RoF - Target Fixation

[vonjager]

You really have some amazing moviemaking skills, man. Have you ever thought about checking into how you can apply that talent to make money, doing what you're good at?

[ThreeNineLine]

@vonjager

Thanks!

Oh yeah, I gave it a shot a few years ago, but it just never materialized. The world is overexposed with video makers so it's hard to get into the inner circles without connections. Plus, there's lots of great talent out there. I

I still have fun from time to time with it though. Sure could use the cash these days though!

[kolbpilot]

I like everything except where you slow the broken wing down (for effect) for a moment after it breaks off the target airplane. Let it fly off full speed, to enhance the little time the attacking pilot has to avoid it. Just nit picking. Very well done.

[stutzi112]

Good work man !!

It looks llike in an old video

[justforever96]

I bet in real life it was bit less...peaceful. Still, good work. BTW, how does that whole thing with the thumbnails work. I've been trying to figure that out.

[ThreeNineLine]

@justforever96

Well, being that I'm not a YouTube partner, I just create a thumbnail and attach it to the end of the video. You have to make sure it's 30% of the video length so YouTube will choose a snapshot from that segment and you can pick it as your thumbnail. It does make your video longer than necessary, but at least you can have a better looking thumbnail image.

Brilliant and depressing. Reminds me of how I felt reading Winged Victory.

[Django333]

Nice editing, really bad dogfighting.

[Quake2World]

@LukeDude759, happened all the time :(

[pharoah246]

Jesus that's fucking scary man.

[DarkFidelity]

This gives me the chills.

It puts everything in a completely different perspective.

[LukeDude759]

The wing... hits the pilot...?

[racinglad]

Does anyone knows what the pilot says twice before crashing?

[racinglad]

@racinglad Nevermind, I read the description.

[cruisingcody]

@racinglad

"oh shit, oh shit"?

[racinglad]

Awesome!

[33rO1]

Please, can you say what is that beatyful music? can i find it a Spotify?

i love simulation games and classical music and when i looked this video first time i almost cry :(

[Marlboroman2K7]

Nice video, I noticed some dialogue from passion of christ>?

[newsupersammyspider]

ive learned this lesson. (not to target) On my flight sim RED BARON 3D I was so focused on downing this one fokker tri, that I didnt think about what I was doing. The fokker pulled up and I didnt think to turn. I wanted him dead. By accident, I smashed into him. I fell for 3 minutes before I hit the ground.

[Massimilianochiani]

Speachless ... !S

[MrTornadoman97]

this sends chills down my spine just thinking about it

[wind2jammer]

sux to follow your victm in :(

[kolbpilot]

A chilling prospect indeed. All you could do is close your eyes. Very well done.

[vonjager]

@ThreeNineLine SWEET! You know what's even better than you getting to pump out more vids? I GET TO WATCH THEM! WOOT!

[Thesixthgoon]

Beautiful. I always thought it odd the humans in the game were so silent. Even if your pilot was sitting in a burning plane, he wouldn't say a thing. For realisms sake, they have to add that macabre detail.

Beautiful video, great effects and very well done.

[vonjager]

@ThreeNineLine hey it's ok man :) I appreciate you taking it into consideration! It's such a lovely piece, and I just would really enjoy having offline access to it

[DanGuara]

That was deep, good job!

[vonjager]

What is this music from? It's so haunting... I LOVE this video!

[lancashireladbiker]

I have to reply to this again and say;

NEVER has a video for a computer game made me want to cry!

[lancashireladbiker]

This is a work of Genius. So powerful and moving.

Well done.

[sirgisbod]

Brilliant! Hope you're in the RoF $1000 competition? :)

[JonathanHeckbert]

Don't mention it! I watched it a few more times, and I still get goosebumps...

[ToreDL87]

I am at a loss of words..

May I offer my deepest respects!

You sir, are a true scholar!

[JasonLVNV]

Very nice video!

@JasonLVNV Hey Jason, woulndt this be perfect as promotion video?

[JonathanHeckbert]

This video is fantastic! You could really get a feel for the despair this poor soul would have felt. Its chillingly beautiful!

[ThreeNineLine]

@JonathanHeckbert

Thank you very much Jonathan.

 Yeah, it is despairing to think of what these guys must have felt knowing their end was seconds away. I can only imagine the thoughts and prayers that went through their hearts and minds.

[MrEndemo]

Absolutely amazing work! I really love it! Make more like that please!

[ThreeNineLine]

@MrEndemo

Thank you. Hoping to get some more finished up soon.

[DiamondEyeProduction]

Good choice of music and sound. Excellent. Well done!

[ThreeNineLine]

@DiamondEyeProduction

Awesome comment! Thank you!

[CCWaffen]

...magnifico !

[ThreeNineLine]

@CCWaffen

thank you! very kind of you to leave a comment!

[jagerfaust2009]

Extremely well done and thought provoking. You captured the emotion of the moments with this compilation. Thanks and cheers!

[XTRMNTR2K]

This video is incredible. You managed to present this problem - many pilots really did suffer from target fixation, even Manfred von Richthofen was believed to have suffered from it after his head injury - in a very fitting and beautiful, yet dramatic way.

Definately one of the top Rise of Flight videos if not the best.

[ThreeNineLine]

@XTRMNTR2K

[CrankEmpire]
