After I film my RAF movie, I'm not sure what I'm going to make next. By senior year, which is in 2 years, I need to have one done about the 82nd Airborne for my graduation project.
I was thinking we could all collaborate on a movie. I'll tell you the props, costumes, and resources I have:
Props
In the line of weapons, I have a Colt .45, Thompson (drum barrel), Springfield rifle, Luger, 2 MP-40s, P-38, and I'm hoping to get more soon. I also have some miscellaneously items such as medals, gear, flags, etc...
Costumes
My uniforms sometimes are criticized because they're expensive to make and I don't want to spend too much on it. They are respectable for the most part though, I'll try and get some pictures up eventually. I have 1 US 82nd Airborne Uniform, 1 US Ranger Uniform, 2 Nazi sentry uniforms with trench coats, 1 Nazi uniform (Mediterranean 1941), 1 US Bastogne uniform, 2 US Dress uniforms (army), and I think that's it. I could easily scrounge up civilian uniforms as well.
Resources
Near me there is a restore C-47 as well as a Willy's Jeep, and an ME262. I have a forest across the street and neighbors who don't mind reenactments going on out there. I have a giant field and old looking houses. My basement even looks like a bomb shelter from the war. Also, in my basement, I have a 24'x10' green screen, which I'm still figuring out, but I'll get it to work eventually.
Does it give anyone ideas? If you want to see some of my old work, you can see it here:

(I'm the one in the NON Vietnam uniform, with the M1 Garand)
It was filmed in 1 day with no preparation, so it isn't as good as a planned movie will be.
