I am new to this forum, as I have stumbled upon this simming thing rather recently....I have been absolutely stunned by the quality of this video.....I've  made a few videos myself, but after watching this one I put all of mine on a non-stop flight to the land of the recycle bin....awesome work Navigator.....

Thanks for the comments!  :D  I came to realize that I cannot force myself to make a video, I have to get inspired by something before video ideas start to come up. :lol:

Not many videos give me the "WOW" feeling but this one surely did.

The music was perfect.  The opening was spot on...the uluru then afterwards, the transition to the mountain scenery.  Some of these scenes looked REAL...despite being crappy default mesh.

Is this video really only 3:50 long?  It felt like an eternity.  Something I like - short yet breathtaking.

5/5 for this video definately.

Mr Navigator Sir! Brilliant video! As are Equinox, and Brazil Control, and Controle Brasil 2! Got them all!
I have a few questions I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
Your movies are the subject of some discussion over in the alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim newsgroup.

1. How on earth do you get such smooth motion in your sim? Do you have a massive computer system, or is it something we can all acheive?
2. What do you use to capture your footage? Fraps?
3. How do you get the camera angles you do, such as the panel shots in CB2? Is it Active Camera?

I'd be eternally grateful if you could answer these questions for me!
Thanks again, and keep producing your art! I'm hooked! :-)

CL,

  thanks for your comments. I didn't know my videos were popular at that newsgroup :D

Answering your questions:

1. I have a AMD 3500 with an ATI 850XT. Nothing special. I do run my sim on a stripped down copy of windows(nothing in the background) and capture footage to a second HD exclusively for capturing video. Much of the "smoothness" I guess is a combination of Fraps and the rendering in Sony Vegas.
2. yes, FRAPS
3. To position the cameras I use Active Camera and Walk&Follow. The pannings are done in the video editing software.

hope that helps!

Excellent! Thanks! I have an Athlon64 3500+ and the X700Pro card, so it seems our systems are similar. I also have Active Camera, and Fraps full versions.
I've got Adobe Premiere 6, so I imagine that's pretty similar to what you use. Might check out that Walk&Follow program.
I'd love to be able to make movies as good as yours!
I've make 3 or 4, and I thought they were good, until I came here! :-)

I suppose you record using Fraps at full size, rather than half size?, and set fps to 30+?
Thanks for being so obliging!
