Hi,

With a lot of sleep to catch up I finished parts 1 till 3 of my project "Sudden Strike" of what will become 4 or 5 parts.

I had an idea which I could not get out of my head so I started flying and capturing my own fictional mission.

The idea was something like:

An former airforce general called 'The Pirate' gets in control again and takes his wing to the sky to capture our heavy weapons at one of our bases. Also sending in paratroopers to get control at the ground.
A quick reaction from our side is needed.
The general is seeding 'wind', but he get's back a 'Storm' by the Wine'69 Sqn's.

I've made a Preview Movie, and this is the link:

Click on the 'bar'which says, Sudden Strike Preview !

Small edit:

Part 1: Div take-off's and cruise + refueling.
Part 2: Airbattle with 'The Pirate's ' fighters.
Part 3: A10's taking out the enemy airbase defences.
Part 4: Take out ' The Pirate's ' flying stuff.
Part 5 :

Statement: The quality of capturing and effects aint that good as seen in "The Black See Operations" by Glowing Amraam and there aint much humor as in Bensky & Mutch by Dobberman21 but I tried to get something to you what was worth all these hours of making it. Hopefully is nice to watch.

not bad buddy.
a couple suggestions would be to work on your camera angles (needs to be more unique!)
Also try using a bit of panning or camera jiggle when filming, some shots looked like screen shots instead of a movie clip, because there was no activity to bring it to life.

Keep it up

and for god sake can we get some more comments for the aspiring movie makers please! Speaking from experience, it is very disheartnening to spend so much time on something and have no feed back from the community for which it was made.

p.s. Albertsma, try posting this stuff at the lockon.ru forums as well.

Can't D/L it now but as soon as I can I will. Looking forward to seeing it.

Thx, for your words.

You where right about the preview's steady images.
I used screenshots except for the F16 & SU33.
I thought it was the best for quality to put in screenshots in this preview movie.
This way keeping it a rather small in file size.

That's also the problem why I made this movie in more then one part.
Due lack off webspace I had to make short movies to keep a bit of qaulity picture.

Greetz, Wine'69.

Good preview WF. It's always exciting when I see the work of new movie makers in Lockon. I really like the soundtrack, good choice for the preview. Can't wait to see the end result. <S>
