BF2 FILM : Lets Fly

[Smiley_ie]

Hi all.
Still working on my BF2 film and had tons of footage from BF2 / SF that i was going to delete so instead i put them together and made a small video. Nothing new just people dying. Size - 21mb
Enjoy.

Just had a look at it, Smiley_ie, and I thought it was superb! Amazing camerawork, fantastic editing and excellent choice of music. I've been greatly anticipating your upcoming film and this little clip heightened that anticipation even further.

What I like most about the videos you've made is that they demonstrate the level of quality that can be achieved with the game and the tools we have available. When someone is truly committed to doing high quality work, the results, as you've proven, can be extraordinary.

Keep up the great work! Oh, and how close are you to finishing your film?

Come to think of it, I've got a few other questions, too ...

1) How long did this one take you?
2) What editing program(s) are you using?
3) Do you have any kind of background in film-making?

I'm very keen to learn more ...

Re: BF2 FILM : Lets Fly

How did you do the Zooms? It was my understanding BF2 couldn't do those Live? Or did you do it with Fraps using the sniper scope or something?

Re: BF2 FILM : Lets Fly

Yeah that's really great. You had some great in-game shots as well as some fantastic editing.

I'm really curious how you grabbed some of the in-game footage, though. I've always have trouble getting good in-game footage, you seem to be able to follow fast moving vehicles quickly.

Re: BF2 FILM : Lets Fly

Very impressive editing there, not toooo sure about the action in the scenes though, its funny at the start but gets a little monotonous, keep up the good work though

Re: BF2 FILM : Lets Fly

I'll second all the previous comments. Nicely done.
I liked the "under the tank" move.
Smiley_ie, what about the bf2 movie you are making now? Is there any specific theme?
