Cliffs of Dover Video Thread V1.0 [Closed]

[bw_wolverine]

Inspired by a lot of the videos here, I'm trying to put together my own. I've managed to mix a good audio track and I'm working on capturing the 'rushes' or raw footage.

I started practicing in 1946 since I didn't have CloD yet. Now that I've got CloD, I'd like to use that for the video.

Questions for those who are making vids:

What's the best way you've found to capture footage? Make a FMB mission and lay out tons of static cameras and then just roll tape with the in game recorder, then go back and continuously replay the recording while using FRAPS at key moments?

Do you use multiplayer to get the pilots to fly 'properly' for the cameras?

Regarding the time acceleration thing to smooth out the game for recordings. Do you play the mission at slow speed, play the in game recording back at higher speed and FRAPS that? Or do you play at normal speed, play the recording back at slower speed, FRAPS that, and then speed it up back to normal in the video edit process?

When you are flying the mission to be recorded, do you reduce realism settings to help get the shots you want? What realism settings seem to work best for recording tracks?

My video is pretty simple so I should be able to accomplish it, I'm just looking for helpful tips that maybe seem obvious now to lots of folks, but I'd have to discover through trial and error. Perhaps save me some time
