Plot for my war movie

SgtPadrino · Post by **SgtPadrino** » Wed May 19, 2004 4:41 pm

This may sound ambitious, but it's almost completely planned out, and well, believe me when I say that we know what we're doing. Anyway, here it is:

A DC-10 was shot down during Operation Overlord, with eight survivors on the entire plane, of which 3 are wounded. The other five, after a fierce firefight with German emplaced weapons, fight their way out of the hotzone and set up a casualty collection point. Because the three are dying, and there is no way for them to survive unless they find help, the other five need to set out to find Allied forces, and medical aid. Shooting is going to begin this summer. More info to come.

Some pics of the guns we're most likely going to use:

And this is just a pipe dream, but here's to hoping that we have enough money for it:

Looks good, I'm sure you can pull it off my bigger question is will we ever see it, kind of like the Nam movie. But the idea with the aid station means that you can keep a lot of the action in a central area, which cuts down on sets and such.

Yeah. Anyway, the deal with the Nam movie is that I'm trying to get MicroTech to host it, but they can't get it online with the hackers attacking them and all. So you will see it, just as soon as MicroTech is back up.

those guns look great, are they airsoft?

SgtPadrino · Post by **SgtPadrino** » Wed May 19, 2004 6:42 pm

No, they're specialized replicas that fire Plug Fire Caps or blanks.

The title is "Night of Nights, Day of Days". And I got the guns from a gun store in Des Moines, Iowa.

Sounds like a really cool plot definetly keep us posted!

SgtPadrino · Post by **SgtPadrino** » Thu May 20, 2004 2:18 am

The store does have a website, but there's a loooong waiting list for online orders. And no, I didn't get multiple guns of the same kind; we're just going to make use of cuts to make it look like we do.

i Know the site were u got those imagers from, its http://www.modelguns.co.uk/

How much is ure budget because from these pictures there is at least Ã‚Â£1000 worth + amunition??

BTW the URL is printed in to one of the pictures aswell lol

SgtPadrino · Post by **SgtPadrino** » Thu May 20, 2004 7:53 pm

I got the pics from modelguns.co.uk, I'm getting the guns from repligun.us

Budget is running at about 1200 to 1500 dollars, so we're pretty much set for both weaponry and clothing; the MP40 is about 450 dollars, the teh Thompson is 660 dollars, and the M1 Garand is just a picture that I got off of there, since we already have a real Garand. Ammo and magazines should be an extra fifty bucks or so, but both guns come with 2 boxes of ammo. Just need an extra magazine for both.

SGT
it sounds cool. Will you actually show the crash site? A model or cg?
It will be a fun project.

that garnade is awsome! where did you get it?

SgtPadrino · Post by **SgtPadrino** » Fri May 21, 2004 2:39 am

I will not actually show the crash site - that's almost impossible with the budget I have. For the version of the movie we're keeping here at home, to show to family and friends, I'm going to get D-Day footage from Band of Brothers, then cut it up and edit it to fit the story, then add some slow choral music (with the sound removed from the footage). For the online version, however, I'm going to get audio of the speech Eisenhower made before the invasion began, and place it over stock WWII footage of soldiers in England. Copyright issues, y'know. I take those risks with music all the time, but with copyrighted footage from an HBO series, that's pushing it.

I was wondering how much each of these replicas cost?

Epsilon · Post by **Epsilon** » Fri May 21, 2004 3:28 am

I like it... I like it...

SgtPadrino, you can host it on my server if you wish HERE

Also, those weapons look way too spit-shiny clean and new for a war picture.

SgtPadrino · Post by **SgtPadrino** » Fri May 21, 2004 3:30 am

Around 500 to 1000 dollars.
