I have to say, I am very impressed! I vote for a sequel as well! However, I am a little disturbed kids yer age have this kind of creative arsenal. I have seen war. this is not it but it's about as close as you ever DON'T want to be.

@sirsnowpharaoh Search "Breathe Student  War Film" for the sequel

[CGD08]

Great job! Watched Breathe before this lol. Both are awesome. It's interesting how you guys include the Americans and other forces, setting the stage for world war.

[SBPNZ]

@CGD08 haha cheers! Breathe comes after the events in this film.. same actor in the last scene of this film :)

I know this was a while ago but do you remember where you downloaded the radio chatter at the beginning from?

I'm not impressed with the camera angle shots, as they look 'pointless' in overall 90% of this short film. There are lack of close shots. The 6:05 and 6:14 shots touches a lot with film look.
