FWIW: https://www.videopixie.com/game-trailer-video-production-companies

The above-linked page contains company descriptions and their locations, work samples and quote request capability for several companies.
Looks like you can even put it out there for those various outfits to bid on your project. That is even better.

Yep and some gameplay changes would be welcome also, like rolling plane set, a real life map (europe seems like the best theatre), war 1939-1945 and 2 sides, axis vs allies

With 600 player in the arena there is no dilution even on the large maps.

Our squadron has a guy that likes making films, will see if he is willing. 

On another note, Warbirds is still going if you want rolling plane sets and two sided wars.  With that you will have 12 of your closest friends to fight with on a busy night. And Bill is great about updating the game about once a year to change the splash screen.  Oh and I think they brought EZ mode back on an attempt to gain new players.

AH is following the path that Warbirds has already walked (Free play,  Steam etc.) and WBs failed.  My hope - and belief is that the crew at AH can actually pull it off.  They actually seem to care about the product and it shows.

How many players do we have in the arena?

Rhetorical question.   We both know it isn't 600.

50 players split three ways = YAWN.

I'm voting yes as I type this.  If this ends up on steam, I will most certainly be re-subscribing.  :aok

Quantity of players is only real solution to the Yawn.  With quantity you will have enough people that will want to fight.  Warbirds for the last two years was spent chasing the fight.  Soon as a challenge developed the  enemy would just up as far away as possible to take the next undefended bases.  Two sides didn't change the game play.

You won't get quantity if noobs check on and see a three-sided contest with no fight to speak of.

And if they see the Buzzkill map?   Forget it.    DISASTER.

I'd contact this player and ask for permission to post or use this or another one of his AH III game play videos.  This one is a 1v1 in the clouds and it looks pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDSHj3C2fAw

Personally, I like the engine noise, but if you get permission to use it, or get the original file, perhaps you could get one of the volunteers in here to add dramatic music to it to make it more "cinematic".

The only "drawbacks" of this video in my opinion are 1) it only shows one fight, but it is realistic AH gameplay and 2) the HUD is on, which I personally think detracts from the historical nature of the game genre (note the video's comments section on YouTube has similar comments).   That said, anything showing air combat and actual game-play from a first person perspective would be far better to the current commercial.

For those of us playing this game for well over a decade, Aces High is more of a social club. The game just provides the framework. I keep logging in for the people and Pipz was the kind that you keep coming to meet again.

I wonder what are the current numbers and how many more are needed for the game to be green lit?   Judging by the comments on steam page game is already popular, because other indie 'green lit' titles don't even have 30 comments.
