<img src=newicons/icon_hog.gif border=0 align=middle>Ok, I got the video I put together uploaded for those of you who wish to view it. It is, however, a 50 Meg file, so I would recomend broadband...<img src=newicons/Whatever_anim.gif border=0 align=middle>
Here's the link

http://rapidshare.de/files/7051495/A10_ ... t.wmv.html

When I went there to make sure it was there, after going to this address, scroll down to the bottom of the page, click the free button, (wait 30-45 seconds for some dumb reason, it counts it down for you), then click the download link near the bottom of the page.

Awesome job HogDog, ok to pass that on? I know a recruiter who'd love to use it.

Thanks, guys. Glad you liked it. Anybody can use it for whatever purpose they see fit.
However, I noticed listening to it that there are a couple of skips in the audio. The version I have doesn't have that, and is also in a little better quality.
If you are interested, I can burn it to a DVD that you can play on your regular home DVD player for TV, where the picture is full screen. That is as long as the DVD player can play DVD+R's. It will be in regular DVD format, though.
So let me know either here or by email, and I can snail-mail 1 to ya. I would definitely recomend that for the recruiter. The DVD is a better quality.

HogDog...great job! I know how hard a good video is to make and you hit it pretty close with this one. A few small problems but over-all outstanding work and I will share it will the A-10 community here at Hill.

thanks for posting it.

AWESOME!!!<img src="http://www.geocities.com/crewchiefsmakeithappen/grd.gif" border=0><img src=newicons/bounce.gif border=0 align=middle>

They say that the only two things certain in life are death and taxes. I prefer them in that order.

Hey Dice, you being the "veteran" videographer, and this being my 1st, thanks, and I would love to here your ideas for improvement. <img src=newicons/bounce.gif border=0 align=middle>
There were a few errors that I believe happened during the xfer into .wmv, plus I had to actually speed it up by 2% to get it under 50Meg, due to website limitations.
But again, any input to better it would be great!!
And let the Hill folks know that I have a great deal of respect for them, and for what they do! (this goes for the non-Hill hog community as well) Videos like this tend to make life around the hog look like all fun, but I know that is NOT the case!
Must be 24hrs of BS for every hr of fun.
Anybody else feel free to chip in too. I imagine that there were probably some innaccuracies in it as far as being "hawgthentic".
Open to all criticism, both constructive and non!!!!

Nice work on the video!! My 6 y/o was very impressed and I know my husband will be, too

You should submit it to the Military.com video section!

Thanks to all our Vets for preserving our FREEDOM!

Dude, that video is great! I have watched it now probably 15 times and I'm sure there will be more. Thanks!

JenW and WHAT, thanks, and welcome to the forum.
As far as posting it elsewhere, I probably won't for the simple fact that I have dial-up, and that video takes 7plus hrs to upload. Anybody else wants to spread it around, they are free to do so as they see fit.... <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

HogDog, I do want to amend my above comments and say you made an outstanding video. The "problems" I saw before were due to the 2% speed-up of the video and not with editing.

The are a couple of weapons clips used in the video which are not weapons used by the A-10 (like the GBU-15) but, I have also did this for the sake of the video itself.

Ugly But Well Hung

Thanks Dice, I have found 1 editing error, a 1-frame blip between scenes, and Yeah I knew there were a couple of weapon inaccuracies, and at least 1 explosion that, unless it hit a fuel storage tank, was a little large for a general hog-sized bomb, but like you said, it was for the dramatics.
Thanks everybody for all the feedback on it. If I could find enough different footage, I would be working on another, but it would be too repetitive.

Not sure if it was my upload or when I downloaded it to check it, but are there a few audio skips in it when anybody else watches it? I would like to think it was just my download, but with my luck it is probably that way in the website's file.

Does anyone have this video saved? I tried the link and it wouldn't allow me to download it anymore.

Hogfixer,

Uploaded a copy of it for you at -

http://www.flightchief.com/videos/A10_Kickstart.wmv

As stated it's a rather large file (50,890 kb) and took approx 25 minutes to upload at a connection rate of 348.17kbs. So depending on your connection it may take a few minutes to load

enjoy

Hey guys-
Sorry about the link. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> Not sure what has happened with it. I can't get it to download from it now either, though it has been downloaded over 700 times..... will try to look into it and get it fixed.. <img src=newicons/bounce.gif border=0 align=middle>

Ok, I think I have it figured out....
If you can't get to the video directly after the 45 second countdown, the website does have a certian Mb/hr download limit, and occasionaly that gets exceeded. Try back a little later.
Also, sometimes I have seen after the countdown ends, there is a window that it tells you to enter a certain short number code. If the window appears but it doesn't tell you the code, try again, maybe a little later. Otherwise, it should give you a code to enter, enter it and you should be able to download it.
Sorry this can be kind of a pain, this is the first time I have uploaded anything to a website, and didn't know of anywhere else to post it.
Although it appears Lil Hitler was kind enough to post it elsewhere---- Thanks Lil Hitler!! Much appreciated!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

HogDog,

no problem always willing to help out. If it's alright with you I'll keep the link active in case there's a problem with the rapidshare website.

That is a great video. Just love it!

That small graphic with the pilot riding the GAU-8A, I have that sticker stuck on an ammo can. Great Graphic, but my old sticker is so worn you can't recognize it. Where did you get the pic?

Thanks again and a truly awe inspiring video. You Rock HogDog!

Got that graphic off of a sticker as well. It has been one of my favorites since I got it. In fact, around that time, my parents let me paint that graphic on my bedroom wall! Can't say I remember where I got that sticker, as I have had it since about 1986 or 87.
I put it on a hardcover book I have that has a lot of info about the A-10 on it(old info now though), for safekeeping. The book also has a paper cover on it, so that has kept the hardcover part in great shape. (And the sticker). <img src=newicons/icon_hog.gif border=0 align=middle>
