Hi guys,

Here's another video from me featuring MANY big planes landing at Kai Tak. Does it really get any better than that? I don't think so. No story, no theme, just bloody big planes.

http://www.badongo.com/file/523862

I've never seen a "proper" Kai Tak FS video, so I thought I'd go all out and do one. And so it weighed in at 8 minutes and 90mb!!!!  :lol: yes

I am aware that the video does "artifact up" in a few places however I have to keep my bitrate down for obvious reasons. This scenery is an absolute pig dog to work with, so you also may spot one of two stutters - I don't care!   :lol:  

Hope you don't mind the large download. Just get lost in the music and let yourself get taken away...

Cheers  :D

Great video! Few people here can make a 7-8 min video without being boring! Here's an example of a very professional one! :lol:  Well worth the 90MB download! I liked the atmosphere you got there using a very relaxing and enjoyable music with those big planes! btw I 'm starting to think that you have a thing for big planes...  :D hahaha

All right the new Flyhalf bllockbuster as it was said in Navman's topic, could'nt wait for this one to come out! :lol:
Well it did, and I'm glad it did, just absolutely stunning, definetly not your usual style of editing, but it was neverthless remarkable.
Great job Max!
The ending clip with the lockheed tristar was so cool, it truly looked liked you were forced to bring her down, awesome stuff! :D

:lol:

Simply the best Kai Tak video I have ever seen. Great landings too. I see the Queen of the skies featured in a lot of your videos. Wouldnt doubt you could land the real one with all that experience in the sim.  :D

I'll chuck it up on my ISP for ya Adey. They are bandwidth Nazis though (250mb per month) which is why I don't use it full time and have a site like yours. Must look at other options there I think. Keep hitting Bagongo though you might get lucky.

Awsome mate! Youve proved the impossible in my books, a video longer than 6 minutes that you don't get tired of one bit! You showd off that amaizing scenery whilst, somehow, keeping the FPS as high as possible! Two great songs aswel just went with the whole mood of that video! And the stills worked perfectly!

All round 5 star performance mate ,

Nice one!

Scott.

Well I really love your videos, flyhalf and I always download them when a new one comes out.  :D  :D
But I only get 5-10KB/s on this Bagongo site, so could you plese upload the vid somwhere else?? THX!!  :D

But I would like to know something:

What did you mean with this "bandwidth Nazis"??   :lol:

Then please accept my apologies and I retract that statement entirely, Delta777. I never thought about it like that. :D

PS yeah you are right about the speed, Maybe it's because America is awake right now. I'll look for another place to host it.

I agree, the speed is terrible. But I'll still wait out the hour and 54 minutes, your videos are that good.


(I do intend on editing this post when it's done for anyone who is going to start freaking out)
