I dont have many actors for my war movie. I was thinking of adding audio to make it sound like there is more people(yelling,screaming,thuds,etc.). Anybody have any more tips for me?

Looks like infantry to me. Airborne would have more gear than that.

CGI is ruining films these days.They use it for way too many useless things. I dont think there 100% useless but id rather do my special effects non-digitally, especially blood. I think blood in movies should look realistic. If your going to shoot somebody in the head, why not give it that extra rea...

Doug if you want to buy one, Id search the internet more more a better price. Look at this one:

Looks more real than the clear one and its only $19.99

Have you already started making yours?

That Carbine is great. I hope to join a reenactment group too when im 18. Soon ill be getting a jacket which will be the start of my uniform. I also have my eyes on a blank firing Colt .45 wich will be my first weapon. Do you personally use any other weapons besides the Carbine?

Breaking someones neck takes quite a bit of power. Im sure the actor would be willing to movie his neck to the side as you move his head to the side too. Kind of a teamwork thing. And you wouldnt even use alot of power for that because remember your faking it.

Simple as that. I would never waste money on a dummy for something as simple as a neck breaking effect. You can easily do it with one of the actors. You can even add a simple cracking noise to make it sound real. Look at other zombie movies to get ideas from too, that always helps. Good luck.

I like the suction cups better because they look as if they would stay on the car more securely.

I going to work hard on it, but i need a bunch of stuff anyway if its gonna come out to be atleast a decent movie in the end.

Ive been getting lots of ideas for a war movie that i want to make soon. I plan on doing either a WWII movie a Vietnam movie. Does anybody have any tips they'd like to give? This is my first war movie. Im am also looking for inexpenisve American and Nazi war clothes/uniforms.

Probably next to nothing. You can probably find alot of the stuff needed around the house.

That looks really good but you can see the string my man. You should have shot it with the camera aiming at your face rather than the side.

Both films where pretty good i thot. In copperhead i liked the blood work and how you added in some pink floyd and the theme to The Shining. Keep em comin.
