@@liamwiggins6594 yeah but they could of tried hiding it more. Maybe use a really short dingy pencil. That stuck out really bad especially being me open acted But, eventually if they keep at it they'll get better.
Although the acting isn’t the best, the use of young people to portray soldiers was very accurate. Both world wars are famous for utilizing boys as young as 15 and turning them into soldiers.
Great job. Makes one feel so sorry for what the Germans went through. Just boys wanting to go home.mHaving to fight because they were ordered to do so and how awful it must have been to be Injured and dying with no help. Far away from home. RIP fallen heroes. Salute and Respect
Give these small independent film makers credit they do the best they can,don't nit pick give credit where it is due,someday they may have a budget to fit your desires as a critic.
I worked at JCPenny, those are the same kind, Paper Mate, I still have several! 1980’s circa! Other than the blue pen, out of place, time warped, back to 1943! The dude should’ve picked up, the MG-42, and hosed those Russkies! He’d have made it, “END”
This is good. Thanks. There were a few modern artifacts which were noticeable, like a TV antenna on the house in the opening scene but they didn't distract too much.
I noticed the 1960 antenna also. Strange also that 1 soldier had a white towel around his helmet while all the others wore brown/green colours, hardly helpfull in the snow.
Tips for cold weather acting! Blink more frequently and being hunched over is more accurate! Use different shot types (close, medium, far) to show more setting- maybe intro could've been medium shot showing our main guy with our other 2 soldiers around him, symmetrically, then the guard walks past, could be cool opening. Jump cut to close shot of writing, then maybe switch to a medium shot that looks similar in his flashback- that would be a really cool transition! Just some things I think would make it look better editorially. Also, take more scenic shots just showing off the landscape you're in, a great way to show walking long distances is to do a very long shot of your actors centered walking through a field (any open space) while the camera follows them. Im not an expert, dont get me wrong but i know a good amount about editing :) As for sound, make sure you can hear your dialogue, and it's not drowned out by background noise, as well as add background noise- he's on the front, give us some ever so distant artillery and occasional gunfire. editing can change everything!! Also, for actors- too much space between lines in conversation! Natural conversation almost has an overlap, don't be scared to say your line. Acting out gun recoil is a lot more snappy and horizontal- basically do NOT move your gun up unless firing full auto, as recoil kicks the stock of your weapon STRAIGHT back into your shoulder. Also, when being shot at always act to run for some sort of cover, that could be anything- think of it like you're a real soldier, and you're running from real bullets- where do you go? That high grass behind you? That tree? Anything will improve immersive-ness. When you're in a trench, do you get out of that trench with a hundred enemy guns pointed at you, and how high would you risk putting your head? Also, more screams on death lols.That being said, excellent work guys! Keep it up! I've dropped a sub to see how yall progress ;)
Hi LBRM Films, excellent short film, very deep in emotions and meaning. Please forgive the numerous "Internet experts" that just love to criticize details, uniforms, weapons, "writing", cinematographic technique, etc. This short film is not a reference for German nor Red Army uniforms and equipment, it is about relationship, humanity (or what was left of it) and the insanity of war. About the technical aspects such as cinematography or sound engineering - most pros will understand that your studio did very well considering your budget and resources. I am a Veteran of three wars and was a cinema student in college, it was not easy (producing a film, that is) - I am/was impressed by your work - keep on going, you are on the right path. Ciao, L
These short films about World War 2 are important. They show these young soldiers fighting just to stay alive. The ones from the German perspective show not all Germans were bad, committed atrocities or participated in The Holocaust.
Very difficult to hear some of the dialogue due to the wind and what sounds like highway noise. Also the camouflage smocks. I thought only SS troops wore those.
The Wehrmacht had splinter and tan & water camo with their smocks and winter coats (as shown in the film. The SS had oakleaf, blurred edge and peas dot camo which all look similar and was synthesized by the post war German flectarn camo). A good example of an SS camo is shown by the soldier lying on the floor at 12:18 and towards the end with the execution of an SS soldier (along with the execution of two Wehrmacht soldiers, one wearing splinter and the other tan & water camo).
Probably don't have a modern plastic blue pen when writing, and instead of a piece of paper write it in a leather journal, rip the paper out, then mail it. That was the only think that was wrong though, this is easily your top 3 best short films.
This is a beautiful and sweet little film...you did an amazing job! I know that its low budget, but I believe that you did amazing with what you had to work with.. Continue to create and inspire by making these films...because I really love WW2 stuff.. so this film is really intriguing for me... Do you have any ideas for another film? Maybe do one about a pilot or a tanker??.. (if you can) At any rate this is brilliant! Good Job!
Que triste... después de todo, no pudo cumplir con su promesa de regresar con su amada. Así fue el destino de muchos jóvenes, en ambas partes de está terrible contienda. Y por supuesto, de antas guerras a lo largo de la historia. Felicitaciones, un buen corto; y les deseo muchos éxitos... Saludos!
Ein wirklich sehr guter Film! Es ist wohl auch besser als "deutscher Soldaten" englisch zu sprechen. Denn wenn man kein Deutsch kann, versteht es niemand. Gute Arbeit!
Der Deutsche Panzerbetreiber the last part is cuz Stalin wanted the Germans to spend extra bullets and also so he could show power, overall Stalin was as evil as Hitler was
I see a lot of film where troops seem to act passively without agency. You need to understand the will to survive these faces these expressions the body language It’s like they are walking in their living room with a cup of coco. That said a good concept and I commend you for your work. All filming of history is important. You need to get advice from veterans though.
As they (these very young 'german soldiers' ) sit guarding some terrain armed, one feels one can hear some interstate highway in the background? Uniforms etc brilliant, crisp filming but please.........for me maybe these troops should be speaking in german.?.
Chris Batchelor Unfortunately only two of the actors in this film could speak German. It also happens that most of our audience is English-speaking, so we decided to make the film in English.
You really should not be so critical on a film with little budget and the fact this is portrayed for free really means you should appreciate what they had if you want a perfect Over the top action film go back to Holywood
Wie alt ist der Anführer? 12 ? 13 ? Ist er/ sie männlich ? Weiblich? Im Feld benutzt man Bleistift ! Er führt in leichter Sommeruniform mit wunderbarem blütenweißen Hemd bei Eiseskälte in Russland einen Trupp winterlich gekleideter Landser an ? Rote/ rosa Unterwäsche bei Landsern ??? Er hätte bei seiner wunderschönen Freundin bleiben sollen !!
Even though they may look young many young people joined the German army actually once you were 10yrs old you were put in a hitler youth camp training to grow up into a soldier
In addition to all the comments made below on deficiencies and discrepancies I would like to add: 20:20 braces? Really??? Some might say I get picky but these kind of details just show disrespect to the auditorium
Auch als Laie sehe ich in diesem Video Dinge, die es zur damaligen Zeit nicht gab. Man sollte schon darauf achten das die Uniformen etc. gleich sind. Die Frisur des einen Soldaten ist auch nicht Wehrmachtstyle. Die Geräusche von der Strasse im Hintergrund sind auch nicht zeitgemäß . Der blaue Bleistift ist dann auch egal.
Кино
This is our longest video yet! Hope you enjoy it!
Das nächste Mal aber bitte die Autobahn und deren Geräusche ausblenden, besonders dieser Lärmschutz hat da nichts zu suchen, sonst in Ordnung.
ghost ididd
I loved it
That's a futuristic pen he's writing "Greta" with.
that ended even watching it
It doesn’t really matter that much they’re just here to entertain us
I knew that the Germans time travelled during ww2
Not to mention the clean faces, after a long time in combat, they would be hella dirty
A good effort on a low budget. Your next film will am sure keep to the details of ww2 . Keep trying perfection is around the corner 👍
I think they forgot about the style of the pen he used to write the letter, defiantly not 1940's style
Well actually no they probably didn’t and their probably hard to find from ww2 era
@@liamwiggins6594 yeah but they could of tried hiding it more. Maybe use a really short dingy pencil. That stuck out really bad especially being me open acted But, eventually if they keep at it they'll get better.
What?! You mean blue plastic Paper Mate ballpoint pens were not standard SS issue?
His girlfriend's hair and dress is not 1940s either.
They used pencils mostly especially the ordinary soldiers. Other that that fountain pens if available.
Although the acting isn’t the best, the use of young people to portray soldiers was very accurate. Both world wars are famous for utilizing boys as young as 15 and turning them into soldiers.
@Itz_Jelle he litteraly explained it
8 and older
@Itz_Jelle some soldiers in Europe were as young as 8 years old the soviets had a 6 year old
Great job. Makes one feel so sorry for what the Germans went through. Just boys wanting to go home.mHaving to fight because they were ordered to do so and how awful it must have been to be Injured and dying with no help. Far away from home. RIP fallen heroes. Salute and Respect
You guys have come a long way keep it up greay short film👍👌
The person play the German officer did out standing job!
Pure excitement for the length!
I like the short Film idea and they are class mostly
1:07 Those Pens Weren't Created Until the Late 50's and 60's i think after NASA Launched a Person into space.
A**
Its hard to get pens from ww2 time era

That hair design and color were not around in the 1940's. or her clothes..
Expressions looking like "modeling video shooting at the front"
Theme of the movie is meaning full.
Nice story 👍
Nice work with camera. Also the final look is really good. Good luck to the future !

I love learning about ww2 keep up the good work
love short films story is everything its films like these that you make, then improve with each following ones, keep making more :)
Thx for making ww2 video i like ww2 video
Very nice story telling!
well done .... the end was so sad

I liked it daddy was a paratrooper 82. He said the Germans were good soldier's.
Great work!!

Make a film based on one of Sven Hassell's novels.
Nice video !
Can you show us all your weapons replicas ? And the cardboard one please?
Omg this is sad I’m sad for the Germans now I’m sad for her never lose that flower or throw it away never
Nice,good job
Great sound!!!,
Nice job👍👍
12:26 and who's that person in the background?
Cool. I'm ready to lace up my Doc Marten's and head for the front!
I came from watching a ww2 nerf battle to this cool stuff
Matthew needs to wear this outfit every day
Nice modern Papermate pen!
Short film is better than long film..
How very very sad. Young soldiers sent far away to fight. They fought and died being far away from home
Very sad indeed, they are so young ! 😱😭 Almost kids
i like where your writing with a bic pen, i got bunches of those
Odličan film!
Great Films!
No it's LBRM films
Finaly,new vídeo,yaya
Nice

Ich danke Ihnen... im Namen aller meiner Kameraden.
Why Do The Soliders Look Like Edgy 13 year olds?
Because they were all very young. Well most of them
In rl they were to
Young kids used to serve
@@KnoxzyGaming so thats why 10 million germans died
XD i turn 13 on this day well im 14 now 0-0
Was this filmed by a motorway, or is that a icy wind sound effect?
I missed your RUclips vids...
Civilian trousers under the camo combat jackets?
WHO WAS THE GUY CENTRE BACKGROUND AT 12 . 30 ?
Make a video showing us your replica weapons
Is the motorway I'm hearing in the background at 06:00 ?
Yep
Finally
Oh yes, where do you get your weapons?
Der Oberfeldwebel hatt wuschige Augenbrauen 😂.
This was made in someone's backyard at a total cost of $50.49
Ein wirklich sehr guter Film! Es ist wohl auch besser als "deutscher Soldaten" englisch zu sprechen. Denn wenn man kein Deutsch kann, versteht es niemand. Gute Arbeit!
Great work! please more scenes with soviets :-)
WW II ball point pen ? Writing when cold ?
Der sieht aus wie so ein kleiner Friedhelm Winter.
It reminds me of Dear Elze but with German troops instead. Have you watched that film?
Ich haben
Outgunned and outnumbered but resolute! Discipline and duty!
Hey I like the video but maybe make it so you can hear the men talking cause round 6:15 I can’t really hear them but hey it will do
Lol he's using a ball point pen
I also like how there's one soviet who has no purpose except to carry the flag and run.
Der Deutsche Panzerbetreiber the last part is cuz Stalin wanted the Germans to spend extra bullets and also so he could show power, overall Stalin was as evil as Hitler was
Did he survive???
The pen is an anachronism.
Dang😢😢😢
Hope I can join you one day
I want to say this as it is unrealistic for a soldier to be carrying a blue ball point pen. They would most likely be carrying a pencil.
allen liu Bruh the y are just kids
At 5:05, why is that German soldier's helmet covered in chicken wire? What's the chicken wire for?
I think to insert foliage to the helmet for camouflage.
Wow
👍👍
No pen like that in WWII
Please add English subtitle
No he better not die
A blue Bic pen??
It looked okay. Make a big movie.
I don't believe Bic ink pens were around during WW2?
A ball point pen??? They did not come along until the 1960s.
Nice film but realistc enough and amature acting ... good efford for low budget thankl you
Doesn't this short film remind anybody of Sven Hassell's novels????????
Plz yes plzz
But i like it tho
Good film, though the guy with the strumgewehr has a decidedly modern looking pink shirt tail peeking out under his tunic.
I see a lot of film where troops seem to act passively without agency. You need to understand the will to survive these faces these expressions the body language

I don’t believe those plastic is pens were available.
At 12:24 that mg42 is cardboard bruh
they Wehrmacht had blue bic ballpoint pens in 1945 ? TV antennae ? All in all not a bad short film.
JordiNP en una peli donde no se saca el nabo xdxd
А Шариковая ручка то откуда ? Из будущего ? И она серьезно пишет на морозе !?
Arigato...Gyro
I can't even watch it. He's writing with a pen that didn't even exist during WW II.
His uniform's made in China,along with his pen.
Moral of the story - No time to eat Oscar Meyer weiners on the Russian front. Sounded like it was filmed next to the autobon.
You really should not be so critical on a film with little budget and the fact this is portrayed for free really means you should appreciate what they had if you want a perfect Over the top action film go back to Holywood
nice plastic pen in the start
Wie alt ist der Anführer?
12 ?
13 ?
Ist er/ sie männlich ? Weiblich?
Im Feld benutzt man Bleistift !
Er führt in leichter Sommeruniform mit wunderbarem blütenweißen Hemd bei Eiseskälte in Russland einen Trupp winterlich gekleideter Landser an ?
Rote/ rosa Unterwäsche bei Landsern ???
Er hätte bei seiner wunderschönen Freundin bleiben sollen !!

They sound Irish
Are you guys wearing German outfits you're speaking English
