This is a work in Progess TEASER TRAILER using new footage from Principal Photography.

it will evolve ever few days until it's final.

Check out more info at www.horrorsofwarmovie.com

Great to see some of the new footage. :cool:

Playing down the zombie angle to make it more mysterious now?

Awesome weaponry, btw. I'd pay good money to be able to fire off a few rounds from that Howitzer.

The ending "coming soon" titles seemed too bright & sharp, in contrast to the rest of the footage, imo. (Didn't like the opening bugle call, either)

Aside from that, looks kick-ass. :)

Looks great PJR!

Only a couple of gripes here: 1) some shots were of the dreaded actor talking with no sound, 2) as mentioned by Zen, the Title should be played down...maybe loose the flare traveling across screen.

This is not a gripe, more of a suggestion: play up the horror aspect. I think a lot of folks will see this and think it more a war movie than a horror movie.

That footage looks fantastic. I am getting revved about this one.

Poke

I love that teaser. Really incredible. Horrors of war is going to do amazing- I want an autographed copy!!!!
Good job Petey boy!
I re-emphasize Zen's KICK-ASS.

and here's my "Behind the Scenes" look at DAY 3

Note Scott Spears on the Super 16 camera and me in my Cincinnati Reds cap (I was named after Pete Rose and Johnny Bench after all...)

Oh man!
That looks like the kinda shoot I'd love to be on!
I hope all goes well in post! Keep that behind-the-scenes stuff coming! Anything "Horrors of War" I can get my hands on, I will!!

More on the way soon..

Blogs of War. I like the plane interior- very saavy.

The plane interiors look amazing on super 16mm film....
I may have to steal that theme... BLOGS OF WAR. I dig it lots.

Thanks.

Excellent work Peter, a hell of a long way from Pulp Diction, (which I still think is one of the funniest things I've ever seen).

Wow, this thing looks sweet, lots of hard work put into it. What kind of budget were you working with?

I'm not allowed to disclose our actual budget, but "under $1million" is the official statement.

Okay, we finished a trailer for the AMERICAN FILM MARKET, but it's HEAVY on the SPOILERS!

thought u didn't want to spead this one out? :)

Johnny

I gave the spoiler warning...Tony @ Hollywood Wizard put it online, not me. If it's there, I might as well let some people see it.

Peter! I have to say that is some awesome work man...

Total congratulations on that...

When does it come out in a theater near me?

I have no idea. We're se to sell it to distributors next week at AFM. I'll have a better idea in December/January as to release dates.

WARNING! SUPER SPOILERS AHEAD!

Sonny, Thats pretty sweet. You're feature is really coming along. Did you make those tanks or do you rent them from some prop place?

I know you're the borderline pro and all but If I had to make any constructive remark, I'de have to agree with the bugle thing. It was a bit too much.

Just a visual I had with the opening scene to the trailer. You having it kind of grainy and in B&W slowly transisioning into color. Im guessing you want to throw people off with the opening score but I think its more dramatic if you were to have some string instruments playing slowly with sort of a Mystery theme to them. Then the classic *Chuck* instrumental sound that You would here in the shower curtain of Psycho.

Just my input.

Hope to see the film in its entirety

PS, Who did the 3D effect with the bomber? I've been trying to look for a Tutorial on how to make a parachute open up like that. Did you morph it in Max or use Reactor ?

King, which trailer are you referring to? The original one or the new one just posted?

Don Drennan did our plane renders (when they are CGI, although some are real!). He did it all using LIGHTWAVE, and made his own textures from digital photos of a real bomber at the Air Force Museum.

The Tanks are real (all of them), and we go them through WWII re-enactors who made most of the movie possible with guns, props, tents, jeeps, vehicles, uniforms, advice, and more.

Less than a year ago I was making DV shorts, same as everyone else on the site...

"TEASER (new) ". The one you posted at the beginging of this thread.

So, I havnt been on here in a while. Are you actually getting funded to do a full length feature? Did you find investors or is this all out of your own pocket? Looks expensive.

I just now remembered you telling me the Bomber was created from Lightwave but for some reason I thought it was 3D Studio max.

The Parachute scene is pretty cool. Good luck with your film.

Looks really good… just wondering what the budget was for this film.

King, I was the script super on this film, and I can assure you it's a full feature film. The Boo man is characteristically humble, but he and his team did indeed find representation and $$$ to shoot this past summer. I can't wait to see the finished film, cause I know what everyone went through to make it happen. It was an AWESOME experience. Can't thank Sonnyboo enouugh for bringing me on board. Had a Blast!

Even though I am personally opposed to trailers that contain spoilers, I gotta admit, this works pretty well to sell the film! :)

Fully funded (past tense...), private investors and an executive producer.

Finished principal photography July 9th-31st, and even one day of pickups last month. We're in the final throes of post production in a mad rush. We're doing the sound mix and scoring plus some visual FX work for the next 2 weeks before calling it truly "final" and doing the online edit & last colour correction.

It was expensive compared to every DV (and even film) short I've ever done, but alas, it was still a very low budget production, especially for a period WWII action piece with tons of extras and explosions plus a monster or two. Note to self: Next time start a little less ambitious for first time feature...

Yeah, I'm not too concerned with the old teaser these days. We're still planning on doing a public trailer based on the SPOILERIFIC AFM trailer.

Looks really good… just wondering what the budget was for this film.

I am not permitted to disclose the actual amount. Officially "Under $1million", but there are a lot of numbers under a million...

Christine Chapman did an excellent job as script super. She even came back for the pickup day. Her notes were used on the edit a lot and helped us immeasurably.

That was a really good teaser, I can't wait to see the movie, I was wandering what cameras did you use to film this, and roughly how much did it cost, and is there any way for me to contact Wizard Films?

It might be helpful to read the other posts, or visit the website if you have these questions. Lots of them have been answered already.

I agree with Spats... most of your questions are answered within 3-4 posts right before this... Thanks though!

We shot with a BL 35mm camera, a CP-16 regualr 16mm camera, an Arri SR3 super 16mm camera, a Nikon R10 Super 8 camera, and also a Belieu super 8 camera. Entirely shot on FILM.

Looks good. I liked it.

The only thing I didn't dig was the werewolf effects.

But the war stuff looked good. Loved the planes.
