Here is an old trailer for A DAY IN JUNE I made about two years ago. Needless to say, costumes and weapons, script and acting, have all been GREATLY improved. But its good for a laugh........ youtube.com/watch?v=itQV_i2NfME

As in movies you go out and shoot, or movies put together using clips off something else?

Very nice video. Good music, sad and melancholy. Impressions looked good too and it looks like you guys had fun making it. Good work.

I finally found my camera, and was planning a video once all my gear came. I've done many videos, sadly many unfinished ones died with my last hard drive. But a few survived and were put up on my youtube.

Pretty nice effort. Your editing looks good. There are simple little tricks you can use next time to add realism if you don't have blank guns or money. Have someone blow cigarette smoke into the rifle firing scenes before you start filming, use a talcum powder, dust/dirt and foliage mixture to simulate mortar attacks as the troops are running (they step on a hidden board with a rock in the middle and spray the mixture upwards) and if you have a paintball gun, you can actually half empty a red paintball with a syringe and inject a little red dye in it to simulate bloody bullet hits. Paintballs will usually not show up on camera. Paint guns work great for water hits/splashes as well. Give it a "shaky" documentary feel by running behind the actors during intense scenes. I used to make little 8mm films when I was younger but they are still all on film and I haven't bothered to transfer them to DVD yet.

This may be a little off topic but it's close enough. Speildberg's first movies were I believe little WWII films he made when he was just a kid. I don't know the name but there's one where its just him and a bunch of friends who ran around playing army essentially. He used the plank with dirt mixture explosion effect. You could probably find them somewhere. If/when you see them, it'll make you feel a lot better about your videos, and it's cool to see his "early work".

Thanks for the input doom! I have used the board and fulcrum trick, and am in the process of making paintballs full of dirt and fake blood. I also have new editing software and can now add muzzle flashes and smoke. I'll have a few more movies up on youtube soon.
