Any video effects whizzes wanna take a crack at a quick thing?

So my film is getting featured on Time Warner Cable news next week and they want to air the promotional trailer, which I now realize is complete crap. I'm recutting it to include some of the footage we got of the helicopter in Georgia.

I have a single two-second shot of a helicopter coming in over the trees at a long distance. I'd like to multiply the helicopter by capturing it as an effect so the frame is full of them. Is anyone capable of capturing a graphic, converting into a file, and then composing them onto a two-second clip?

Original clip:

Zack Fox Chopper 1.mp4 (just opens in Quicktime)

Which I would like to look like this (though in motion, obviously)

Does anyone here have the capability of capturing a two-second graphic and simply multiplying it across the frame for that two-second duration? If so, can you get it done in a reasonable amount of time? (I would technically need it by Friday night if possible.) I can't offer poo for pay (I can't even get the damn movie funded) but I can give you postproduction team credits if you care about that. Or owe you a beer.

Hopefully pstall's cousin can help. I think it can be done, but would only be 2 seconds long like you said unless you looped it. Which would be noticeable. Is it really worth all the trouble? You're the director, sift through your footage and come up with a better option for the TWC piece than tryingto fudge something.

i'll be duplicating the chopper in post for the final cut of the film, but i'd like to get a similar cut for the promotional trailer since it'll help with the fundraising. it's a catch-22 here - i need a good trailer to get funding, but i need funding to pay for a pro-quality trailer. i'm making do with what i've got.

luckily it's a very simple cut and will provide a good vision for the film without breaking my very limited film budget and hopefully will land me some good publicity when it airs.

    • FA may or may not be the best option each time. You know as well as I do that the LT is the highest paid position on offense behind QB and WR. If you have cap concerns, it would be better to draft a quality LT and hold him for 3-4 years before you have to sign him to a long term (and expensive 2nd contract). I wouldn't want to acquire a run stuffing DT in FA if I could get a younger one much cheaper in the draft.  Let's say no good Safties are on the market when prior to drafting. Once again you'd go to the draft. FA is a good way to feel out the roster prior to the draft, but it's possible to REACH there too. FO's usually end up over playing guys (at least at certain positions) who have already peaked. Besides, you always have to consider that the team that let them go didn't think they were worth the price they were asking to retain them. That certainly applies to our defense. We could draft the BPA at any level of our defense and immediately improve our team. A stud on the line beside DB would help the the run and pass defense. Our LB core needs a thumper/impact player at any position. We need another CB to play alongside JC. We have yet to see a Safety on our roster significantly impact a game this year.
    • Maybe Rod will change it up and slot Bussi in net. Why risk the inevitable injury to Freddie this early in the season against a team that will likely win regardless.  Just show up and play to win, that's all I ask. 
    • Well, I feel the same way about pharmaceutical, junk/fast food and political ads. They all cause active and KNOWN harm to the populace but we are the penultimate corrupt Western country, so that's just where we are as a society.
