… Combat video intro …

I’ve pretty much finished up the intro to the “Combat” music video. I am only missing two elements:

The Bomb

The Bomb Bay Doors

I have a good solution for the doors, but the bomb still eludes me. The only thing I have come across is a water rocket at Fred Meyer. I’d have to paint it black and even then it would still look like a water rocket from Fred Meyer. I guess they just don’t make toy bombs anymore. What a shame.

I’ll try and finish the doors tonight.

I spent quite a bit of time working out the title word “Combat” in the intro. It’s kind of funny but I like it.

I also tuned the sound of a B-29 (I couldn’t find a good B-24 drone) to the key of the song … so the video will start with the ominous sound of an aerial bomber that fades into the song … and hits the root note.

Oh hell — here’s a test cut of the intro …
