617Dambusters

For the past few years ive always wanted to create a 3D movie... I want to base it off of this vid:



I was planning on using the sound as an over lay for the movie. The story line doesnt have to match the movie and thats where i need help. TZ, or anyone else, can you think of a good story line involving an FBR. Remember it has to go along with the sound form the vid.

----------------------------------------

I will have to create and map all the objects and enviroments, so i would assume this project is a long term project as i dont know 3D as a profesional and only do it on my free time as a hobby. Heres a list of things that would be needed:

What game/engine is that from?

Looks like IL-2 Sturmovik but that has to be modded to fly B-17's.

looks like it to me too. look at the 109s and tracers

anyone ever played the game Operation: Flashpoint? in that game you could create missions down to the exact points a helicopter or truck would go pick up troop. you could create or change almost every aspect of the game, i wonder if there are any WWII airwar games that are like that...

Definitely IL2, I've flown that mission in a P-47. Pretty sure those Forts are AI.
Some of those cockpit shots looked suspiciously like A-20 'pits too...
Bunch of non game stuff spliced in as well.
Little choppy but it looks pretty cool.


Hey, Doesn't that clip say "by wwiiolsnipet" WTF?


What do you need anyway Sniper?
Hans und Fritz griping about schienwerfers?

You want to just rip the soundtrack off and lay it over another video track?
Or keep the music and lose the vocals? Maybe the other way around?
Do you wanna make this in WWIIOL or IL2?

Are you trying to say something or just make light entertainment?
What do you want to show?
Do you have some particular scene in mind?

Gimme something to work with Snippet or I might write 'Dads Army Online' featuring our Wingit when you want 'The War Lover' with Steve McQueen.
Personally, I'd start from scratch. New vid, vocals and sound fx.

Oh, and you can't just remake 'Love from Above'.

it wasnt made by me, just uploaded. i couldnt find it anywhere else

should i just recreate the scenes or should i try to have different scenes with same sounds?

yup

Do you wanna make this in WWIIOL or IL2?

neither, its all guna be make in a 3D program. thats why i made the list above of things that would have to be modeled and painted (textured).

i wanted to do sort of a 617 recruitment type thing about FBRs.

*opens door, peeps, closes door*

What The F**k were they talking about?

lol wingit


does anyone know if DB7s were just kept out in the open like B17s were or did they have them all in hangars? anyone seen any pixs?

I would imagine they were all out in the open. To enclose them would take a lot of hangar space.

What Cono said. You got hangars for maintenance if you were lucky.
Aircraft should be dispersed around the field (in revetments if possible), unless forming for a mission or going off for maintenance or whatever.


Alright then, recruitment vid?

Well, if it's for 617 I'd say use game footage and TS clips judiciously edited to sound like the real thing.
No chatter for example, just 6 calls and bombing range calls and suchlike. "Bomber Lead level at 5k, trimming down. Okay, Lead is Zero zero on the line Kilo 5. Fighter lead head Romeo 2, orbit left at 7k..." that kinda crap
You can intercut this stuff with real wartime pics, news clippings, vid clips and the like.
Maybe you could ghost in some Lancs in the background of some of the game shots following us.

A question I neglected to ask is how long do you expect this epic of yours to run?
If you just want a recruiting poster 3 or 4 minutes is plenty.
On the other hand if you got a story to tell...

ya that would be cool for a recruitment vid ingame. i always wanted to find a radio voice overlay to make it sound like the real thing.

idk i think when im finished modeling everything them ill come up with a story line... ive got the control tower and fuel tanks modeled and spend all this week watching a 7 hour tutorial to get caught back up on things.

Okies.
If you want script or something, give me your storyline and we'll work something out between us

im gettin there
