I would love some more storys for hertgen for the film , we where looking at late 2012 to shoot some more stuff ,what they did in ww2 inspires me to make films whatever it takes , i've been an reenactor as "oddball" from kellys heros at war and peace over the last two years with hell and back group dan butler in shermans and replica tigers its been a wild adventure thanks everyone for all your support

wow thats pretty awesome are you sure this was 200 pounds because it looks like it would be alot more.

[johnnieoddball]

yes it cost me only 200 pounds which went towards fuel costs for the vehicles if it wasnt for the hell and back re-enactment group and the German group turning up it would never of happend i didnt promise anything in advance just told them i had no budget only equipment and a location it payed off being honest from the start , the logistics where the hardest part of the shoot and the pyros

thanks to everyone it came together ..

Hey, this looks great! Is the movie finished yet? If not; do you have a composer to score it? If not; would you consider me? I am currently composing the score for another WWII short film. Let me know if you are interested. Some of my early music is on my youtube channel.
