds long, restricted by air-time in TV time slots. On the internet time is basically almost limitless. So far this current one will be about 5-7 minutes long, the length of 1-2 songs. Hopefully the content will be good enough to keep the immersion attention that long.
I’m looking for specific Aces High 3 films using VR and in .ahf format only. YouTube (.mp4) videos are compressed into quality decay, and too much work to achieve what I want to do, I won’t even waste time with them, my apologies in advance.
_____
Evidently I need to say this;
The .ahf files will also provide AH game names that could appear in credits. It’s not a commercial, it’s a free movie, credits and logos could apply in the end product. It’s a product of the AH community. Therefore, if temporarily posted for community input without credits it’s not a finished product. Anything can change.
There is absolutely zero money involved in any form to anyone involved, except my own expense for the editing tools. It’s free video in all other aspects.
I cannot make any promise whose or which files will be used for clips in the end product. Unless I want to open a personal can of financial worms, I choose not to accept any money or trade. It will be free to use.
If anything beyond listed in credits in the video are required the files will not be used. This is strictly on a donation basis.
Squad logos may, or may not be used.
_____
By trade I’m an audio/live sound engineer of 43 years, video is not #1 in my skillset. However, learning the video part gives me a product to create and apply a sound track. If ya squint your eyes just right, you’ll get it. I’m not out to be “anyone”, nor the best of anything, it just provides me something to do in my free time. I like building/creating things.
I already have 90% of the material, a better scene could change that. I don’t need a lot of files, I need to fill a few specific slots. If you’d like to donate a great scene in VR and in .ahf format it would be appreciated.
Please post them in this thread.
This is HD, so 1080, 1980 x 1080 resolution with good lighting would be helpful.
.ahf format videos I’m looking for;
Scenario formations
Large Furballs
Tanks Wars
P-38
Corsair
Thanks in advance.

I’ll post a few when I get home

Can't help with P38 or hog
Let me know if you need 109 films

Sure. I don't have much flying time in either to make a decent vid.

I’d second this, any of mine that I’ve posted in this linked thread are fair game.

I have dozens… how do I post them to share?
Have some really nice clips from this last FSO frame.
-
VR only, or non-VR as well?
-
VR only, or non-VR as well?
I'll look at both. A great scene is still a great scene, VR is just smoother cockpit views, IMO.

:banana:
These should all be VR or track IR

Can anyone tell me how to upload my .ahf files? Do I need to put them in a Dropbox or something first?

Attachments and other options
Click that when you are replying here and you can search attach then upload the film file

Also films cant be put in PM's. Has tobe here.
-
I don't use VR..... yet, but I know someone that flies 38s.
:rofl
-
I don't have VR or TrackIR unfortunately, but I do have some films that fit your criteria.
In order:
-First air to air clash of the Battle of Paris scenario, I was leading JG2 in our 109G-6s, tangling with P-38s mainly, some P-51s. Lots of radio comms.
-A slightly messy attempt at a formation takeoff and climbout for JG2
-Exactly what the title sounds like, this was back during Operation Husky, I fly a Spit 9 into 8 Kraut fighters and run for my life, they eventually get me
-Not a scenario, but an impromptu wingman session I flew with Eagler in 109K-4s, bagged some kills and made it home safe, with pretty decent formation flying, considering no voice comms.
-
And a few more:
-Risky NOE strike in a heavy P-38, skimming the waves and beaches all the way to the target, then hitting dar and town through heavy flak
-My P-40N going into a pretty decent MA furball against late war super planes, doing surprisingly well
-Two Mossies making a river run for an NOE raid
-Extremely desperate Spit 16 defense against vulchers, ran through hangars with one elevator to try and shake a Ki-84, full engine idle forced overshoot, extreeeeeemely close fighting with the Ki-84
-
Nice, Tig! :aok

Hey I have great P38 encounters with 109s when I did a scenario few years ago. I'll post the youtube link below So you can check it out yourself. If you need the actual files of these let me know ASAP...PM me

If you have the .ahf files that would be much better. A pre-recroded video, aside from YouTube degrading, I only get the view I am given, .ahf gives me almost infinite options of exterior camera angles, among other things, like clarity.
-
1st: Epic base save at last second with a great 2v1 dogfight that I win
2nd: A decent sized fight over an enemy town, mix of rocket attacks and a forced overshoot to shoot up the chaser
3rd: A well placed shot that ends with a flamed attacker
4th: Just shooting up two attackers.
-
1st: standard shootdown of a 190 flying through base ack
2nd: Defending a town a low alt, finding the m3, bombing him, then finishing off the mossie
3rd: killing a KI-84, attacking a flight of 24s, and then killing a 190.
-
Quick clip of me flying a P38 over our swarm of B24's in the FSO last week. No action but would be a good set up shot.
The other one is just for fun. Tried landing a broken Lanc on a cv but my angle was off and I still almost made it lol. Watch in chase view! :lol
Working on some more.
-
This is an FW190 taking out the radar and ammo bunkers.
There is a Top Gun moment at the end of this one. As I was finishing the last bunker a 109 was diving on me so I slammed on the brakes. Sure enough he went zooming right past me and as I was coming around to shoot him a P38 snuck in from behind and took me out in a flash. :joystick:

Eagler
Ya I could use some 109 films.
Could also use some exterior ship films, at least with big guns firing close-up. For some reason the film viewer crashes when I load ship films, UNLESS I'm in a plane on the ship....which is odd.
Tank wars would be great too.

Here is one of my Lancs dumping a CV. :rock

Oldman fights are rarely worth watching, but this fight with BTSolar's 205 and my 202 has some pretty good swirly action starting around the 14 minute mark.

I think I have more then enough planes and dogfighting films now. After saving select clips from the films I have 240G of .avi files.
The idea is to cram every aspect of the game into one 7 min (max) film that follows a loose storyboard set to soundtrack. That's not easy. So many great pilots and clips to choose from, kinda made it harder. :)
I'd really love it if I could acquire some multi-plane take offs from an aircraft carrier. Nothing has to be aimed, record just has to be on.
And some tank wars with a couple recording the same event. Finding the time to make them myself is really hard in this heavy work $eason.
Other then that, getting angles and piecing it together will take a while. My apologies if I didn't fit clips from every donator. If it goes over well I may make another out of the same batch.
Thanks for helping, there will be credits.

If there are any other volunteers, I would be happy to hop on the training arena or something and film a group CV takeoff sometime, just tell me who else will join me. I will warn you though, in my experience films with CVs are pretty wack, where it looks like the plane hooks on thin air 800 yards away from the boat, or sometimes on the MA someone will hook on the same carrier I'm on, again way off in thin air.
Just a warning, but I am more than willing to fly in a choreographed flight.
Also Animl, let me know if you want aerobatics or tricks, I'll see what I can do, I can do some funky stuff with a 262 at low speed and I can fly comfortably below treetop level, just lemme know what you want. :aok

Thanks,
The angle I'm going for is just going to be a lower front or upper tip of the ship shot with the AC just streaming off a few seconds apart, to avoid view of spawn or layered AC. 2-5 planes would be great. maybe matching hogs, I already have a F6 shot. I'm only going to use about 5-10 seconds of it. I hope latency or bkg processes isn't an issue. That's a problem I'm having with great shots gone bad. A zitter and it goes in the trash. It cut shorten the Paris scenario buff formation, which was otherwise killer.
I just need some ship and ground vehicles/tanks.
Maybe in the future, time permitting, do an ACM video.
We'll see how this one turns out.
