“I’d rather listen to what the pilots are saying than that crappy overly loud soundtrack.
Does every military aviation video still think they have to play some rock track like “Top Gun”?”
Young, stupid directors who think that they are being “creative” and “cool”.
The problem is that they can’t differentiate between “stupid” and “cool”.
Too true. I often get calls from directors, bad ones, looking for original songs to plug into some lame movie scene in an attempt to sex it up and 9 times out of 10 what they want is entirely at odds with the action on screen - "Do you have anything that's, you know, Stray Cat Strut for this WWII funeral scene?" There's no talking sense into them.
And since the damage is already done on this one, I suggest turning down the volume on the video and putting Walton's "Spitfire Prelude and Fugue" on your stereo as a more proper accompaniment - or start this vid at the same time
