Honestly, choosing the music was one of the hardest parts. I had to scrap some of my first ideas just because I found there was no way to coherently edit the clips to the music. I wound up choosing the songs I did because they had similar beats, sounds, and what I thought were interesting themes (essentially, nostalgia and war.)
That is something else I struggled with. I used past YIR videos as a guide. Basically, if it was beneficial to hear something, I made sure it could be heard. Otherwise, it stayed in the background. I am considering upping a version of this without music. It would be unlisted and just linked in the description of this video for anyone interested. I'm also considering a rough cut of the dozens of clips I wanted to use, but couldn't find a place for.
Wow dude. You talk about not wanting to be famous on shacktac, but then you go and post amazing shit like this!!?? I've been watching your posts all year man and I must say that I am a fan :) Great job with this clip!
I could imagine how hard that would be, Honestly if the music was just overall more quiet and in the background to the sound of the in-game clips other than the other way around, I'd think I would have enjoyed it more, but regardless I do still love this video :)
What was the video when the extraction chopper was full and you got left on the ground? The one where the other guy jumped out to save you, and then you nearly left him behind.
Nothing would make me happier than to join ShackTac. I was a harcore player of cold war crisis and combat operations but I cant get my hands on a comp good enough to run ArmA2 :/
I honestly hope the next Arma game is more like Arma 2 than Arma 3. I miss seeing shit like this. Arma 3 is great and all, but the engine's capability is not as high as what we got with Arma 2. Give me Arma 2 gameplay with Arma 3 graphics and functionality, and I'd be a happy man. I generally prefer the combined-arms focus of Arma 2 as opposed to the small-unit-tactics focus of Arma 3. I love getting in shit-fights at night in Arma 2 and just watching the massive pretty light-show lol. I like high-pucker factor ops in Arma, and since Arma 3 can't have as many entities active at any one time as Arma 2, the bigger, better fights always happen in Arma 2 for me.
Don't think the song blends well. Not sure what emotion it's supposed to convey and the audio levels make me want to listen to the ingame conversations, but it's impossible to discern most words through the song.

Out of all the 2012 YIRs this is the one I keep coming back to, it's just awesome.
Finally, someone put John's Introduction to Shacktac in their YIR... Love that.
This made my night, thanks Taconic. Happy New Year!!!

It's been a great year, thanks for posting your videos!!
Great end of the year video and may you have a happy new year.
What an awesome video. Could you please tell me the song(s) you used in it? Really love them and fit it perfectly.
Gonna have to say this was the best one I've seen. Great vids, and great song choice.
These were some great clips. @ 1:20 , was that CHkilroy? The semi-psychotic looking strafing run seems to say yes.
Up untill now, you've got the best YIR video yet ;) congrats!
Wonderfully done Vesp.Hopefully next year I will be able to join all of you.You do have ladies in the group I believe?
you had some well times shots in that compilation!
good job!

Some day these ShackTac guys will finally get recognized on the Internet.
Who has the honor of this years review?
Also, Space and Time is my new favourite song, thanks Taconic!
High praise.

Dslyecxi's 2012 video was link'd in a Steam post for Arma news. Anyone who opened up their arma 2/ Arma 2 OA saw it :3

10/10 Would watch again.
I don't recognize the roundel on the biplane at 8:57...um, for that matter, what was the scenario involving a WWI-era air attack?
No prob. It's just easier to list the time than type it out.
Left Behind.

The guy we almost left was Calgon. He is apparently my golden retriever.
Thanks Taconic, that was great!

Sometimes. Depends upon who is in the truck.

Yes, we have a few female members.

Great video, you did it perfectly!!
But you have to upload the 4:28 one!

i gotta say that very last clip had me dying laughing, do all your convoys turn into sing alongs?
What is the name of the snow map that is used in some of the clips?
Pretty sweet man. Whats your steam name again?
Something randomly popped into my head to make me search for this video :U
Glorious.
Bad ass song and awesome vid. hope to see more!!!!
that was absolutely amazing!
Personally I hate the song, and I don't think it really fits at all, but its beautifully edited great job man!!
No. There are several clips in there that aren't from any full length video I've posted.
Filters at 5:00 look really cool!
Great work :) Many more please :)
That was great!
Very nice work Taconic ;)

good work! holy crap ending lol
Great vid and i love the music

I hope 2013 just as awesome along with the arrival of ArmA 3 (hopefully)
Awesome!

Damn good job, thanks Taconic!
4:28 makes my hair stand on end.

Don't think the song blends well. Not sure what emotion it's supposed to convey and the audio levels make me want to listen to the ingame conversations, but it's impossible to discern most words through the song.
