If this is in the wrong place, too bad.

I was really bored today, and while working on my sciencefair project (airfoils lol), I discovered how easy and fun it is to make a movie with screenshots.

So I decided that there was no better way to waste my time than to make a little video.

At first, I was going to do something with the Tomcat and "Highway to the Danger Zone", but I realized that I suck at filming.

Then I thought I would make it like a flip book, because thats how I am making the video with sci fair(you take a screenie and play it real quick, about 30fps, and voila! moving picture).  But I realized that that would fill up my computer faster than a marmalade bomb fills up a city.

So I took the screenshots from the hall of fame, added some titles and transitions, put them to a song (youll find it to be a fitting song), and, well, I made a movie!

My first FS movie, and my last unless you can convince me otherwise

Weeeeeeeee are the champions, my friends!!

Great video Jake.

And yes, make more videos..."Highway to the danger zone" would be an awesome track to add to it.

Now THATS was cool!

That is GREAT!!!  ;D

I knew you would use that song, though, when you said "appropriate song" I knew it would be We Are Thye Champions.

Still, that's great Jake, are you going to update it every month?
Cheers  ;)

Great Idea nice video!

Ill update it when theres alot of more winners, and Ill need another song.  The problem is I cant record video worth a dam, but maybe Ill take a bunch of screenshots of the tomcat and make a tribute video

O.K. I'm convincing you to continue making movies!! That was a really great piece of work Jake. "sticky" quality stuff!  :)

I relized that I can only edit.  I made a little video of the tomcat.  Ill post it when its ready, but its basically a 20 sec flip book of takeoff and flyby, with a minute of credits  I had to make it really long to fit the music.  The one thing I really like is how I edited it.   It starts out coming infrom black into a really old movie style, then slowly ges newer.  Then there is a pause and fade as it transitions to the second sequence, and as the second sequence closes it gets older.  I did it to symbolize how the tomcat is old, so at takeoff, the first part of any flight, the film is extremely old.  Then, to symbolize it going away ( ), I made the film get old then dissappear.

Here we go:
