I know several of you guys looove to make short films with your gear. I planned on doing something like that with a friend I was heading over to to talk WW2-kit and fix my Tanaka up with a variable FPS bolt. But I didn't as it was POURING down with rain. But hey, it's a fair distance to drive, so we had to do something. So in the pouring rain with the camera body wrapped in a plastic bag, here's a short montage of what we got. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hSHVQeFMRs&feature=youtu.beIt isn't anything special at all - but I thought you guys would be interested nonetheless Kind regards, -Lasse

Would have loved to see the shot with the horse cut to another scene of the soldier roasting a chunk of meat over a campfire. Horsemeat was very popular in Europe during the war years, and is still avaialable in many countries (there was a movement to re-introduce it in America a few years back, but to my knowledge that got squashed by anti-horsemeat activists). It's suppsedly quite sweet and lean, and has been used in the traditional cuisine of many countries, including Germany (most of the oldest recipes for Sauerbraten specified horse rather than beef). Seriously, though, nice video!

For anyone who laments the discomfort of wool in the hot weather. The thermal properties in the wet more then make up for it. The film captures the nisery that is rain and mud. Nice job! My father often spoke of the number of dead horses everywhere in Europe. The German extensively depended on horses but sadly they didn't hold up well to shelling or air attack. We had a group of German troops on horseback at Jump to Destiny who served (authentically) as couriers). It was a cool look. Everyone respected the strictinstructions NOT to shoot at the horses.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the positive feedback! About horse meat being sweet and lean!? All horse I've tasted been a pretty bad experience. The german army had more veterenaries than mechanics - goes without saying they had quite a few horses. And in the field, you use'em till they drop - and then it's food time. Our plan was to also shoot some footage of him on the horse - but it rained too much so we skipped it. We're a lazy bunch. Thanks for the sub, Luftwelle!

I've been meaning to make my own WWI short film but I am shy when it comes to me being on YouTube :DI can always make a screenplay revolving around a gas attack and I just wear a gas mask.Anyway your vid Huxy gives a good idea that your future vids are going to be sweet!

Thanks guys! The response here is great! I'm heading up to our field today for an overnight meetup with some other WW2-guys. Not for playing, but strictly for talking and just having a good time. I have a few photographs planner that I'll take and can post them here (in this thread maybe?). No video planned - but gosh, who knows what I'll do I'd like to hear the progress of your video, Luftwelle! Again guys, thanks! It warms my hart and motivates my brain!

Nice!What did you do to make this effect?

I haven't really "done" anything to make this "effect". This footage is shot on film (as it was in WW2), and three snip-tests were processed in a way-below-standard way. This assured me that I actually can processe the film (timing is of importance) and that the camera actually works. The snip-tests were stored in a basked I frequently use for other things (snip tests get crushed and scratched, etc) and as I recently aquired stuff to make it digitilized (again, in a crappy way), I did this. Next step is aquiring proper prossecing-equipment and do entire rolls
