Watch in HD, sounds and looks better. Made in FS9.​

Uncut soliloquy for the video: http://tinyurl.com/2955xag (Password: "sokmono", no quotes. Just uploaded the video, has to be converted.)
I'm sufficiently proud enough of this video to have the audacity to make a thread for it. Every year since 2008-2009, I've created a video for New Years, so I consider this a tradition now, a New Years "present". It may be late here, but it was uploaded on December 31/January 1. Sensible constructive criticism is appreciated, it helps me improve.
Long story short, I got this idea nearly two years ago while filming for another video (Air Turbulence). I just downloaded the excellent model of the Sabre at that time, and I had to make something for it. The idea developed over the months, and in the summer I finally wrote a screenplay and got someone, who I'm very thankful of, to voice the video. Most of the footage came together this December.
I've used some significant visual/audio meanings in the video that I'll disclose, here are some:
The time when the 747 takes off is 5:53 AM, 1953 being when the Korean War "ended" and returning to Korea after the war. The time when it stops is 11:11 AM, suggesting armistice, specifically in Korea.
The intro song shows that the Sabres, veteran and commander, and 747 are both facing the west; the 747 going to Korea. The veteran has "a feeling I get when I look to the west; and my spirit is crying for leaving".

Interesting story mate! I especially liked the way you presented the title of the film. There were several nice angles and shots in the film, however some of the panning looked a little jerky which takes away from the shot slightly, but the story is a touching one. I'm not very good at writing a script for voice actors myself. I have more of a dramatic vision for the shots. Perhaps one of these days we could collaborate on a project together combining our talents. I've got a preliminary plot for another Orbiter movie with voice acting in mind. Shoot me a PM if you're ever interested.

Thanks for the video and happy New Year wishes, keep it up! :)
 
^ Pretty much that. Very nice job, better than anything I could have made.

Thanks, Tex. As for voices, I'm poor at them of course, but I know two people who can. Collaborating is an interesting idea, I'll see in the PMs.
