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.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
