Live Action War Movie I Filmed

Posted by AlmightyHans - May 15th, 2009


At the end of last summer, just before the NG Meet-up in London. Around August, I was in St. Andrews, Scotland teaching a film course there. One of my students had a very ambitious project. And between me and my partner teacher, we decided to let him film a WW2 set movie. This of course obviously had to lead to teaching the kid a bunch of trickery and oh so awesome movie magic.

We prepared costumes and props, etc. Me and the kid went out to this really cool beach where an old castle was blown up and torn down by the rocks. we story-boarded and plotted and planned according to the environment of that local. We were finally ready to film and even got the friendly sandwich maker across the street to play a German soldier.

The day came and the crew carried the stuff down to the beach, me carrying a very large bucket of fake blood. Surprisingly enough, mother nature did what it does best to film makers and provoked a landslide on that beach, forcing it to shut down for the entire day. We felt for a moment that all hope was lost, but then it occurred to us to go to the next beach "West Sands" where the old 'Chariots of Fire' movie scene was shot. So i carried my bucket of fake blood for almost 2 miles to the next beach. it was a messy pain. the cops probably thought Jack the ripper has risen from the grave.

So by the time we got there i kinda had to jump in and improvise a new battle sequence at this beach in a very limited time. it turned out great we all did great team work.

I suggest you watch it HD. credits are at the end. I hope you enjoy the show. get some popcorn.

"Me and the kid"

Doesn't that make you feel old Hans?

Great video btw!

yeah im starting to feel like im getting old. my balls hang down to my knees.

That is a bad ass sandwich maker. I bet he had the gun already, and was like 'No hey guys, I totally have this gun that I use to prevent thieves from stealing my delicious sandwiches.'

i actually made the gun. well, made it from a toy gun to a black clunky one.

That poor Willhelm, he gets it every time.

Nice work Hans.

thanks bro.

That was good Hans. You really captured an old nazi kind of look. The way it was filmed.

Woah Reincarnation?
Trippy

wow man, wow. That was pretty damn good. How long did this took? Like, to film it all etc etc.
Very nice indeed. Keep up your splendid work man.

it was about 3 days for props 2 days filming one night editing. the two filming days were like about 5 hours each day though.

Popcorn? It's only about 3 minutes long.

get a small popcorn...

I'm intrigued and impressed that you were teaching film classes last year, internationally at that.

the credits are at the end? why not half way through?
I suggest you go fuck a chicken...
nice movie though

haha, there are some short films that forget to put credits. and there are some people stupid enough to ask me about things that can be found in the credits. i'm just reminding the audience that there is such thing as credits. chicken fucker. :3

Should've ended with the baby saying "I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!!!"

Just like obi-wan kenobi ;)

cool really speaking Hebrew :P

GREAT cinematography dude, you guys should be proud :]

Kato syrup and the Wilhelm scream, whats not to love about this short?

Also, nice camera angles in the first 1 minute, as well as great build up of atmosphere in the 'chair' sequences. Nice work overall!
