Heh, well there are others that deserve that title too! (<a href="http://www.wingmenproductions.com/content/crew.html" target="_blank">here are some of them</a>)<br />
<br />
Thanks for the interview by <a href="http://www.pookymedia.com/" target="_blank">Pooky Amsterdam</a> for the World Gaming Executives Magazine 5.<br />

<br />
His father watched the film and said "That’s more or less how it was". As his son, Geoff807, commented, "he went through it all, he’s rightly critical if things on TV re WW2 aren’t properly researched & accurate – which this clearly is. I think it’s excellently done".<br />
<br />
Good to have this old one "officially" approved, and added to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Sutton_Bridge#Pilot_Gunnery_Instructors_Training_Wing" target="_blank">RAF Sutton Bridge Wiki</a> (thanks, Geoff).<br />

The script has been written by Kate "kkffoo" Fosk and Carlos "EAF51 Nepe" Garcia for an interesting mix of human interest and technical accuracy. Second Life is a great engine for building sets and creating actors while IL2 is one of the best flight sims for representing WW2 aircraft.

Many of these films were hosted on different sites for downloading which have since become unavailable, and also there were very few high quality streaming sites available back then.<br /><br />So, after 250,000 hits on the website, we decided to give the site a brand new and modern style and also to create a channel on Youtube for easy viewing of all the videos in HD where available.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flightsimmachinima.com/">http://www.flightsimmachinima.com/</a><br /><br />Please take some time to look through the fantastic, moving and entertaining films that have been made from IL2 and other simulators since the very first days when amateur moviemakers realized just what they could achieve all on their own and inexpensively with a game engine, a computer and some good ideas.<br /><br />This process is now widely recognized as the art of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinima">machinima</a>, and we sincerely hope that many of you will begin or continue making great flight sim movies.<br /><br />Thanks to all on the team for keeping the flag flying - Russell (Joe90) Boyd, Chris (Bbloke) Hunton, Steve (Monty-Dan) Worsley, Bruce (Wiley/Doolittle81) Wallace, Sjon (GL2) Stevens, Michael (310thFalcon) Lockhart and Tinus (biltongbru) le Roux.Russell Boydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03594516950828356996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954296890273147000.post-43297642582066261052009-07-24T23:32:00.007+01:002009-07-25T00:47:51.391+01:00Migrating old memories and web pages and contemplations on what is realAbout bloody time!<br /><br /><a href="http://russellboyd90.blogspot.com/">http://russellboyd90.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />I finally got around to moving my old static and non-interactive <a href="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/russellboyd/">ntlworld </a>website to <a href="http://russellboyd90.blogspot.com/">blogger</a>. I forgot just how much change has happened over the last 6 years, while moving across some old pages.<br /><br />We all started somewhere with online life - I'm sure a lot of you are of the same generation that can remember the days when there was no Internet. Yep, can you believe that!? Can you remember how the hell we got by 20 years ago without having Google ready to answer any questions, and the people we met were the people living in the same town?<br /><br />When did you become hooked online?<br /><br />I exclude the early years when I tried to play Duke Nukem 3d with my neighbours by modem to modem direct link. For me I discovered online gaming with the <a href="http://russellboyd90.blogspot.com/2009/07/1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0.html">Munky Clan</a>, an America's Army squad. It all came clear how fantastic and fun it can be to immerse yourself in a virtual reality, as it was not just the gaming but also the building of a clan and new friends. The naivety of these first days also led to major bust ups and emotional stress.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisi1U6GulACtvgmS3kJmSG9KuGbGMLUj4NvcsCuFythw_6dToYV2SW_aFwVDHhU3iVtkK-bgizTAXdUWnHFwQ4P0lBHM5-zjdJdqtV9FQq_yh6brrSLn75QWGaABvY7k1Y8L903TXSoL8/s1600-h/perception.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisi1U6GulACtvgmS3kJmSG9KuGbGMLUj4NvcsCuFythw_6dToYV2SW_aFwVDHhU3iVtkK-bgizTAXdUWnHFwQ4P0lBHM5-zjdJdqtV9FQq_yh6brrSLn75QWGaABvY7k1Y8L903TXSoL8/s320/perception.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362164612133499410" border="0" /></a>Then to be more serious about online friendships and gaming by joining a <a href="http://www.europeanaf.org/">Virtual RAF Squadron</a> to reenact WW2 air battles. You would think a bunch of guys could get on OK, but even then there are some problem individuals, though much easier to deal with in a virtual democratic militaristic group. 10 years and still going strong, EAF.<br /><br />In the vast virtual worlds of today like Second Life, we ask ourselves is this real or not. If real means emotional involvement, then Second Life is real, as real as America’s Army clans were 6 years ago.Russell Boydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03594516950828356996noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954296890273147000.post-29774819177015949792009-07-23T16:31:00.003+01:002009-07-23T16:57:17.208+01:00Lights Out - a short horror film directed by Chris BoydThis made by my kid, Chris, along with his Media Studies class in their final year at Dunoon Grammar School, 2009.<br /><br />I don't ever remember school being this much fun!<br /><br /><object width="420" height="264"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-alKeFfEvEI&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-alKeFfEvEI&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="420" height="260"></embed></object>Russell Boydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03594516950828356996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954296890273147000.post-80816483579426209312009-07-22T01:21:00.005+01:002009-07-22T01:26:47.181+01:00IL2 Sturmovik – new life for an 8 year old engine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZmwS1EAXWdszxHdOBeOll5_0FGdcF_j0gtbXDLlUUuLqev7xVA2KPBYwq0vMQ_6W8JfBhdl1nxr5zzDNzX-Z0UuZljfa1LjoyBLPcs10Y_s0wJON12R9N1KX5119DCuLtNFO6FcTk-BA/s1600-h/il2ultrapackmoddemo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 260px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZmwS1EAXWdszxHdOBeOll5_0FGdcF_j0gtbXDLlUUuLqev7xVA2KPBYwq0vMQ_6W8JfBhdl1nxr5zzDNzX-Z0UuZljfa1LjoyBLPcs10Y_s0wJON12R9N1KX5119DCuLtNFO6FcTk-BA/s320/il2ultrapackmoddemo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361073698439519298" border="0" /></a>This short machinima piece shows how the latest mod Ultrapack version 1.7 has breathed new life yet again into an 8 year old combat flight simulator, IL2 Sturmovik, making it a viable engine for making films.<br /><br />This is a demo of a track, recorded first with the mods, then for comparison, without.<br /><br />No post processing was carried out.

And a putbackupagain.Youtube dropped another bomb on me. They must be getting good at dropping bombs with pinpoint accuracy, ahem.<br /><br />Yes, I know, I used copyrighted music for an old training video I made on how to use the Norden bombsight in IL2. It was way before there was any real concern that Youtube would eventually have a strop with Warners Music Group and decide to pull all their content off the site.<br /><br />My Bad.<br /><br />Also very irked as it had been one of my more popular videos, and was still getting hits and comments even though the tutorial was over 2 years old. I still get messages asking for more information on how to drop bombs <span style="font-style: italic;">(sorry all if I don't reply to them all, it's just lack of time, but thanks for the interest. Best place to get help is in the forums then everyone can share and learn).</span><br /><br />Well, I guess I should put it up again without WMG music. It means losing some of the sound effects, but hopefully this will still be useful to enthusiastic bombardiers. And hey, at least it means I can do it in HD this time.
