This thread discusses the content article:
Happy New Year 2010!
We've been doing most of our videos focusing on the battles, so we thought we'd show you a little more of the map this time. All you history buffs should recognize the terrain, brought to you just like it looked on the days of the battle. Louie Raider and the team researched like crazy to get all the details right. This is the real virtual battlefield tour!

Holy Roundtops Batman, this is the most impressive video yet! I held up a photo of the roundtops where part of the video was in the same position and it was 'virtually' a carbon copy (abeilt in coloUr).
I noticed toward the end of the vid that a few union troops stood their ground whilst others ran. Is that to simulate courage or deer in the headlights panic (as they didn't seem to be firing)?
Thanks, keep up the good work.

Okay, that video clip was awsome!
My first movie of the year, and I already know nothing else will compare!
Alright Gentlemen, it's time to clean and polish our weapons, mend our uniforms, write our letters home. We'll be breaking camp this year, and soon we'll be unfurling our flags, falling in and marching to battle!
Just keep an ear open for the drum roll........... B)

That was awesome. Now I cannot wait for this game to come out. My favorite part was when you had the camera on the rocks of Little Round Top facing the Devils Den; It was what Warren saw on July the 2nd. Great music too.

That view out across The Valley of Death was amazing. You guys seem to have this down to the individual rock formations.
Excellent work!

That just some of the randomness that I add to retreats or routes. Sometimes guys finish firing, then take off, some just take off. It's all part of the engine to try and give this thing a reality.

Glad you guys like it! It's my directorial debut! Actually I was just the camera man, that's why it's so jerky, Louie took my raw footage and turned it into that video. It was over 3 gigs when I finished. I think most of the guys usually slow the camera speed before they do the videos, but I'm too lazy for that

I was trying to fulfill some of the requests I get. Like staying in one place for a little while rather than constantly moving, a lot of people have asked for that so I gave a few of those shots. And everyone wanted to see the historical sites, so we gave you the best we had! It's the least we can do since we didn't make 2009

I loved the Confederate regiment moving towards the big round top! Everyone streaming towards the place!
Love the view from LRT!
