I'm looking for 5-6 Skilled pilots to make a cool BF1942 Flying video. 3-4 are needed for flying scenes and 1-2 people to be "cameras".

Basically the video will showcase flying skills. It will be a full length video, so it will probably take several nights worth of playing around to capture all the footage I need.

All the pilots and camera persons will be credited in the video.

The soundtrack of the Video is going to be "Dreams" by VanHalen. If you have ever seen this video you will understand. If not you can view a sample of it here http://www.van-halen.com/newsite/video/dreams.ram

How skilled do you have to be to qualify? I would say at a minimum:

1. Uses the KEYBOARD (the mouse just doesn't give smooth flying, even the developers agree).
2. Able to perform barrel rolls, loops, etc.
3. Knows the difference between the Rudder and Ailerons and makes use of both.
4. Able to effectively bomb a target (the video won't have much bombing though).
5. Ability to dive low but not crash
6. Ability to fly under the bridge
7. Ability to fly upside-down

You get the idea...I'm not talking about being a flying God, but several shots require flying in formation...and this requires skill with the controls and throttle. No doubt there will be lots of crashes during the production, but thats okay, I might include a 30 second out-takes video

I will be capturing the video via the TV-Out on my video card connected to another PC with a video capture board. This should provide high quality raw video which I will edit to create the final product, which will probally be .wmv to save space.

If you are interested, contact me via blaz3r@hotmail.com, or on ICQ 639343.

Depending on the number of people who respond, we may have to hold a tryout to make sure the skills are there. Anyone who can fly upside-down under the bridge is a shoe-in :-)

I will check back here periodically to see if there are any comments/questions.
