That intro is like something out of a Clancy novel, I got chills!

i see where gaijin got their trailer idea

Which one exactly?

Incredible. The Comms in the background makes everything a whole lot more epic. And the Su-27 launch was incredible. Edit: I also can’t stress how good that shot following the catapult thingy as is retracts is. That was like on the level of a high budget movie. Incredible job!

Mate, the shot composition, cinematography, and production values in this video are INCREDIBLE. Well done to you and thank you for your efforts -- they are appreciated

[@ranger6609]

The begging literally gave me chills! For some reason DCS cinematics always do especially when done correct like this

[@theheatseekers8705]

Thought I was watching a movie the whole time, completely immersed. Just wondering what do you use to edit and add texts I’m thinking of making films like this myself

[@LAWest]

I use adobe aftereffects solely for the text, however for the money you're best off just compromising. To edit I use Cyberlink Power Director. However as with everything It has its limitations, so just research and see what's best for you. Good luck if you decide to make a film!

Tear down the bridges, Drain all the rivers. Burn down the townhall - There are no winners. Reload the weapons, Sharpen the scissors. Cut off the feathers, Pull all the triggers... Dude, the intro gave me the chills. Insanely good.

[@LAWest]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@Vipera_Alba]

Brilliant cinematography, the storytelling and the suspense is absolutely one of the best! Fantastic job mate!

[@JorgeHFJ]

Amazingly edited, mate!! A piece of art!!

[@l.lehrer7124]

I really dig when someone can make a really good cinematic episode - but this!? This was phenomenal !!

[@thomasbouvier3203]

Really... Really! Really great job! Musics, scenes, writings... Everything is awesome. Congrats... ^^ Now i guess, we only need a campaign to reproduce this :p

[@flightstatic4662]

this has got to be one of my favorite videos of all time, i keep coming back to it

[@pugachevskobra5636]

DCS content creators are some of the most talented people that I've ever seen in any medium. Your work can easily rival multi million dollar productions from billion dollar franchises. And I've seen a lot of DCS cinematics but you're easily at the very top and you deserve way more subs and attention. I literally goosebumps every single time I watch this.

[@robadzso]

The new standard of excellence in DCS cinematics. Simply sublime. Thank you.

[@satainful]

Purely incredible. Visuals, sound, story everything. Absolutely nailed the atmosphere and "weight" of the movie. Awesome.

[@misc3741]

you're vids are insane! i can't believe the algorithm hasn't given you more enjoyment with subs!

[@lnnatzscho4913]

I just love this cinematic! I think you did and incredible job and wanted to say that you have pure talent!

[@Mikelaw709]

OOOHHH got some CHILLS with that GBU racing the missile segment, Good work dude.

[@Sjelton]

That intro really sold it! Nice work!

[@terrylaven]

That was intense! Great camera work and sound!

[@alexviper9773]

“Copy” 3:28 that’s me!!!

[@skylinefsproductions]

The Music, The Sound Effects, The Visuals. WOW. This is oscar worthy content.

[@Mistjeager]

This cinematic summarizes in a nutshell what I want to do in DCS. As a learner pilot, that is my goal. One day. For that incredible video you have earned my sub. Looking forward to more! :D

[@dylannix4289]

Truly baffled by my KZbin recommendations today, this video is a piece of art

[@aarnoman1088]

That tracking shot with the steam catapult is pure gold. Awesome composition, music, sound throughout...by far one of the best cinematics made in DCS. Well done

[@Its_Mango]

I can't even count how many times I've watched this. Such a great cinematic!!!

[@canadaking5509]

So what I can see is War Thunder copied this cinematic for their trailer lol

[@alwayscurious3357]

Gonna give it to gaijibbles that it's a pretty good teaser tho. Now I miss playing that game...

[@acecarpenter502]

The person who makes the warthunder trailers is pandramodo

[@thunder6252]

This is actually incredible. So well done, please do create more!

[@meemslide3818]

War with Iran is suicide, Be in your dream just like this video, But your video is good as a DCS cinematics, I like it.

[@thesteaksaignant]

Amazing job! I love seeing those DCS shorts The only thing that could be improved in my humble opinion is the color grading, it looks like the default dcs look and I believe you could give it a more cinematic tone. Keep up with the great work!

[@LAWest]

Thanks! And I may start playing around with the colour settings, especially as the new editor I use has way more options for that sort of stuff. Thanks for the constructive criticism and I’ll see how it goes!

[@dennyrulos4847]

This is truly amazing, please keep doing what you do!

[@ja1cspikes]

Bruh you got some skills! This was fantastic

[@jnln]

Is this a trailer for a movie?! Dam never seen a DCS cinematic go to these levels. Nice one!

[@KyleCowden]

The fact that a sim has graphics and A.I. that you can create cinematic episodes boggles the mind. A long way from the Microprose days.

[@Cult1022]

Cool trailer, maybe a bit too "America wins, episode 644433.2"

[@LAWest]

True, looking back I wish I had had a mig splash an 18 but unfortunately at the time the music didn’t allow it (not enough time) thanks for the feedback!

[@steph4050]

Awesome video L.A. west. You do know how to set up a mood. Continue like that and you'll be paid by video game producers to do preview videos. Great work!

[@Cailean556]

This was a pretty engaging piece. I liked it, save one detail. As much as I have faith in the quality of training and technological supremacy of the United States armed forces, I don't think they'd come out of an engagement like that without losing a plane or two. I was waiting for one of those MiG-29s to splash a Hornet then get taken out, or an F-14 to make an appearance to take out that E-2.

[@LAWest]

cailean_556 I was going to involve a hornet being splashed from the start until I just ran out of space in the video (not enough music left)
