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.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
