AFS Video Project

Thanks to BabelFish for helping me film the IC, TF, and Dreg portions of "How to ram a friendly bomber" - we tried to do the rix part, but I suck at ramming rix bombers.

Giga, Bios, Belters, GT, Omicron still need to be filmed.

I got some good filming done today. I now have video for dodging fire while killing a miner with an int, and proxing an enemy bomber (using both eyed rix scouts and cloaking bios scouts, film from both f3 view and scout-cockpit view). Unfortunately my nan was too good so I couldn't kill my bomber on prox1, but that prox3 rix scout hurt.

Can someone give me the exact formula alleg uses to calculate drag in terms of velocity? I'd like to make an accurate graph for the basic ship control video.

Any suggestions on whether I should bother with an explanation of the minimap, its use, and how to interpret it, or is that covered well enough in the AFS reading?

Minimap would be more valuable than the rather esoteric topic of space drag, I would think.

Yes, yes yes yes and yes, please do. I myself would love a refresher course on minimap reading, and some people learn better when they actually see stuff happening. Anyways, I can do narrations if you want. I don't have a particularly great voice, but I believe I pronounce things clearly. Also, if you need a semi-experienced int, I'm available from 4pm-10pm MST on most days. Just message me on MSN whenever you want to film, and if I'm on I'll be down.

A note to all you orbiting nans: large stationary objects such as bases can and will pod you if you ram into them sideways.

Yup, maybe mention how to use it a bit to get around the map.

So I'll work on that one.

Current tasks:
1) Clean up/refilm the sig/scan explanation video with aptest

2) finish editing/narrating the sig/scan explanation video

3) finish filming the "how to ram a friendly bomber" series (so far I have IC, TF, Dreg)

4) get the first-person-view of open-air proxing bombers (both with rix regular scouts and bios cloaking scouts)

5) edit/narrrate "open-air proxing bombers"

5) Get some new video of shooting a miner while dodging fire (sorry Ryujin and Dangeruss - that was an excellent show you put on, but my fraps wasn't running.

I did however record the post-run chat

)

6) write the script for the general use of the minimap (including basic interpretation of what's happening in the game) - this will require me to play in a big game, but sit there and record stuff that's happening instead of actually flying.

7) Film the "basic ship control" video (the script is done, just needs filming)

8) write/film scripts for probing basics (where to place probes), miner D with a scout (regular and against sig2/3 SFs), "how to run away", and shooting nans when defending against a forced bomb/htt run (too bad I didn't have fraps running last night - I took out 3.5 nans against a forced HTT run. Would have been good footage)

9) go through juckto's "you suck at alleg" - specifically the parts on missile behaviour.

To reiterate what I've said before: Just because I started this project doesn't mean I have to be the one who does all the writing/filming/editing/stuntwork. Please feel free to help out. Write scripts, post the google docs here. Grab a written script, a couple friends, and film it (if you have fraps). I don't need to be responsible for everything here.
