[Video] Bolt From the Blue
Posted: 2009-04-17 02:58
I started with Wrath of the Cobrawith WMM, and decided I needed a new Moviemaking software. So I got Sony Vegas 8. I know some of you may remember my old CAS Montage, it consisted of mostly some Attack Chopper support and some formation flying. Really was nothing special. I got some base-rape complaints, and I fully agree most of the video WAS just us strafing one of the uncaps. Yea, I know it was cheesy. Compared to this. I've had Sony Vegas for a few months longer and have figured out some nifty effects and decided to sit down and begin another. (just a few weeks after the CAS Montage release, December) Now, in *May(hopefully) I am ready to release it.
But since it is not exactly ready yet...I thought I would release a Trailer for it. Just to give you a feel. This was my first step. I wanted a slick intro and wanted to focus on the helicopter itself, not so much the players. (since the rest will be
) I used a track from The Italian Job, as it has a urban feel to it. And many of the shots were taken at low altitude. We just joined a empty Muttrah map with BR running and did a few low flybys and such. (Think it was Golden Camel Alliance or something with Camels
so thank you for running BR)
The title is kind of a long story, I am a huge weather buff, I want to pursue it as a career and a phenomenon that is quite rare is called a 'Bolt From the Blue'. It is a lightning bolt that can strike 30 miles away from the top of a Cumulonimbus cloud, and are several times stronger than a regular bolt. The way I see it is the way attack choppers are supposed to be used, quick attacks, get in get out. Kind of fitting with lightning. So I hope you may see the connection. Sit back, get pumped, and enjoy! As usual, video quality is usually cut down a notch while hosting online, so if you feel the need, Download.

Little about the movie itself: Pretty much a full out fragfest. Edited for sync to music. About 12 minutes in length. Sony Vegas 8 and The GIMP used. Many chopper maps used(Kashan, Karbala, Muttrah), Apaches, Cobras, Havoks. Song list a secret for now. Hopeful release in *May.
