Paranoia

[Jah5331]

whre did you get the guns?

[whsiriotx]

EXCELENT! (but in one shot around 2:00 there ws a modern car.)

[JessesWarMovies]

This is awesome Tom, love the paratroopers' facials at 2:03, really good acting

[wordreet]

Wow! In many ways, scarily real. Particularly the remote feeling, which I know is part of paranoia. I guess some of the action could have been 'quicker', by that I mean fear focused quick, if you know what I'm saying. But as you had to fill in for most of the actors it was never going to be ideal. Still a very good effort. And the shock ending is great.

[HDFEST]

nice work!

[Acoustic1234567]

Great! As always!

[SirCrooner]

Excellent film, but once again, consider some haircuts and shaves when you are doing military roles. Stubble and even a well-groomed mustache is just fine, but the German Army would not have allowed beards.

@SirCrooner

In both cases regarding the hair in this film, we had people fill in the roles of people who dropped out at the last moment. I played one of the Germans in the knife fight and I wasn't even supposed to appear on camera. I was the director. The others were crew who ended up filling in for actors.

[SirCrooner]

@jkilts Thanks for the information. Again, you're a terrific filmmaker. Good luck with your future!

[McAllisterVideos]

Have you ever considered using Colors and Contrasts for intensity or emotions?

[jkilts]

@McAllisterVideos

We dabbled with it in this, but did not want to do anything extreme- at least not for this project. We have a couple films that haven't been released that we have extreme filters and color correction on.

[WorldWarMovies823]

Simply amazing. If not more than amazing and nothing less.

[jkilts]

@WorldWarMovies823

Thank you! I'm very glad you liked it!

[troywhigham]

Admirable effort. The camerawork and editing are very well done. The angles, the boxing, the staging are certainly well thought-out. I'd like to see this re-done with a few changes and sent to a film fest some day.

Things to fix:

- Wrong boots on paratrooper. You could get around this by not showing his feet in the frame when he's running.

- Pilot and Germans have wrong haircut

- On at least two occassions, the actors looked at the camera.

- Fresh cut khakis already threading?

@troywhigham

Thank you very much for your kind words and constructive feedback! I agree with all the recommendations you've made, but the first two were due to last minute changes. The airborne uniform is my own (I'm the director), and it was used by an actor. I had the proper boots, but they didn't fit the actor. Originally, we were to have different actors as the pilot and the Germans, but they all canceled last minute, so my film crew filled in. You're completely right about the last two.

[FalconKPD]

Flawless Tom, flawless.

[infantryfilms2nd]

good i like how you actually have an almost complete impression (the boots is all that needs improvement)

[jkilts]

@infantryfilms2nd

Thanks :) I'm the director of the film, and the airborne kit was mine, the problem was the actor didn't fit into my boots so we had to improvise. I honestly didn't think people would notice.

[infantryfilms2nd]

@jkilts Have you started filming the redo of Screaming Eagles yet?

[WWIjacob]

nice job

[ssgtjoegross]

Are you using Action Essentials 2?

[jkilts]

@ssgtjoegross

No- this was edited on Final Cut Studio 3, color corrected on 'Color', and the special effects were FXHome EffectsLab Pro

[wizart49]

great job tom really enjoyed this one. this shows how great you and your actors are.

[MrVolcanoes22]

Sweet! This is a great video that honestly I dont believe many other youtubers can get close to. And that is true for all of your videos.

[RogCBrand]

Great job guys! I like the sparse music- it worked great with this.

LOL! Eugene is perfect playing a paranoid!

:P

The hand-to-hand fight was intense! You died well Tom!

:D

[Movieman1944]

the sten gun looks ligit im not gonna lie

[levi4o5]

@Movieman1944 Hey, sorry, I think I just voted your comment down - I just wanted you to know, it was an accident, my mouse slipped.

[armedfilmmaker]

Very exceptional film Tom. Just one question...Where did you get the m3 grease gun? If you can tell me in my inbox lol :)

[infantryfilms2nd]

@armedfilmmaker i know where to get one online for about 10 bucks minus shipping costs

[LinkFan4199]

Before anyone else thinks that gun the paratrooper is holding is an MP-40 it's not... my friends thought it was so just to clear it out it is a M3A1 Grease Gun

[kezz92848]

nice movie

[NMDANGEL]

great movie

[CurtisMcCrea]

Another excellent film, Tom!

[Isparkshortfilms]

great film, worth the six minutes.

advice: some of your shots indoors were almost totally black, try to angle the camera so that you can see everyone clearly. blood looked a bit too red, make it loke a vapour. when bullets hit the ground use 'snaps' to create a dust/smoke effect. handheld shots when running need to be slightly more balanced. Otherwise this film is almost semi-pro. 5*

[whsiriotx]

FANTASTIC!!!!!(when is the Titanic one out?)

[whsiriotx]

when is the titanic film out?

[davidpholtz]

you could make it better by putting blood

[snowcuckoo1978]

Cool

[rmatthew117]

for a pilot he sure has some good accuracy

[101stairbornedan]

well done tom u have done it again what an amazing fil and what editing softwaree do u use

[jkilts]

@101stairbornedan

We use Final Cut Studio 3

[sonsofawitch]

Great video! You've done it again!

[fsm1982]

Good movie, but the soldiers don't use long hair!

Cut this hairs like soldiers or officers.

[jkilts]

@fsm1982

I totally agree. The problem is we usually have actors that bail on us the morning of filming, and we end up having to throw ourselves in as actors, which we weren't expecting.

[atmtrooper]

awsome nice idea

[ofpveteran73]

cool vid
