Wow! impressive use of ahs limited film viewer, im not even sure how you got the stationary cam to work well so that the plane moves entirely seporate from the camera, seems the one we have doesnt let you zoom in that far, tho its been a while since i played with it. Great ground shots, dynamic pacing, its got a respectfull historical flavor to it, probably due to the music/terrain/planeset that is nice to see in contrast to the usual ffa airplane porn, nice
Well the stationary cam was kinda..... an accident believe it or not.
I wanted to get a low view of the 190 stalling above the town and crashing. When the 190 crashed, I hit rewind, and strangely enough, the camera stuck to the ground, although, I couldn't adjust position of it. The only way to UNSTICK the camera was to switch camera types or stop the clip and start completely back at the beginning...
So I just kept experimenting, and looking for an angle that got a good view of the AA as the 190 went down, then let the 190 crash, which again stuck the camera in the ground, rewound (again, you must REWIND do NOT stop the video), and then went into full screen and captured the stationary camera view you see there.
Sure, it's a hack/abuse of a bug, but it worked =-)
