For those waiting for the video to process, you can also download it from my website from the link above.

Bold move doing the video that way. Couldn't decide if I liked it or not at first, but you get two thumbs up from me.

Damn now you got me tempted to buy NA Blue pacific.

Yes, I took a very strange approach to the video. I really wanted to get the views up there for the release, and I remember seeing some old Enya videos back in the day that were completely backwards. I wanted to somewhat emulate that style. I hope it worked. There was some skepticism I think at first, but so far everyone seems happy with it.

We'll see!

While I don't have a bias opinion about your videos (i.e. I think they are all great); I must say that this is some of your most imaginative "concept" work I've seem in the FS video-making world. Seeing aircraft go backward does catch one off guard at first... However, when that theme "sinks in" to one's mind and the 2D-cartoon to 3D-FSX dimenional flips occur, one really get the feeling that it is about differing dreams coming together (like from a design concept to its inception). Very Very

Very Very Nicely Done!

But, I'll have to go see it again a few times to let PNW sink into my conscience mind as I was too busy being dazzled by all the effects the first time around (just like when I saw Star Wars Esp. 1->III

).

Also, you've captured my FSX Dream of all kinds of flying quite nicely in this video...

Now, perhaps, I'm not so "crazy" about purchasing good products after all.

PS: Enya just keeps on inspiring...doesn't she? She's a lovely Lady, with Lovely music, and a lovely role model to emulate.

Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
From,
James F. Chams

Yes, it does take a bit to sink in. The first few scenes even leave myself with a bit of "what the heck?" feeling. It was designed from the ground up to catch people off guard. I had a hard time explaining the concept to people.

But, I'll have to go see it again a few times to let PNW sink into my conscience mind as I was too busy being dazzled by all the effects the first time around (just like when I saw Star Wars Esp. 1->III

LOL. Thanks James. This song grew on me. When I first heard it, I thought it was "good" but not great. Now, I love it. Very trippy song.

Also, you've captured my FSX Dream of all kinds of flying quite nicely in this video...

About the only thing I didn't include much of was larger aircraft flying. I originally intended to, and even had some shots filmed for it. They didn't cut because I ran out of time.

Among the scenes that also didn't make it was the SibWings Bird Dog landing on a frozen lake deep in the BC mountains.

PS: Enya just keeps on inspired...doesn't she? Lovely Lady, Lovely music, and lovely role model to emulate.

I have always been a big Enya fan. Haven't listened to it lately, but I still love the songs. Perfect chill out.

I applaud your way of seeking a different approach to FS video creation !

Cheers,

took me a little while.

Don't wish to offend, but I think the product itself would have been better served by not distracting the viewer with backward-flying aircraft.

Having watched it once, its the strangeness of it that sticks in the mind, rather than the virtues of the product it is intended to promote...and thats not what you want, is it.

Again, no offence meant.

Yep - as "art" it was great and very entertaining

but to see the product I would have to "enjoy" the art again and again to catch bits.

6297J · February 28th, 2010, 01:27

I have to agree. It's nice work if you like that sort of thing but I'd really rather just watch a straight forward and honest video of the product with no distracting theme music and no 'filmic' post-processing. It's all a little bit self consciously arty (which is the worst kind) and makes me squirm in my seat a little. There are other videos and screenshots (albeit over-processed and 'Rex'ified' as usual) over at the publishers forum if you want to see what it might actually look like on your machine.

***Cleartheprop*** · February 28th, 2010, 01:28

Very poetic video, it goes well beyond a promotional video. I really enjoyed every second of it! Thanks!
..and BTW, the product doesnt seem too bad...

**CodyValkyrie** · February 28th, 2010, 02:09

For those who don't particularly like it, don't forget I made this one too:

gajit · February 28th, 2010, 02:55

I admire your skill Cody to produce either of them

6297J · February 28th, 2010, 02:56

Again, very nice in a Tony Scott sort of way but it doesn't show me enough of what it will be like in reality. I don't have 'isn't the world lovely' music playing in the background when I'm in FSX, I don't view FSX from third party camera angles, I don't view FSX in oversaturated and tweaked colouring. I could probably appreciate a video like this more many months after the product has been released but when it's a new product then I just want to see the blinkin' product.
It's intriguing though for sure and it does make me want to see more
