This is genuinely the greatest trailer/video I've seen for any game-related content ever. The editing, the shots, the audio... its incredible in every aspect. The VHS edits are phenomenal as well.
Wow ! Everything is soooo smooth ! The edit, the realness factor (the shot at 3:06 looks absolutely real !), and the god-like sound design, @LAWest shows us once again why he's the best cinematic creator in DCS.
each video leaves me thinking "the next one wont even come close to how great this one is" but every single time im proven wrong spectaculary. This video is going straight into my inspirations playlist, each video of yours is worth the wait every single time. My dude, never stop.
Everything. Is. Perfect. . . . . SERIOUSLY THE WHOLE THING IS OUTSTANDING!!! The images, the VHS rendering, the script, the music... People tend to forget the amount of time spent for the editing but this clip is another proof that if you're dedicated to something fully and aim for the highest results, you get something unique!
Hey man, your words mean far more than you can possibly know. As you said, a lot of editing goes into these videos and it goes without saying projects like this can reach ridiculous amounts out of time to complete. That being said, there’s a reason I do these videos, and other than passion, feedback like yours, by far, always make it worth it every single time. Can’t thank you enough for taking time to write your comment and I hope I can top your expectations next time. S!
@@LAWest you don't have to thank me :) I've been into editing for fun for the last few years (movies analysis etc) and I've always tried to stick to the highest standard possible. I've found another way to achieve my goals but I'll never turn my back on people out there who give up their days and nights, trying to offer the best content they can to anonymous internauts. May I ask which software you're using, by the way? Take care and again thank you for everything!
@@maverick2909 I use DaVinci Resolve and I cannot stress how good the software is. I’ve actually ended up purchasing the studio version but the base version is free AND there isn’t a catch, the fact it’s free feels wrong. What software are you using?
Everything in this video is perfect : the music, the sound, the radio voice, the vhs edit/transition, the edit,... 1:413:06 and 2:43 scene feel so real You can really feel the tension at 3:11
DCS looks so good that one of the best techniques to make captured video look like real world footage is to apply post processing to actually make it look worse (color saturation, film grain, etc.). Well done!
The king of cinematics is back! you're my inspiration for all of my cinematics, thank you for your work. I know how long it takes to make any cinematic, these must take you at least two weeks, great job.
Two-weeks™️ haha - thanks so much for the kind words and I’m glad I have inspired you in some way! Yea they take ages, but I love doing it - I’ll make that trade any-day S!
WOW just, WOW. I love the edit! you've improved alot. also note from me: please take your time to edit these videos and dont rush anything. I've been watching you for the past 3 years and your edits never fails to make me jaw dropped and amazed. Thank you for making these edits
Thank you so much! I don’t intend to rush whatsoever. They may take ages to create but I love every second (until my editor crashes haha) and it’s always worth it for comments like these! Thanks again
We can barely tell if this is a game (sim) footage or real one... DCS graphics are already fantastic, and this edit made it much more real. Great work, L.A. West and Eagle Dynamics!
Wow wow wow. Just an outstanding job all around! I loved the DEFCON one a while back for the cinematic and story, but the audio clips and how smoothly this all goes together is just phenomenal!
Phenomenal. And I can only sense the hours of editing that went into this with every merged shot, scene grab from footage, and other editing effects that went into this. Tip of the hat!
Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and for the kind words! Yea it takes a mammoth amount of time to produce these things yet I somehow find fun in it haha. But comments like these make the whole process worth it. Thank you. And keep up the great work on your side too S!
Amazing, you've motivated me to begin creating my own DCS cinematics. What you do is absolutely completely amazing; every time I watch one of your movies, my heart gets seized, and I find myself watching them repeatedly. I'm a film major in college, and sometimes I can't help but cry at how effectively you edit and present a story. Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm inspired to try something new. I know it will take time, but I'll be content with the effort I put into it. You are really inspiring, and I am so grateful to you. I watch this video multiple times a week, for real. Whether it be analyzing it for ideas or just plain enjoyment, you have a gift, and that gift is dedication and patience.
WOW this was fun to watch! I love the vfx and radio chatter, they really add to the atmosphere of a fast-paced and dangerous combat environment. Jolly good work!

I concur, holy shit the creative direction of this was absolutely genius
Very glad you enjoyed his work! He is very talented in making cinematic content!
Every time i see LA West or Adrian caparzo posting a video, I get goosebumps. Spectacular video!
Flattered that I’m in the same sentence as Adrian, thanks for the kind words
Wow !
Everything is soooo smooth !
The edit, the realness factor (the shot at 3:06 looks absolutely real !), and the god-like sound design, @LAWest shows us once again why he's the best cinematic creator in DCS.
The kill cam at 2:44 did it for me, specifically the puff of smoke just as the missile hits the target.
each video leaves me thinking "the next one wont even come close to how great this one is" but every single time im proven wrong spectaculary. This video is going straight into my inspirations playlist, each video of yours is worth the wait every single time. My dude, never stop.
Cannot thank you enough for the kind words! These videos are 100% worth it for these comments alone and I’m glad I’ve caused some inspiration S!
everyone talking about the video but no one talking about the music, what a banger 🔥🔥
I was in love too with it! Got the title?

@@Failincorporations thank you!✌🏻
The use of Top Gun sound effects prior to the MiG-28's appearance is just amazing
Outstanding work my friend! This is just phenomenal! Love it!

Really nice work my friend! :)
Thanks man, striving to reach the bar you set. S!
That was so well executed. Like holy s**it.
I like how you guys worked in the 'Top Gun' lock on sound effect with the F-14 targeting scene. Instant flash back to the movie. Nice job.
This was one of, if not the, best cinematics I have ever seen - for any game. I didn't want it to end!! o7 man. Incredible.
Wow, truly phenomenal cinematic! Everything is polished to a T. You are one of the legends when it comes to DCS cinematics.

Damn that was epic 😮
Me like, very nice job!
This is an amazing work, my guy!
And I have a thing to ask: what's the name of the music you're using?
‘Glitch in Reality’ by Karl Casey. Thanks for the kind words S!
Thanks, West. And you're welcome. Also, when watching it for the second time, the music fits so well in this video!
NATOWAVE vibes. I love it.
One of the best!
