Now that you can make AVI's of the trajectory from any vantage point, the next step is to link a number of them together to tell a story.

At Arrow Tech, we use a simple video editor called Camtasia. For less than $200, you can paste together multiple video clips into a movie. You can download a free evaluation copy from http://www.techsmith.com

Our standard formula is;

1. Show the Bad guy(s)

   

2. Show the Good guy

   

3. Show the Good guy launching a projectile

   

4. Watch the projectile in flight, from the side or the rear

   

5. Jump in front of the nose for the CNN view of target impact

   

6. Back off of the target for the impact and fire ball

   

And then prepare your entry for the Technical Shorts competition at Cannes Film Festival.
