gabuzomeu Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi, A few words, only personal opinion, and to give you feedback on a movie already quite attractive and dynamic. Your formation flying shots with many aircraft are very good, the views from the ground as well. On the other hand, the accelerated rythm does not feel right. And you should play more with the zoom: there is a lot of wide angle shots which do not give justice to the beautiful hornet. Hope this helps a bit, and I’m looking forward to more videos from you, Congratulations for this auspicious start!

I'll deff take those into consideration for the next video. I only increased the speed to go with the rhythem of the music, but fair enough i'll hold back on that for the next one.

Nightwolf Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Cool! One thing that I noticed is sometimes your framerate seemed to be suffering (It could be my bad internet though, idk). If you notice this is happening, which used to be my problem, you could always run the sim in slow motion and speed the footage up in editing, effectively increasing the framerate.

Gladman Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 It lacked feeling to me. Seemed as though it wasn't a story, it was just clips. I did like the angles and ground views. The music made my ears bleed. I had to turn it way down. Still better than I could do. i9 9900K @ 5.1Ghz - ASUS Maximus Hero XI - 32GB 4266 DDR4 RAM - ASUS RTX 2080Ti - 1 TB NVME - NZXT Kraken 62 Watercooling System - Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas (Virpil Base) - MFG Crosswind Pedals - Pimax 5K+ VFA-25 Fist Of The Fleet [sigpic]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic99190_2.gif[/sigpic] Virtual Carrier Strike Group 1 | Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growling Sidewinder Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 It lacked feeling to me. Seemed as though it wasn't a story, it was just clips. I did like the angles and ground views. The music made my ears bleed. I had to turn it way down. Still better than I could do. it was meant to be just cool clips not a story, but i'll keep that in mind if other people think a story line is better for the video. and yes I understand the music isnt for everyone, I try to use an array of music in my videos for this reason. can't please everyone lol thanks for the feedback man, great stuff.

ironroad Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The Rule of Thirds, look that up it might help. I can tell when your frames are dropping due to your settings. You may want to crank down settings like visible range and objects when filming close in. And limit motion when filming wide (i.e. airbases, cities, etc.) Use fog and haze to your advantage and use the mission editor to place aircraft, objects, troops, etc. sparsely (but close enough) to add depth to your shots (i.e. when filming airport ops). Some people like 60fps (live look and easier to to do slow-mos with) uploads others like 24-30 (more cinematic look). I say it depends on what you want to. You can mix the two (i.e. special effects, flash backs, time-lapses, etc.), but try to be consistent with your base FPS. https://www.youtube.com/user/ironroad18 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
