Hello All,
Thank you all for your generous response I truly appreciate it! And (badger_ken) yes thank you for pointing out
it's"MORALE". too funny. I'll fix that in the movie file. The two torps were a directors choice. I wanted the long shot of the two torpedoes heading to the tanker. Technically you are right. Torpedoes are expensive!
To answer a few of the questions:
My fathers great, grand father came from Norway. My dad is 83.
I did do all the voices. It took a bunch of recordings and I still could have done better. My advise is to either direct someone else and let them do the voice work or BE directed by someone you trust.
When you are doing it yourself it's hard to be objective. P.S. have good microphone and Head phones.
Most of the shots I took were silent. After I edited them the way I wanted (got the time line down) I went into the SHIII sound file and pulled the sound I wanted and then put it where I wanted in the movie. As for different Pinging sounds, I simply manipulated the the sound file and raised the pitch. I did this with MAGIX MOVIE. Adding the sound effects took almost as long as filming.
When using FRAPS I always recorded using the "Half-size button. It just seemed to work better and it made the AVI file smaller. I also recorded at 30 FPS.
I used "MAGIX MOVIE" software to do all the editing. It was not too expensive (under$70 dollars US.) and came with a ton of options. I tried Premier but just didn't like it.
What I learned: Make your script first, Film your scenes, Record your dialogue then add the sound effects. It will save you some serious editing!
As far as the size goes; The original movie on my hard rive is about 3 gigs. I have a DVD version (It looks outstanding on the TV
and doesn't stutter) that is about 330 megs as an MPEG. I couldn't figure out how to load that so I made the WMV.
I guess there were compression issues and that is why there are a few stutter in the movie.
I'll have to check our CCIP's camera mod. But to tell the truth...trying to get planes to be where and when you want them would be a bit of work that I'm not sure I'm ready for.
One last thing. I notices the that the sound quality was very poor on the downloaded version of the move. That is too
bad because I worked hard on getting the sound effects into the film. If anyone has any suggestions about that I would be happy to hear them!
I hope that answers your questions. Please let me know if you have others.
Thank you again for your encouraging words!
