Video crew for you know what

[Dino Might]

With the F14 likely delivered within a year, I'm looking for people interested in filming some flight scenes to recreate some of the favorite top gun moments (but better in some cases).

 

I know, I know, it's an unrealistic and cheesy movie, but I think it would be a heck of a fun time to recreate the first and last aerial scenes of the movie, and then just dub the movie audio in over the DCS video.

 

So...who is in for some goofing around? :pilotfly:

I'm down! How do you propose to film!

[Dino Might]

I figure we'll set up a few multiplayer missions to set up each scene, so that we don't have to fuel and fly out and waste too much time. I've got shadowplay for in-cockpit stuff and can then use track replays to record from different angles.

 

For the scenes that just show F5s, we could start that now (although I'm a bit busy with a new baby, but once I get some flight time...). I'll start thinking up the mission setups so that we can go right into filming short clips. I figure if we do about 10-20 min flights at a time, that will keep it easy enough to look through the tracks and pull out the footage we want.

 

I think we'll probably start with just straight copying some scenes from the movie, but would rather do some development of our own scenes to fix some of the re-used footage that didn't quite match what was supposed to be going on.

let us know

I can fly the F5 relatively well and in formation however the harder manoeuvres are edgy as i have a T flight X however I have 2 curves set up, one for formation and one for dogfighting/ aerobatics :)

You could try to make get in connection with Cobra etc (leatherneck) since im sure it would make for a brilliant Teaser for the F-14 ^^.

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

I'll be in touch in the next few days. Trying to figure out my schedule for available time to fly (right now, sitting with a new sleeping baby - gives me time to think up scene layouts, though).

 

I'm sure there are legal issues with Leatherneck using any vids we make with the Top Gun audio (I planned on using the audio straight from the movie), but at the very least, I think they'd get a kick out of it. They might even build some F14 scenes for us while they are doing testing :thumbup:

Sounds good Dino! I'm usually free after five during the week and my weekends are pretty flexible.
