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.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      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.
