Dear fellow bf2s:ers,

After a recent rant of a video by Bennet, I started to contemplate whether I have the right to rant or not.. Seeing that I had never made a single video myself, I figured that it would be time to give it a try.. I played with camera angles, and already had a clue over the soundtrack. At first I thought I'd mix some Tool in there once the "action" started, but previewing the storyboard made me change my mind. I can clearly see why Oliver Stone chose this music for Platoon.

Take a look! And comment freely. If you you think it was just shit, and you want your 2 minutes back, say so! If you liked it, loved even, I am more than happy to receive positive feedback!

Directors comments: I didn't want to make an "ownage video". I have no intention of showing off to the world how "1337" I am. I just wanted a short portrayal of the game from a chopper pilots view. The beauty of war. Ok, maybe there's a little "This is how we boys do it"..

These are actual events from a ranked round. Not framed nor according to any manuscript.

Enjoy!

Music: Adagio for Strings (opening sequence of Platoon)

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

Watched without sound at work but enjoyed multiple camera angles.

Especially liked shot looks up at underside of chopper towards beginning.
Problem with so many videos is that predictable quality.

Cheers.

+1 for your effort.

The second shot, where the chopper flies over the sun's reflection in the water, very nice.
It's the little things.

We didn't know he was there. We just figured someone was bound to try go for the flag. Uber just had a gut feeling when to push ze button, and got it right! Of course there would have been the option of waiting for it to be neutralized to be totally sure, but that's one flag defense point less!

Yes, the footage is actual stuff from a ranked round, and yes it's only one chopper run. Nothing is "set up".

Very nice! [golf claps]

Very refreshing to hear actual musical instruments and not some Rap Crap.

I've never even considered the range of the Spec Op's 'det it would appear to be unlimited in the space of the map.

Nice vid !!

Much better then the usual "I kick your ass with my extraordinary talent" and Hardrock/Heavy/Rap - tune in the backround...

It's allways better when Da Director uses some time to edit his/her movie...

Even when I usually hate snipermovies this Example movie was so nicely put together that I just had to bring it up again.

Example movie for excelent music/editing:
