    Hi,

    I have made a one minuet WW2 film with re-enactors from the UK. It is currently in the first round of judging for the 60 second BAFTA award. If it makes it through then the film will go to a public vote on the 28th of January.

    You can view the film online now at:

    Bafta 60 Seconds - sixtysec - Shoulder to Shoulder

    If you like the film then please pass on the message and help a film made by a 20 year old filmmaker and UK Re-enactors receive a BAFTA nomination.

    I would also love to hear what you think about the film, as WW2 enthusiasts, your opinion really maters to me.

    Thanks,

    Will McGregor

    P.S. I am planning to continue making WW2 films, if anyone feels they have something to offer or just want to be involved then let me know.

    I like it! It's fantastically professional, interesting subject matter and well thought out. Shortfilms often attempt to do too much but it's good that with 60 seconds you showed someone 'having a moment.'

    Good stuff.

    Will,

    Good Job! Looked very good, even with your shoe-sting budget.

    The editing shows the confusion of and urgency of the situation.

    Is there more?

    Very nice! I have always wanted to make a short film myself with other re-enactors involved. What kind of camera was being used, and how did you get the film processed?
