*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by enoch.

This is a side light, but one of the reasons why I like the score to the first 5" of the video (Daybreak by Overwerk), even though I've heard it too many times (GoPro anyone?), is that it has dynamics to its structure; quiet (pianissimo) to loud (forte), constrained within its rhythms. Honestly, what makes me go crazy is music that never varies.

Oh, and jets. Lots of jets. That's good.

*promote

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, April 25th, 2015 11:53am PDT - promote requested by SFOGuy.

And it's one of the reasons I'm not upvoting this.

Daybreak and then fucking Sail?

FFS, in a video like this, where you're compositing other people's footage, you have two spaces to add your own take: the editing and the music. The editing is workmanlike, certainly nothing special and for the music they pick the two most overplayed pieces of music on the internet?

Down vote.

I know, I know.
Too much and too many times.

We can wish that more musicians would find that spark and give us more special music, eh?

That's what annoys me. There is so much great music out there, it's just lazy to use those tunes.

They're good songs and the first time they were set to an action video, it really worked. But it's been done to death now.

Agreed and your selections are better...

Moving this video to kulpims's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

At 5:48, any info on what's sticking out of the top of the jet? Looks like an air brake but I'm guessing that's not right on take off. Anyone know anything about this please?

If I'm not mistaken, that's the cover for the VTOL fan that resides right there. Note the outflow vents below aimed rear/downwards for takeoff...I think those move forward and backwards to achieve VTOL, hover, and slow flight. I've never seen it open during forward flight, so I'm not certain, but that seems right.

That makes sense, thank you

Incredible that the human brain, which thousands of years ago was concerned with hunting/farming, is the same brain able to function at mach 2 in a rapidly changing technological and physiological environment.
