This is new edited footage.

Will release my website next... But. With just this test footage.

Does it look like something you guys would want to watch if a full length feature? Because that's what I am working on.

Thoughts please... be honest.



For an Amateur, I have a screenplay and I actually OWN video footage of WWII aircraft that fits my storyline...

Hard to say because you know the full story and it’ s not clear here what story is about to unfold. The edits are relatively sparse for a modern action move. Your first shot is about 15 percent of your entire content and it’s an establishment scene. The hardest thing in photographing something is to see what’s actually on the screen and not what you’re fully experiencing with emotion, memory, etc. You can’t assume your audience will have the context.

My baw...you want my honest advice?


You need a writer.

I'm sure you've got the gear, the time, and the money, but that told zero story.


I like you. I want to help you. I think you might have potential. But it's so so so rough right now it needs a ton of work. You need it to say something, and right now it says



"WHEEEEEEE!!!! I'M A CRAZY OLD MAN WITH ACCESS TO MILITARY HARDWARE! WHEEEEEEE!"


And I mean that with all due respect. You are better than this.


ETA: is there more for context? Because right now it seems like an...unhinged old man hates a guy named Joe and is spitting lead from a prop plane while some GI's walk a cart down a road? I don't know what I'm supposed to think.

Thank You for the Reply... That's what I needed. I guess I was trolling...(Boomer here)

I got 115 pages of completed Story. Awesome story...

With bout 12 minutes of usable footage at my disposal directed towards the Story. That was 1 minute of 120.

I have 4 different Production Companies (Partners) involved now. And a Salesman. Talk about learning here... But I did that 1 minute.. And I have NO, Zero Nada access to any WWII vehicles, especially planes. Nor Experience. But I have now.

Was that 1 minute enough to get your interest?

Thanks

Have you met Nellie?

Go for it… unless it causes you to go broke.

Growing up, I used to watch short nerf war movies on YT that were filmed by kids. This video reminded me of those amateur videos especially if you take out the airplane.

If you enjoy it by all means continue. You do you man.

No tension in the scene. The soldiers might have well been ducking for mosquitoes. Enemy taunts belong in a comic book for a 10-year-old. Pretty good visually. Very lame overall.

The clip has David Lynch feel to it.
