Anyone?

Work out a routetine, get your actors to practice it slowly until they know it off by heart, then get them to gradually build the speed up as it goes (as long as they feel comfortable with it; especially if you are using weapons). Eventually they'll have something which'll took good enough which'll ...

Hey there, this is the first few scenes for me NOOE film (Nazi occupation of England if you haven't guessed by now). Tell me what you think (but be nice, lol), this is still a massive work in progress, my main issues are the limit on locations, props, money, costume and characters - so the same as a...

Yeah, i have found some places selling authentic 1940's clothing, but its soo pricey it'd completly screw the whole budget of the film

It seems like you know exactly what this should/would look like if you'd have filmed it. But unfortunatly you haven't done a great done in transfering your thoughts down on here. I know you said it wasn't in the right format or anything, but for clarity it is really best to do it properly, if the la...

Naflish find me an idea which hasn't done before and i'll give you a prize

Good job, i enjoyed it. I tend to agree with some of the other critisism on here so i won't write 'em down again. Keep at it.

ZombieKreig: Thanks a sh!t load mate, there is some really usefuly stuff there. I've had a look on ebay and in the UK there isn't a great deal, i was looking to start filming in a few weeks (also need to get an actor in that time too) so i'm not sure i can wait for delivery from the US (also it'll b...

Hey there, i'm going to start filming some test scenes for the latest script i'm writing to see if it'll work. But I'm having costume difficulties, i can't seem to find what 1940's normal/unfasionable clothing is like, from what i've seen so far (which isn't a great deal), trousers, and shirt, (that...

Arming the youth, thats what i like to see, lol.

Right so can i see which scenario which people think would work the best? I know there was one definate for S2 here and i have had one vote for S1 elsewhere (plus one more 'cos its my favourite). Can you all please say which ones you'd all rather because im going to write the first part soon and i'd...

I actually find it easy to sit down a read a book rather than squint at a computer screen, but then again i have fecked up me shoulder playing tennis, so the longer im on here the more pain im in lol.

The only issue with this is that Hitler would have already been dead and the Nazi's would be at submission. If the nukes hadn't been dropped then, then Japan and the US would still be at war, but theres a high chance that without the Nazi's to worry about the Allied forces would dispatch with Japan ...

Nah none as yet mate, i think this script is going to take a back seat for a little while. I would start planning shooting, but because its been submitted to the BSSC if (in the unlikely event) i do win, they have the production rights. I don't wanna plan it, start shooting and then loose the right ...

Im mainly focusing on ethnic minorities and same sex relationships etc, things that Hitler would certainly take a very hard line against.

I know its an idea that has been played with before, but i thought i'd create the most realstic (and plausable) as i was able to. It has always been a great "what it?" and what if's are best shown as real as possible (i think). I get what your saying zombie, i suppose its what viewers woul...

Chuchill would have only resigned after immense pressure from the rest of the government and a largly unhappy public, not something he did likely. Darrigaz, i really don't know where you have seen this before. I can garentee you that i haven't looked at any copyrighted material whilst making this. M...

Hey there, just finished researching into some scenerios which will create the basis for my new script that im planning to write. If you haven't guessed by the title, it's about what the UK would be like if (in the unlikely event) that Hitler would have succeded in invading the UK during WW2. I'll p...

But you do realise that the problems in this world are mainly due to people not standing in the way of jerks like you? The day someone calls me a kid because i'm standing up for someone is a sad day indeed, i know you don't care but i don't give a toss. And when you are young you are immature, the h...

You may be older than rhys, but why you think that gives you the right to talk down to him and everyone else who doesn't share your own views i don't know. What the hell are you on about its just highschool again? Im sure if it was you'd be in the corner trying to swallow a dictionary or try and ani...

Barnes you planning to start your own militia or something? Nice looking guns though

To add to bulldogs post, he may act like a child for the reason that he is (no offense rhys), and he's getting out that and gaining experience, its the only way, at least be constructive in your critisism. Reading this i really don't blame him for starting up the aaronv2 movie thread thing. By the w...

Im sorry, it just looks like an MP40 with an ammo belt taped to it. Perhaps in a quick shot then you wouldn't notice, but if the viewers either watch war films a lot or play Call of Duty for too long (like me) then its obviously not great looking. But hell who am i to say anything you have a prop MP...

I wanna see some good storylines, some substance, sfx for the sake of it is pointless, anyone withenough training can reproduce a test or tutorial. It's innovative ideas and origional storylines which should be what people are looking for. So lets stop fighting and actually use our time to make some...

It sounds alright, i just think it sounds a little bit over done really. Im not saying its a bad idea, potentially i think it could be quite compelling, it just depends how its going to be written. What were you intending to focus on when writing it?
