Need Extra's for a WW II Paratrooper film

[billymod]

if you have the full kit for a WW II Paratrooper, that would be Normandy era with the 42's and brown corcorans let me know. We will be filming the weekend of the 24&25 in the portland washington area. I will get full stats if anyone is interetsed.

This will be a non paid gig, but it is a full length feature based on the true story of the 82nd Pathfinders.

if you are interetsed please send me a pm, and try to include a pic if possible, just so I can check your equipment. Saturday will mostly be just uniforms based on a pre invasion base set up, sunday might be a D-Day +1 setup.

OK, here is the mother hen stuff:
must look the part, and will need to listen to direction.

this is your opportunity to be in a movie.

cheers!
Bill

Bill, be sure to post this on Battlesim's website as well. They have a lot of WWII enthusiasts in WA who may be willing to make the drive.

Hey "PM" me some more info on this, I have a complete set, and by complete, I mean EVERYTHING. I would be more than happy to come down and lend you all a hand.

If you can, talk to the guys at Friends of Willie and Joe. They do 82nd reenactments and I'm pretty sure they would be up for this.

I actually live down in California, but will be up there that weekend for the filming. I actually do 101 down here in the California Historical group, and WW II RPS.

ok, I am going to ask a favor. these sites are all foreign to me, so can you guys post up on those. get me some numbers, I will call the director tomorrow and get more stats so I can post something of better info up.

I just know it is at a base with a ton of old buildings, and there are going to be trucks, jeeps, and of course cameras.

the saturday like I said it is pre-battle, but the sunday is D-DAY +1 one so full equipment would be needed.

it would be great to have you guys on board. authenticity is a must though, so clean cut haircuts, and shaved faces a must.

We have VERY FEW and I mean VERY FEW members with authentic/WWII kit. Asking on a more WWII AS oriented board will board much better results.

try thewardept.org

we have plenty of paratroopers

[billymod]

guys the main thing needed for saturday is uniform and boots, the field gear not as much for everyone. plus a good airsoft Thompson will get by for a backround weapon.

[billymod]

guys the filming is this coming weekend, just a follow-up anyone interested please contact me or the link above. Like I said for Saturday all you need is the uniform, boots, and a hat. that is an easy fill. if you have a uniforms, but not boots, you can wear any military boot and you will be in backround. The uniform is the 1942 jumpsuit, it can be re-inforced or not.

cheers!
Bill

[billymod]
