You know it's funny, I've been at ZSE since 2004 and still remember when this video came out. This is a simple yet awesome video that I still enjoy watching.
I flew within Oakland ARTCC's airspace many, many times; was never disappointed! Great ATC service, professional and knowledgeable! Just like it should be! Keep it up guys!
Indeed. All of the shots have some sort of after effect added in. None of them were plug ins, however, and I did it all by hand. The only one that was "from" Active Camera was the walking to the plane. For some reason I still think it looks much more realistic with all of the bounciness, you're not going to sit there in a plane and never move your head ;)
I absoultly love this video. You guys did a greate job with the video clips and the song goes perfict with the idea of what we do in VATSIM as controlers. Outstanding Job.
Not only a great representation of the online aviation spirit, but of aviation period. Truly an inspiring piece, hands down. A great mix of cinematic elements and surreal music give us that feeling of excitement, awe, and adventure that can only be experienced in flight. Great attention to detail in the editing. This was a story - not just a montage per se, but a real story, with a beginning, middle, and end.
This was a piece that took dedication, time, and creativity to pull off.
We do actually. The video will be on our website will have Audio. I didn't want to put audio on this one because I thought it would take away from the cinematic effect - but the one on our website has LIVEATC Audio and is absolutely amazing. Come take a look in a little bit, www.oakartcc.com Or PM Me on the forums and I'll send you the link to the -other- video. Name's Tom Flanary.

hey, great video, but, how do yo make all those turbulence effects outside the plane, i have the Active Camera but i don´t know how to do that.

I believe he did all that in post with the movie editor. A lot of them have plug-ins or options to move the frame around to emmulate that effect.

Music:
Coldplay - Fix you
The front of the song has been cut off (makes it better in my opinon) if what you hear in online music stores doesn't seem the same.

For Vatsim and you don't have any audio of ATC guys? For shame!....
Incredible video though. I love the music and very cinematic.

There's another video somewhere of a "goodbye" video to Flight Sim 2004 for Flight Sim X. I think your music would have been better for that one. :D
