I haven't played IL2 in over a year. I forgot how old it looks. LOL. Requiem is a great piece of film. Conceptually I like it. It tells a unique story, but I don't find the editing engrossing. The choice to use Aaron Neville's Ave Maria was interesting and works quite well.
There was one great IL2 video I remember watching, but I can't recall the title. In one scene there were two pilots battling in a horizontal scissors. As the planes passed each other the view would shift from one plane's cockpit (an I-16?) to the other (a BF-109). At first it was like, WTF? Then it was a stroke of editing genius. I really enjoyed that clip.
It could even have been one of Dart's online battles edited down. He used to do some fun clips.

think i remember watching that Knightgames, dam...what was it called?
I'm recalling more details of it and the more I do it seems it was a Dart production. I may have even copied it to disc. The opening has the allies approaching the water (Kuban map?). They are flying low along the ground when the final hill suddenly breaks away to reveal the ocean and the oncoming enemies. If memory serves me it was P-40s and LaGGs verses Me-109s and possibly an FW or two. This was a long time ago.
I'm going to see if I still have it on CD. I may have thrown it out in the great purge. If I have it I'll see if it was in fact Dart's... and try to upload it. (If Dart object I understand.)

The maker of this video posted a download link to a full HD version of the movie in the banana forum:

Thanks you again and FSM community and all CoD fans - and right, I'm the same guy who once make also a few IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 + mods short films in YouTube, as you has already been guessed.
Hope so also CoD team is able to correct some graphics problems - I mean, mainly primary shadow effect flicker problems. But anyway big thanks of course also CoD devoloper team (patches have come at a good pace). I waiting this great new sim long time, like many others il-2 series fans to here.
Yes, I make more CoD / BoB short film fun in near future.
And if someone want to see also the orginal video (better full HD quality) so this can download it here.
Fantastic, loved the flyby shake view, we don't happen to have that ingame do we? he he
Yeah, that was great. However, what is remarkable is that Barfly actually used very few video editing tricks. This is pretty much how CoD actually looks. He only used the shake cam and a few focusing edits here and there. Only big addition was those fabulous pilot animations, but you won't see those when you yourself sit in the cockpit...
i thought the vid was good, not great..but good. 3 stars

Would either of you please post links to the COD movies/videos which you have found which are better. I'm sure many of us would enjoy seeing them. Thanks much.

Great clip, with some very nice angles.Dramatic music always helps to elevate what is happening.
One of my faves is still Bratya/Brother.The stalingrad story about the two brothers,one on the ground and one in the air,combines CoD and IL2.The sequences and editing are nowhere as near as good as Come with Me or the above posted clip, but the story he (mrvh?) is getting across in the movie is really well done the music fits nicely.
Another i really liked was I Promise.Great story and some epic scenes with a sad ending.
The Raf 662 recruitment movie was really done as well,plenty of action and very dramatic.When the 190's enter it is like oooh here come the wolves! Was probably the only one (imo) that worked well with the Hans Zimmer pirates of the caribean theme music which got flogged to death for a while by movie makers.
Come with me,Brother,raf662 and I promise are the ones i will show people to give them the gist of what a sim is about.

Several of Dart's videos were uploaded by abadgaem last year. It might be one of the those that he uploaded that you are trying to find. http://www.youtube.com/user/abadgaem
Dart knows about it. This comment of his is in the channel comments area.
