1945A - WWII Sci-fi Film
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- It's 1945, and the Allies are on the verge of winning World War II, when suddenly the Nazis unleash an arsenal of super weapons straight out of science fiction turning the tides in their favor. This presentation was done on a VERY small budget. All the tanks and vehicles (Willy's jeep, Stuart tank, Sherman tank, Nazi "Spider" tank) were done with 1:6 scale models, not CGI.
My website with more info on how I work with forced-perspective and models:
www.ryannagata....
my best guess on what happened is that the Germans found a martian cylinder from The War of the Worlds and combined their technology with whatever the Martians had
Yes
Small budget? Dude the video looks very professional and looks like you had a big budget (for a short film). Ever thought of working with V2 rocket productions?
That was excellent! That spider tank looked real! Really well done, really captured the whole "wonder weapon" concept very well. Keep up the good work!
I´m German, I´m an engineer, and this is so hilarious ;P
Why
April, 1945: A new German superweapon halts Allied advances. The Germans have twenty Walkers.
May 1945: The Germans advance on both fronts with fifty Walkers. Allies capture a damaged German Walker.
June 1945: Detroit produces its first hundred Made-In-USA Walkers.
July 1945: The eighty German Walkers are overrun by five hundred union-made Allied Walkers.
August 1945: The Walkers of both sides are rendered irrelevant by the Allied atomic bombing of Berlin, Hamburg and Dresden.
awesome, thanks for sharing :)
John Burt hmmm antifa allstars huh...
John Burt
Pretty unrealistic. More like:
April 1945: Germany uses Walkers to push the Allies back
May 1945: The Laser-Technology is advanced and even german Tanks use it now
June 1945: The Germans won Time so the stealth Bomber "Horten" is ready to takeoff
July 1945: German Railguns with Laser-Turrets destroy allied forces and arrive at the french westcoast. Horten Flies to new york
August 1945: German Warships with Laserturrets conquer the british island
September 1945: England is german Territory, The Russians stopped attacking because its useless.
October 1945: A mass of horten-Bombers arrives at new York, german Warships with Laser-Cannons in Florida.
November 1945: The USA tries to drop atomic bombs to Paris, but all bombers got intercepted by the german Luftwaffe, which controlls the atlantic. The Germans capture an Atomic bomb and builds thousands of nuclear weapons.
December 1945: All US-Military Stations got destroyed by radioactive Bombs, US is out of troops.
January 1946: USA's Name got changed to "Vereinigte Staaten von Germanien". New Yorks name got changed to "Neu-Berlin".
Emre AyYildiz 1948: Germany builds the first laser weapon for the wehrmacht
Emre AyYildiz You forgot the part when Germans learn to clone themselfs and make 35 thousand billion clones that go off to space to sell ice cream to the revived Kaiser Wilhelm himself
"What in Gods name..."
"I know Sir."
"It's too late for this s***. Call artillery command; I'll inspect what's left of it in the morning."
Very nicely done, I love small independent films like this. I wish it was longer.
The Nazis copied the idea from the Wild Wild West movie with Will Smith ;)
Someone will get wooooshed, I know it
Gash dang!! Some videos on UA-cam are so amazing, well put together, and edited that they should be sent to Hollywood to show how movies should really be made.....and this is certainly one of those videos!! :D :D BRILLIANT JOB
Lets see how they fight in the daytime when P-38, P-47, P-51 & Hawker Typhoon's (tank busters) start unloading armour-piercing rocket up that thing arse!
This is CRAZY cool
OH, how long I've been looking for this video.
I'm impressed by how realistic the walker's movements are.
Nice work. Great art direction. The early shots of the Allies have a very "Band of Brothers" feel to it.
This was awesome! Especially dude firing a .45 at 4:50.
it always feels kinda weird to watch videos like this... as a german...
With a second name like Rodrigez?
harry Grant what did you expect... Something like Hans Schmidt? Or Max Müller? Besides Hunter Rodrigez isn't my real name anyways, but my real name sounds even less German
*****
Landaaaa ;) gg
Matthias Lechner I have no idea what you are talking about
You ain't no german. You're probably a mexican whose first name is bean and the second hunter.
Lovely fictional WWII movie!
Makes me wonder what life would've been like if robots and walker mechs were invented around that time.
Overly large mechs aren't really practical. the Germans tried to build a massive tank but found that it was hard to move and easy to hit, and since they had soldiers who could destroy tanks with hand held projectiles....
In fact Considering that the tanks and foot soldiers could outmaneuver the walker in this movie my suggestion would be to simply drive past it. No way it catches up to them.
Or you can shoot the commander not protected by any armor.
Last note I'm a fan of mecha, I just don't think these are very useful ones, still a cool idea for a movie.
hmm... fictional? ww2 qickly kick the technology. Radio controlled bomb with television guidance is nazi technology from 1942 ...hmm....ausgezaichnet. but, one nazi "fehrnsee bomb" cost aka 2 tiger tank.
This is really impressive! Not only the effects, but the acting is also very good, I could so easily see this being expanded into a series of shorts. As for the effects, I think too many people are too enamored with CGI, not that CGI is 'bad', but I think a lot of CGI aficionados tend to 'look down' on practical effects, but if you're on a budget and can't afford to hire ILM, I think practical effects are just that, practical :=)
Occasionally, just occasionally you find something worthwhile watching on UA-cam.
This is a prime example of this.
No the most original plot, but it is probably one of the best produced amateur clip I have seen in a really long time. What you did, you did well.
Congratulations and may you see many rewards for your work!
1945A it's the best movie I have seen since Predator!! 2 Very Big thumbs UP.!! If I;m not mistaken 1945A has won numers Oscar awards for best picture and special effects and a great story between man and machine and fight for freedom. These is one of those classic movies that can't be replicated in anyway.
I have to say... Those models you used were excellent! Much better than some top budget hollywood films! 5 stars.. if youtube had that any more....
I enjoyed this immensely!!!!!!! MUCH BETTER than some of the "Low Grade" WW2 SCI-FI films shown on the SY FY channel!!!! I'd love to see this movie in it's entirety!!!!!! And for those being a bit too critical regarding the "laser/ray gun", please keep in mind that it's a "sci-fi" film. Not an actual WW2 weapons documentary.
I admire your work, ryannagata. I have seen some of the early work of Spielberg, and I think you have done well. Best of luck.
Incredible work and graphics, you did a splendid job
I HATE CGI. Despite how useful it has become, it is quickly becoming overused in many aspects that are not even perfected as of yet. You can easily tell what is CGI and what is actually crafted. It just makes one wonder, "Why don't they just make the entire thing via CGI?" Not everything has to be in front of green screen.
Amazing work combining the models with superb visual effects!
"It was in this battle that Germany released its newest weapon. It was on this day, that the Allies new... the war was far from over."
Very good. All that was missing was the officer in the mech saying "wundebar".
Totally amazing! Incredible production values for a low budget short.
wow. funny how you find things like this on the internet. i went from watching something about the impirial guard (warhammer 40k) made by bloodrunsclear, to something called project arbiter, to this. all amazing. what i liked most about this is that you knew when to end it. you didnt try to drag it on for another 5-10 minutes, or stretch it out into a 2 hour film (like most movies do). well done.
magnificent filmmaking on a shoestring budget. well done fellows.
Well done. Of course I have to be a pain. The Walker MIGHT be able to fire one of the top canons at a time without falling over, but all 3 would knock it on it's butt. But this was a DAMN GOOD concept! BRAVO!
This had better effects than the Mutant Chronicles movie. I'd like to see more of this! Bravo!
Despite this being insane and physically impossible, it is still fricking epic. This is proof that small scale models will always be better than CGI. With the exception of some of the explosions; this wasn't too bad for a super low-budget flick. I loved the way the Kraut Spider groaned as it walked; very intimidating!
Hard to believe those were scale model tanks, they looked so real!
Im amazed. Its REALLY good, unlike 99.9% of YT shorts.
Looks better than any CGI I've ever seen! Awesome! I would definitely pay money to see a motion picture version of this...you should go for it!
Damn ... and when do a massive tank/air/arty support shows up and squish the big spider ?
Nah, seriously, you got to make a whole movie out of it. It looks very very promising.
Nothing in this presentation implies that the Americans won WWII on their own. It's a 5 minute scene about one fictional American unit LOSING to a German super machine. I'm fully aware of the contributions made by all parties involved. In fact, there is a cut scene from this presentation that involved a British major explaining the situation on the Eastern front.
You had me thinking "Okay, this I can see as sorta plausible." But then the tanks didn't even dent it. And I saw a direct hit on legs too. Then there was the laser.
But other than that, which isn't very significant in perspective, WOW-WEE!
Looks Like a scene for a full length movie I hope you get a chance to make it and the acting was top class! Amazing looking war machine!
Very ingenious and well done short. Kudos.
... On another note: would regular artillery, armour and air power not take care of a spider tank?
I showed to my grandpa who was in ww2 and asked him "Would you be scared to fight this" He said "No my men would be honored"
he was a captain in the 29th infantry
This was great, outstanding for a low-budget. Very impressed with the actors, directing, and models.
Great job! I'm trying to make a WWII movie as well. Where did you get the German/Allied uniforms and guns? This was really fantastic. I enjoyed how you had a wide range of ages to play characters, instead of just inept 18-23 year olds, you actually had 20-50. Excellent work!
Probably hired reenactors to help them with the filming, they usually bring their own weapons and uniforms with them.
I love the look of the German walker. That was cool as hell, and the film as a whole had a great look. Very nicely done. Subbed friended. Hope to see more soon.
Things like this and Project Arbiter make me despair. Only because we live in a world that will chuck 60 million dollars at crap like "friends with benefits" but there is no facility to give you a $1m investment and get you showing on national screens. Very good work on this. left me wanting to see more.
Amazing. You have just accomplished on your very small budget what I think many of us wish big-budget movies could accomplish. Excellent.
1) Aim all heavy weapons at the legs
2) Snipers target the opening where the commander is.
3) For maximum defense, minefields, especially the flamethrower mines that could melt armour
4) That laser blast would had exhausted all their power. They should had use that opportunity to attack with what they have left.
5) Air support.
The first operational assault rifle yes, but the concept of a select fire, intermediate caliber gun actually goes older than that, it was conceptualized in the 1910's by a Russian armorer, colonel Fedorov.But it never moved beyond the prototype phase, it was used by very small quantities in WW1 though.
Considering this is such a unique piece of equipment, I bet a Standartenfuhrer would probably be in command. Senior officers were often in charge of large rail road artillery pieces.
Better than a syfy original, must become full length film!
This is actually really cool. I like the details on the Nazi walker and the models work great overall. My personal favorite was the flamethrower. I'd like to see more of this stuff!
@SuperRIDDE5 Adding a few things to my previous comment:
As you can imagine, the Laser would be using A LOT of energy, so as the "Spider Tank's" main cannons failed to take out the M3 Tank and M4 Sherman, they used the lasers as their last resort. You saw how the Tanks almost managed to take it out.
If you ask me how to counter that tank, bigger AT-weapons, ramming it to the ground, or Air-support would be the best ways to take it out.
@Anthrolithos You don't understand what camp is then. John Waters is camp. The 60's Batman TV show is camp. Just because something isn't grounded enough in reality for your taste doesn't mean it's camp.
That was pretty good, good animation, ok acting. For a budget film, superb!
Actually pretty good, reminds me a little of the Luft 46' comic book series. I love alternate history stries, ideas, and movies.
i have read a article about your movie on newspaper in London UK. Good work !
@111axa1 The fact that they were firing all over the "Spider-Tank", is that it can work as a distraction of some sort. For example as you see the Bazooka-team used the distraction to fire at one of the weak-spots of it. If they had gotten some more time, they might have managed to fire a few more shots at it.
And I see the point of shooting the commander, but remember that it's difficult to hit a small target inside the Spider under that kind of situation.
Great job with this! It looks like it was a lot of fun to produce!
Good job on the short Film...really good work on it
you should put out more of this man. thumbs up if you agree
excelent work Ryan, congratulations !!, I m a RC model builder (planes), and I havent even noted that these tanks were RC models !!, good job !
Awesome. I was sad to realize it wasn't an actual movie.
Yeah, I just clicked THUMBS UP, and I was the 1,945th person to do so. I win the internets for today :-)
It looks like something out of H.G.Wells. The Allies will no doubt defeat it with that other Wellsian concept: air superiority.
Very nice job! The acting was good, too! Very cool!
Nicely done. I wish it was longer but you got the most out there in such a small time frame.
Very cool and it shows some good production values, though the Allied tanks did look like models a bit. It was the tank commander on one that did it. Otherwise, very well done. It reminds me a lot of Gear Krieg.
awesome work, very impressive! wish hollywood would make a full length movie about this.
I like how the German officer uses a microphone to relay orders when his soldiers are right next to him
hollywoodwerewolf Imagine all the noise. That's why he used a microphone.
Pretty cool. Looks like a scene from my Luftwaffe-Kamikaze 1946 graphic novel series published a decade ago, except in my version the Americans are facing a Japanese "Kasei-Gata" spider fortress tank during Operation Coronet in April 1946.
Very impressive work!! I agree with Kellythesinger, in that I'd like to see this made into a full length movie too. It doesn't have to be 2 hours long, (though that would be cool). It can be either a "Short" or a "What if" type of story.
Love the vehicle models too.
He did: Star Wars! Believe me there's a lot of action there if you haven't seen Star Wars yet. Well I'm not saying there is more action or better directing then there is in 1945A but it does have punch to compete with 1945A. Check it out if you can still find it anywhere. Not many people have Seen Star Wars but I have to tell you these guy who made Star Wars is almost as good as these guy who made these classic 1945A movie.
@ryannagata Dude, I MAJORED in film studies in college. My teacher told me the key elements of camp are: Frivolity, Ostentation, Exaggeration, and Excess enough to create a cult following. It turns the tacky and vulgar into something "valid". QED: comic books (and all subsidiary media associated to them), and your short film count as camp.
If I had a couple million dollars I would help turn this into an entire fucking film.
Well done Movie. Keep up the good work!
This was actually pretty awesome! The effects weren't CGI (which I like; models are much better than CGI in my opinion), but they were pretty effective. One little nitpick: the shoulder boards on the German weren't correct.
Excellent job with editing and special effects. I like the use of models (good old school stuff). Still the film could use a better script - GIs shooting a tank with rifles and machine guns (inc. Captain with its trusty .45)? Perhaps it could do better as some tongue and cheek stuff. No Nazi superweapon could not turn the tide of the war in 1945, just stall the inevitable - Russians were knocking at Berlin's gates at that time. Anyway it's still a great vid :) Thanks for posting!
ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CINEMA-SHORT- FILM.
WHEN WILL YOU BE SELLING THE 2HR. VERSION ON DVD?
I WILL DEFINITELY, BUY A COPY!
ALL THE BEST,
TEHUNZU.
The most intelligent informed response I have ever read on you tube. Thanks for the info.
I liked it!!!!!
simply great...the uniforms, the ambientation, the whole war atmosphere.......
congratulations, great viideo
"Okay tahts our cue to go." hahah this was awesome
That was freak;in AWESOME! That should be on Sy-Fy
Excelent piece of Sci fi!!!
CONGRATULATIONS from Mexico!!
This is not a Nazi version of the Imperial Walkers from Star Wars: the Empire Strikes Back, it's a Nazi version of the Martian Walkers from H.G. Wells 'War of the Worlds'. The original story and its radio version (RKO's 'Martian Invasion' broadcast) predated WW2.
Ryan - what an excellent job! I am very impressed by your work here, both imaginatively and technically.
Now I wanna see the whole alt-history film!
This is actually pretty good. It's very retro-y.
Wow! That really came together! Great job.
i would come out shoosting with the laser first.
Very well done. I added it to my favorites.
The story line well maybe not the greatest understandable that you only have a few minutes. But the special effects were of a high production quality and authenticity of uniforms and equipment was very well done. I have watched made for sci fi movies that were not half a good.
This Firegun would never been used but its a great film.
HAHAHAHA!! That was awesome!!! The acting was good, too.
Shit man this would make an awesome full feature.
Ahh, ok - now it all makes sense :o)
Wow, I really could see this as a t.v. show, it was great I really enjoyed it.
A blockbuster trailer?... great job!!
No part two? Dang. Heck of a cliffhanger. Well done but heckuva way to end it.
the laser was kinda overdoing it, but was pretty cool to watch
really nice film, didn't look like a small budget at all!
