I'm curious how AH2 will look

Post by: gofaster on July 11, 2003, 08:19:28 AM: Wow! :eek:

Excellent camera work! I like the sequences and how you strung them together. Very well done!
Title: Not bad at all!
Post by: Syzygyone on July 11, 2003, 08:31:30 AM: Pretty cool dude!
What's your connection with the person to whom the film was dedicated?

Post by: Wanker on July 11, 2003, 08:46:02 AM: Very nice, BBGunn.

My, how Warbirds has changed since I left in 2000. Too bad it's still being managed by an incompetent company with an egomaniac as CEO.

Long live Warbirds v1.11r2!

LOL! Now that statement brings back some trips down memory lane. If I remember correctly, Lazs was the one that started the whole "six view" debate, way back in 1997 or so.

"Memories, light the corners of my mind.....doo-bee-doo-bee-doooooooo-beee, of the way we were."

Post by: BB Gun on July 11, 2003, 11:01:20 AM: Thanks guys.
Took me a while to get it done, there are a couple minor things I don't like about it, but was tired of listening to song segments over and over and over again. :)

Syzygyone,

George Preddy was the highest scoring P-51 Ace of WWII - http://www.352ndfightegroup.com and http://www.preddy-foundation.org/ for more info.

Our WB (and AH/WWIIOL/Target Rabaul) squad have an association with the Real Life 352nd Fighter Group Association, and this was just one inspired idea I had a few months ago to offer them a little tribute.

If that was you're first one, can't wait to see the ones after you get some 'sperience.

Post by: Arfann on July 11, 2003, 01:56:03 PM: Wow! Can you imagine if someone actually incorporated those graphics into a usable multiple player flight sim????

Naw . . . . . Neither can I.

Post by: AKWeav on July 11, 2003, 11:44:26 PM: As someone who has put some effort into creating some flight simulation movies, I gotta give ya a big thumbs up on your production!

~~Could you let us know what program you used to capture/compress and produce the movie? I'm curious as it has a remarkably small file size as compared to the lenght.~~

Post by: SaburoS on July 12, 2003, 12:08:41 AM: Wow! Absolutely awesome!
Thanks for sharing your hard work.

Post by: BB Gun on July 12, 2003, 01:50:49 AM: AKweav,

Thanks! As far as how I did it....

I recorded the sequences on my Mini-DV connected to the video out port of my vid card. Then, I disconnected the s-video cable and hooked up the firewire to feed it back into the computer.

I took about 2.5-3 hours of tape, and have about 1.5 hours of galleys on my system, picking the sequences out of those galleys.

All I used was Windows Movie Maker version 2.0.3312.

Simple, but time consuming. I had a good time, gonna take a few months off, but I do want to do it again. :)

What's your connection with the person to whom the film was dedicated?

He knows who Preddy is, he's just asking if BBGun has any relation to him. 2 Demerits to you for failure to read properly.

Post by: Chaos68 on July 12, 2003, 04:29:50 AM: wow just amazing!

Best part of that movie is that i didnt see ONE la7!

Post by: Saurdaukar on July 12, 2003, 09:35:44 AM: Wow - that was great. I hate that fediddleing song, but somehow the video made it acceptable. ;)

WBIII or not - fantastic work.

Crossing fingers that some of what I saw in that movie makes it into AH2....

Post by: Vector on July 12, 2003, 02:35:55 PM: Incredible movie, very well done.
Those little explosions in the fighters when hit looked just like a real gun cam footage. I'm impressed.

Post by: Hortlund on July 12, 2003, 03:57:19 PM: So why am I only getting audio and no video when I try to watch that one?
Title: Don't flame me!
Post by: -ammo- on July 12, 2003, 04:02:00 PM: You need the correct codec. Try using WMP and it will find and install the correct codec for you.

Post by: Swager on July 12, 2003, 08:16:27 PM: IMpressive! The last flying scene I noticed the P-51 got hit! Then I remembered the fate of Peddy. Nice touch to the tragic ending of one of the best.

Did the 352nd vetrans have access to this?

ONce again, nicely done!!

Post by: baders on July 13, 2003, 03:58:09 AM: Beautiful work BB. Reminds me of Brendos' WBs 2XX movies. This stuff transcends whatever game you might enjoy.
