Visually it's very very nice. I like a lot of those angles and the quickness of them.
I don't feel it has the spirit that "Gunfighters" had though. Just being honest.  :salute

 :eek: VERY AWESOME! Beauty of camera angles! You guys sure know how to watch each others backs  :aok Truely one of the best videos I've seen.

Does Evanescence only have one good song? That's the only one from them I ever hear.  :lol

And what do you set your convergence at?

No worries scotch :).  Thanks for the honest feedback.  I thought you might not like it nearly as much as "Gunfighters".  "Gunfighters" told much more of a story of 1 v 1 air combat.

MR2 is pretty light on the story telling and is rather a squadron montage to capture some of the action in a typical 412th fighter sweep.

Thanks for the comments.  Hehe, Evanescence has some other really good songs IMHO - not many played on the radio.  But I'm pretty eclectic in my musical tastes meaning ranging from classical to progressive rock and anything in between!

I've got all my guns set to 275 yds on my Ponies I think.  Not sure what other 412th pilots have their's set to.

Good video quality and nice camera work! Not fond of seeing 109s going down in flames though. :cry
I like the song, but also agree with Latrobe. It seems to be overused.
Overall, thumbs up!  :aok

Is there a link to this "Gunfighters" film?

Well, perhaps it's apples and oranges and was unfair to MR2 to bring Gunfighters up. Your work shouldn't necessarily need to compete against your other pieces. You definitely spent some time and thought on this one and it shows. People can definitely watch this and aspire to create or improve their own work.

 Because of my flying style I probably do identify with Gunfighters more. But it wasn't the story telling alone that drew me and others into that film. Your use of sounds in Gunfighters was great. Hearing the engines of the 51 and the Yak duking it out gives me chills and is something I'm trying to work on with my current k4 project. I was a little surprised not to hear any sounds other than the soundtrack in this one since you've definitely mastered it.

PS: I did want to call a couple of those 51's picktards....  :devil

Enjoyed the film, the storyline drew me in as well as the visuals, camera angels, the music which was nicely timed along with some of the kills. May i suggest next time you let some of the clips run a bit more? You kinda were switching camera angels on the fights a little too much but it was still overal a good movie.  :salute

Great shots!....loved the quick action I know that took lots of time. Sound effects would have been a nice extra. Great resolution

I thought some of your camera shots were exceptional.  For an MA/montage/whatever type film I thought it was very good.  I think adding sound to it would have been a real deal breaker and added a lot to the film.  Though it can be time consuming.  I wasn't a fan of the sounds added to Gunfighters as they were not from the game and the doppler effect from the engine noises used, did not match with the video.

I was pleasantly entertained with the movie and the quality was very good.  The shots were short and action packed, though the timeline in the dog fights between camera angles always seemed to vary a bit too much at times.  As in, parts of the battle (only a few seconds) were skipped and planes did not seem to flow in a continuing timeline some one camera angle to another (confusing?).

8.765/10
I may be critical on very good work, but not as harsh as say Krusty :D
