[Bloblast]

Great movies!
Book must be good, detailed description of the action.

Dropping bombs on bomber formation is totally new for me!
Was it with time detonator?

Great job!

The voice over job is nicely done and the video editing has a nice tight flow as well.

What's the tecnique used to achieve this?

I use the green screen chroma key technique: You film the actors in front of a green cloth and then, with multi-layer editing, the green background is made transparent , see example

Humans (filmed with green backdrop) sized and placed in correct position,





Final image where the green is made transparent and the image filtered with various filters to create a realistic life-like look:

Painstaking at the least! and regardless the multiple encodings and effects you retained nice colors as well!

You worked the whole project on PC or used Avid and stuff of the sort?

Are you planing a longer feature?

Even though this is the best IL2 movie I've seen, I can't help commenting on the mountains in the background that looks like Arizona or something. If the map sector Dora Dora is over the North Sea (Helgoland) the base they flew from must have been in north west germany considering the short range of the 109... North west germany is flat so it is an immersion minus for me at least. Living in southern Sweden that looks like northern germany, I would love to have a sky line like that, but sorry it's just a flat horizon...

Other than that - amazing work!

Haha, very nice! Clearly a lot of work went into this!

Thank you:

All done on PC, used Sony Vegas film editor and actors filmed with Sony HD cam.

Used the usual fraps for IL2 image capture and Wonder touch particle software for special effects like flames and explosions.

Next movie will be on Thomas "Pat" Pattle, Top Allied fighter ace who flew Gladiators and Hurricanes during Africa/Greece campaigns. Will be a much longer documentary and will try to have a bash at TV screening.
