Hi all, the storyboard for FG Promotional Video has been completed.

To access, you can download it as a PDF document here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ZNTV ... sp=sharing

All aircraft and locations are only suggestions, feel free to change as much as you wish. However, do make your changes visible by underlining the changes.

For minor changes you can write it here.

STORYBOARD WILL BE FINALISED THIS COMING WEDNESDAY.

I can't read pg. 2, it's all jumbled up.
Have you got Microsoft Office and have you got a Microsoft Account?

[Foxtrot15]

Hi sorry no. I've changed it to PDF.

For those who want to download a copy for large amounts of editing, here's the link :https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ZNTVhKBMcQREhwdThReHVIX00/view?usp=sharing

It's still a little buggy in terms of the title rows and music rows not place properly, so please refer to the PDF version in the previous posts.

Sorry about the trouble but this is the problem when you try to convert from .pages to .docx

Here are my thoughts on it:

1. I like almost all ideas very much, individually.

2. For the "airliners formation" shot, perhaps consider a shot with only Boing aircraft, but from large to small. So maybe a 737 behind a 757 behind a 777 behind a 747, all with the same livery.

3. I would probably rearrange the sequence of events. I think having an airshow at the top is hitting a high note a bit early. To me it would be a better buildup if we got to see a semi-busy airport at dawn, see a couple of planes takeoff, and then towards the middle we get to the airshow. Perhaps you could place it along with your different scenario shots?

"Sometimes You'll Be By Yourself" (single plane shot)
"Sometimes You'll Fly With Others" (one or two escorts)
"MANY others" air show exhibit

something like that.....

4. I still would like to see ATC service in action, with either OpenRadar and/or ATC pie screenshots and communications.

Lydiot,

I was thinking of one side Boeing, such as the 747 in the lead, followed by 777, 737, while Airbus on the other side, 380 followed by 340, 320. This would be more "fair" so the Boeing and Airbus fans wouldn't be so disappointed.

I also get your concerns, but in the middle is a little awkward right? You'll get all the "Battle the odds", cut, "Overcome mountains", cut, Sometimes you'll be by yourself, cut, sometimes you'll fly with others, cut, many other, and hold for a long time, before picking up the pace again. How about at the end or do we need to massively rearrange the script?

4. I still would like to see ATC service in action, with either OpenRadar and/or ATC pie screenshots and communications.

I did mention a few shots of ATC and ATC-pie, but do you mean for the entire video?

3:I would suppose Foxtrot is trying to hold the viewer. Audience retention. Then the main content comes.
My own tips:Change some narration:
Along the way,you'll...->You'll(Bad connection between negative and positive)
Fly far->And fly even further(better connection with finale row)
4: What will the last slide be? A Black screen?

so do one for each... or just mix them up somehow? really, do we need to be so ""PC"" and ""everyone's a winner, even those that lost (aka scored less in) the game""??

I think that just presenting Boeing aircraft would not only be disappointing for Airbus fans, but also give the impression that there are no Airbus aircraft in FG. So just have them fly in a row like in the storyboard...

Thanks for hitting the point.

And your narration is definitely and improvement. Will try to incorporate that into the storyboard.

For the last slide I kinda ran out of ideas, so it'd be great if you guys could provide suggestions. I'm human too

text in a still, I imagined. The picture in my head has an Ubuntu(Google) theme

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions, keep them coming!

Also, you could consider listing out the must have aircraft, e.g. Space Shuttle, B777, F15... as well as must-have airports, scenery, addons, AI...

Please remember that the storyboard will be finalised on Wednesday, all suggestions afterwards will be much harder to implement and most likely waved off with a word of thanks.

Thanks Parnikkapore, but it was my mistake. I gave him the wrong link...

Lydiot, how about if I put the airshow at the front, then after a few transitions, use the shuttle launch as the high note? Or vice-versa?
