I try to spend little money on the movies I make. So far I've spent $5 on a cap gun (Colt .45) at a dollar store.

I gather a group together and we'll do car washes. You can get a couple thousand in a Saturday afternoon, all you need are girls in bikinis.

Hehe, I gotta try that...

Storyline of the bunker was what killed it.

I try to make it look authentic with a $200 Colt .45 Replica with moving parts.

$200+ for a colt 45? I'd rather make one out of cardboard. We aren't using sidearms that much, we are concentrating more on the big weapons

Bah. I have seen "the bunker" on the shelf at my local video rental place, and I almost got it out of curiosity, but it looked to be of poor quality. Pearl Harbor? BLECH! A horrible love movie, a horrible war movie, a horrible movie altogether.

Geez, now that I've got people all over the world posting at this thread, people post around the clock! I have a hard time keeping up with the topic.

I saw the forgotten trailer. Liked the trailer, and I think your costumes are great. Better than I can do, thats for sure. I'm just so busy nowadays.... You people steal all my free time by posting in this thread nonstop!

Okay, I'm back everyone from a nice week at the lake before school statrs on thursday

:buzzsaw:

Anyway, I have fully completed 3 us 101st costumes armed with m1a1 SMG, m1 garand, and m1 carbine (along with like 30 .45's.......lol time for some john woo stlye.....) (with the exeption of 1 helmet), complete with 101st screaming eagle badges. I also have two german soldier costumes, and one german officier. The two soldiers armed with mp40's (i also have a k98k made from wood but it looks really screwed) and the officier has a p38 w/holster. So theres my costume update, oh, I picked up 3 haversacks from the surplus store for 15 bucks a piece. You'll see'em il the lost sergeant 3 which I will have up tommorow.

Special Welcome to Col. sahb

Anyways monkeys, its 1:30 so I better be getting some sleep.

A Hat.

As for our costumes, we probably spent a little over $350 on all the costumes. I wish I could spend more to get it all accurate, but money equals stuff and stuff is like work and I'm all not able to work cause school is in the way and yes... buwhahahah!

The Winter War is definetely one of the greatest war films ever made. Das Boot too.

No. Six Words. One Smilie.

Saints and Soldiers

Saving Private Ryan

Watched SPR the other night. Got a lot of problems, but I still enjoy it. Definately changed the look people have on history.

Band of Brothers was excellent, thought it was a mini-series. But so was Das Boot, but whatever.

I guess if I had to choose, I'd pick Das Boot. Probably the most realistic war film/mini-series ever made. Not just in terms of uniforms/settings, but also in the men themselves. Vets from both sides have commended Peterson on his accomplishment.

DeadLogic · Post by **DeadLogic** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 3:58 am

Das Boot was cool, the only thing I didnt really like was the music.... I mean, it was like Techno music, All the effects were superb though, on par with today's... Mainly because they used real U-boats, no models or CG (except underwater).

bad_karma24 · Post by **bad_karma24** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 4:02 am

Hehe... I actually liked the music. Then again, I like 80s music in general (I'm weird like that).

Most of the boat shots were models, they had a 35 foot version that could sail in the ocean. Their full size replica was just an empty shell with an engine, and it cracked in rough weather and was used for shots of the sub at dock or standing still in the water.

No CG though, thank God.

NaziSentry · Post by **NaziSentry** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 6:32 am

Gyro, I liked the bit at the end when they were diguised as the Kraut. The shootouts were very good too!

lukeprausnitz · Post by **lukeprausnitz** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 6:57 am

das boot is german for the boat

I see we have a new WWII guy here, Col. Sahb. Welcome.

Special Welcome to Col. sahb

Thnx for the warm welcome guys

I think SPR is awesome when you've only seen it a couple of times, but any more than watching it 5 times, it gets really bad to watch.

BOB is a superb mini-series. Even when they were using the rubber gun props, their CG was excellent.

I'm going to try and model a muzzle flash animation in 3dsmax. Does anyone know if this will work? Has anyone tryed it before?

Cheers,

Sahb.

(Sorry about the double-post in advance

)

Finally got some location pics up!

It's at Newport Lakes, In Melbourne that is!

Stone wall location looks good

Well, it looks like it's as about as "Normandy-ish" as you can get in Australia.

SgtPadrino · Post by **SgtPadrino** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 12:39 am

I'm part German too, and I say kraut all the time... And yeah, I think that the scenery looks pretty good for Normandy, considering you're in Australia.

NaziSentry · Post by **NaziSentry** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 8:38 am

I most certainly will! I'm uploading a 165MB 2min flick on Epsilons server onto my website thats filmed there!

(sorry dial-up users - i will make a smaller one soon
