One Summer's Day: An Aces High II Story

This is departure from my usual, simple Musketeers Squadron after-action videos. The raw footage came from a July 2009 squadnight sortie against a carrier task group harassing our side's coastal base. As I watched the raw film though, a story began to form in my mind. I wanted to portray an epic, somewhat tragic aura for it. The end result isn't so much a typical dogfight film as much as it is a machinima that tells a melancholy story about stoicism, duty and sacrifice. I believe it's the best I've done so far.

Visit The Musketeers Squadron at http://www.musketeers.org for more info about this clip and check out the rest of our site. There's a lot to see there.

@Buzzmanfly01 Thank you! I was going more for that drama than actual gameplay footage. Glad it worked.

Great video. Good job!! 5/5. Only thing that was missing was the shot ov the torpedoes hitting the ships, but other than that, a very exquisite video!

@nemesis233 Thanks Nemesis :-). Yep, there are a few things I'd do differently both technically and composition-wise were I to do it now. But overall I like the mood and tone I achieved. Glad you liked it!
