I hope to fight the temptation to remove the fan too, which is far more invasive.

I Did It!!! I tried to change the fan but it was missing a screw set, however, what ever I did brought the temperture down to 

As a gift to my loyal readers I’m posting a short clip from my epic film, Flight Simulator X’s World Trip: East Too West. In this clip I am flying around London England in my Cylon Raider using the current time, date, and weather.

The mocumentry, “the Cylon Menace” is about a rash of encounters commercial airliners have had with an unidentified flying object dubbed, “the cylon.” It is called “the cylon” because of its resemblance to a space craft featured in the legendary Television series, Battlestar Galactica.

The multipart series deals with learning about what this menace is as well as its technice of hunting aircrafts in the twilight. 

The overall purpose of this project is to test and build out project work flows. Though I will be doing a bulk of the work myself a work-flow is key when more than one piece of software is at play. 

In this edit I took a simple clip from Flight Simulator and ported it over to Adobe Premier where I trimmed it down and made several cuts. The focus of this was not on editing principles but how to incorporate an After Effects component. After Effects was used for the filters as well as the animated titles. You will see that the titles are not exactly what they should be. I was stuck in making a mask out of text. 

Building custom music with Garage Band has been a constant struggle for me. I take every opportunity I can to incorporate some original music into the clip. 

This is the the first clip in the promo 2 series. The three clips are separated by the After Effects filter being used.
