Hi all


this is a new video I made based on the Moscow map. It features planes from BOS, BOM and BOK. The scenario is inspired by Dedicated Bomber Squadron usual encounters.

It is recommended to watch in full HD with the volume turned up.




cheers

IN-FREAKING-CREDIBLE!!!!!!!!


There is some very good camera panning and zooming work going on there. I'm impressed. Add in the great shot selection, sound effects, editing and one can see that Contrails is a beautiful piece of movie making. It also shows how much work and effort 1C et al have put into this game. KUDOS.


EDIT: The opening scenes with the contrails and tracer smoke reminds me of the animated film called "Paths of Hate." If that's what you were going for - well done.

Glad you enjoyed it guys.

@knightgames: you 've got a sharp eye. I didn't have paths of hate in mind when shooting this scene, hadn't seen it for quite some time. It was the last scene added to the video, although it is the intro. It came up when I was thinking of adding something that would go along with the title and give the viewers a glimpse of what comes at the end.

cheers

Wow, just wow! Really got my adrenaline pumping 👍

I've devoted the month reaquainting myself with IL2. Almost finished with the Stalingrad Career on the Russian side and plan Moscow on the German next. I spent years gushing superlatives at Rise of Flight. I am starting to feel the same passion for IL2 but feel stupid using the same spent phrases to explain the experience. When words fall short, find a good filmmaker.

Excellent - thank you for sharing posting that video!

I haven't played BoS since it first came out (I was one of those who "pre-bought" it). Was disappointed with many aspects of it back then. Tempted to get all the updates and give it a go again...

Hi airdoc. The contrails in the IL2 series are quite mesmerising and they inspired me too to make a little CLoD vid based on contrails and their beauty a few years back. I like your video - it's a well made piece.
