Looks like everything is coming together, though I'm pushing back filming one weekend.

Depends on how important accuracy is to you. Lightweight Rucksacks are best, followed by either tropical or ARVN rucksacks (they are actually called such). Real lightweight rucksacks w/ frame are gonna run you alot of money. If accuracy can go by the wayside, ALICE packs loaded down with alot of gear work OK. Plus, they can be had for $10 on ebay. Here's an example of an ALICE substitution: http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=6/16219241152.jpg&s=f5
Note the extra canteens w/ covers, shovel, and full bandoleer (among other things) secured to the pack.

Here's an alice pack that looks a lot like the one in that picture, let me know what you think. I'll be getting some E-tools and bandoleers to strap to myself too, and I was thinking of securing some ponchos and towels. Looks like more canteens would help too though. And maybe I can come across a LAW too.

a LAW?

ALove · Post by **ALove** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 2:17 am

M-72 grenade launcher.

Nba185 · Post by **Nba185** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 2:30 am

Oh right. You going to find a look-alike?

Mr.Anderson · Post by **Mr.Anderson** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 4:12 am

a LAW?

I believe thats a Light Anti-Tank Weapon. Pretty sure, Epsilon would probably know for sure.

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 4:42 am

Light Anti-tank Weapon, that's right. It looks like a mini bazooka OD tube you strap over your shoulder. An M79 grenade launcher is a handheld arm that works similar to an M203 with a wood stock.

PRC-10 anyone?

Mainly used in Korea and Early Vietnam, but I still feel justified in getting it; It's 200ish less than the PRC-25 (the eventual replacement around '65)

Mr.Anderson · Post by **Mr.Anderson** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 11:01 pm

ahh, nice. Were you able to get it?

ALove · Post by **ALove** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 10:17 am

Yeah, its mine. I'll take pictures when it arrives.

S_Dragon · Post by **S_Dragon** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 2:49 am

The filming locations look great...can't wait to see it done!

ALove · Post by **ALove** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 4:08 am

Well coming soon I have a crate from Epsilon and Moore Millitaria, which I will take pictures. May not get to start heavy duty shooting this weekend, but I'll probably start the scenes where we don't have to weigh ourselves down with gear. Still waiting for the radio.

S_Dragon · Post by **S_Dragon** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 5:19 am

So after you're done with this...shall we call it an epic...what are you gonna do with all the gear you've collected?

LoneManFilms · Post by **LoneManFilms** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 5:57 am

What are you shooting this on, Alove? The color corrected still looked great, by the way.

ALove · Post by **ALove** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 6:03 am

35mm

Haha. A DVX100B.

Zacatac927 · Post by **Zacatac927** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 3:46 pm

hey Alove what do you mean by SGpro.... is it some lense that gives depth of field for a mini dv camera?

Yeah, but I abandoned the idea, as I needed the money to buy the props

I bump thee as I show off my new toy...
