I think it's brilliant, practically done. The music now fits very well. However, we should definitely try to splice in some more short clips during the dragging bits, like what you suggested.
--- Quote ---I have a few ideas for additional, short clips (no longer than a few seconds) that the intro could jump to and then back to the main video:
- A shot of an alien hand pushing buttons/controls on a console with a display screen showing a picture of the approaching Earth (A view from inside one of the alien ships, in other words)
- A close-up shot of a single carrier opening its doors to deploy some ships toward the Earth
- A brief view of an alien face (mostly just the eyes) as an alien inside one of the ships stares at the instruments and controls in front of them and the Earth on their display screen.
There are, of course, many other possible shots that would look good, these are just off the top of my head - I will say that if the final intro had more than just the same camera view continuously, it would make the intro movie look a lot more interesting.
--- End quote ---
All of these are solid ideas, and I'd certainly like to see at least some of them in the vid. Another possibility would be my earlier suggestion, a shakycam shot between two UFOs gradually entering the atmosphere, with sound effects slowly fading in as the atmosphere around the UFOs/camera becomes more dense.
Regards,
Winter
BTAxis:
I had a thought for a couple of cuts that may or may not work. These cuts are to Earth rather than to the aliens.
- A large dark room on Earth, with a large display in the background. The display shows a wireframe Earth and four red blinking dots. Warnings flashing on and off here and there, people running to and fro.
- A PHALANX base hangar, its roof opening up and a Stiletto interceptor appearing from within as the lift raises it up. The Stiletto lifts off and disappears towards the horizon.
Also, I imagined these cuts to be smaller than the rest of the movie, displayed in a corner or to the side, so you never really lose track of the Carriers as they move in on Earth.

Sitters, I forgot to mention this before:
Before you start putting together more short clips, would it be possible for you to render them in a lossless codec instead of lossy Xvid, to make the editing easier?
My personal favorite that my software can work with is one called Lagarith - it's open-source, clean, and it is at:
http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html
I can also edit Huffyuv files (I think, I might have to double-check).
EDIT: BTW, the final result will still be in Xvid like the last versions, until the final version of the intro is made, which will be in ROQ (unless anyone has any objections).

No problem for me, I have installed the codec ( works fine ).
