Many are authentic weapons, converted to blank firing, other guns were resin facsimiles, and some were even BB guns.Holdios wrote:Where did you guys get the amazing looking guns?
Also, what was your primary method/effect for people (or zombies) taking bullet hits?
We did squibs, we did post production digital squibs & FX, and sometimes the guys would just fall down.

I loved it, very profesional, very smart and tidy. I have been keeping my eye on the tutorials that you have been posting and it is great to see it all together (even if it was a taster of a trailer!) looking forward to seeing the full DVD when you have it in the bag! well done to all involved!

I can't wait to hear how little you all actually had.sonnyboo wrote:NO no no. No offense taken, and I meant no offense back at ya. It's just that we had a very very low budget for what we tried to do. I'm really sick of the B.S. "Under $1 million" facade I've used so far. I can't wait to tell everyone how little we had.

It still grieves me to see such hard work put into a film with such little contributed to costume authenticity...

Give it up, the majority of the viewers do not care or will not know, that some belt wasn't authentic. If all you have going for your films is costume authenticity well, perhaps you should work on story development, PJR and co had costume people from Band of Brothers on this, so it'll look right to the viewer.Epsilon wrote:It still grieves me to see such hard work put into a film with such little contributed to costume authenticity...

Story is always first. But I'm also a living historian. One should always care about authenticity... it's respect towards veterans and our own history alike. It's not even a money issue. Just a little more time spent researching. That is all.NPMAX wrote:Give it up, the majority of the viewers do not care or will not know, that some belt wasn't authentic.

Hi Zac - We'll discuss the film in more detail when the time is right. For now, we have web documentaries on the web site, www.horrorsofwarmovie.com. Suffice is to say the film was an ambitious independent project involving a great deal of hard work and dedication on the part of a number of people. You can see the entire list on IMDB.
Uniforms were manufactured by Bayonet, Inc., www.bayonetinc.com - they have done a great deal of film work, including Clint Eastwood's upcoming FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS. Insignia were acuired through a personal contact.
Weapons & props were acquired from a number of sources. Our weapons & prop master was Ken Wilson who also served as the production designer.
As for authenticity, we had a number of technical consultants on the film, and worked toward authenticity within the context of this genre film - a war action/drama that mixes in science fiction and horror. We made certain concessions as needed when accessibility was a concern.
Anyway, best of luck with your WWII project!
