For some time now, I've been planning to make a Fleet Ops music video where I basically throw a bunch of scenes from my replays together and set them to music.  Something to show off all the awesomeness of Fleet Ops at once.

Honestly I was planning to wait a bit longer: I just uploaded my 14th video but many of the earlier ones have inferior video quality.  However, seeing how big this next patch will be I've decided to make a video with just footage from version 3.26 and earlier.  It'll be a bit of a send-off, and set me up to start gathering clips for the second video using the new patch with all the new content and mechanics.

Before I start, however, I want to ask if anybody else has recorded footage they would like to donate to the project.  I'm definitely not the only commentator who's seen cool stuff before, and I thought you all wouldn't mind if I used your footage but I want to make sure to get your permission first.

So if you already have footage in the database, may I have permission to use some of it?  Also, do you keep physical backups or the files or know how I can download them from YouTube?

Also, if anybody has a specific clip they want to request from my recordings or somewhere else, let me know!  You can post a link in this thread using the format "#t=12m34s" at the end to link to the time-point in the video you want.

if you wanna use any footage from replays i made then you have permission to do so.

to download from youtube i use keep-tube

no need to use the addon if you dont want to, just copypasta the url into the box on the site. the addon simply takes away a couple of clicks.

You have my permission as well
I'm almost certain jynx wouldn't mind either

Try Requiem for a Tower. The orchestrated version. It'll make anything epic.
And broken sentences are very stilted.

Eh, Requiem for a Tower feels a bit too cliched. If you want classical-ish stuff, there's so much in the public domain that you don't need to resort to something as overused as Req.

Or there's always Yakity Sax.

Mmm, not quite. Requiem for a Tower is a piece of music, whereas Requiem for a Dream is a movie staring Jennifer Connelly and that guy from 30 Seconds to Mars.

Good guess, though.

actually it was originally called Requiem For A Dream and was made for the movie with the same name. However it was used on a single Trailer for Lord of The Rings and was redone with a choir added and then renamed to Requiem For A Tower

So technically he is right

Hm. Guess I should have wiki'd it instead of going off memory.

Well thanks, but I already have the music selected.  I'm afraid not everyone will like Techno, but no one will forget it!

Okay, so I'm gathering up the clips I want to use, but unfortunately I was unable to expand the smaller videos I've made so almost all of my recordings are out.

Can anyone recommend a few really good replays for me to draw from?  I need to find some clips of Borg ships attacking a base, as well as some generally good build-ups and early raids.

Some of the tournament video's? Or are these to out-dated?
