I never have seen sharpshooters in the trees, that's pretty cool

Really good. The narrator is awesome

This is nice. Me and my brother recently got a 16mm Filmo 70DL camera and we’re gonna shoot some film on the USS Lexington for our 17th birthday. Thanks for this video i couldn’t find anything in b&w that was reliable as this one. Thanks again👍🙂

call in that artilley

TWO WEEKS, TWO WEEKS TWO WEEKS.

why is there a union sharpshooter fighting for the confederacy?

How did you make the falling effect?? It looks cool!

Excellent! Looks and feels quite real.

Nothing about this is correct...

Wow! Thank you so much! I was there as a Confederate Soldier ( 05:08). Great video and footage. See you at Fort Clinch!

honestly, if you shoot one of these cameras at f4 you can get an interesting bokeh effect that I haven't really seen on other lenses

this is perfect. i would give up my sad ass life to do this. (i know that war sucks, my life sucks more)

I just won a Golden Shield model from an auction last night for $36 and stumbled upon this video in my research. Very well made, thank you!

When u find cameras like this at estate sales, do you typically find ones that are in working order? Or do u have to fix them yourself? And if it's the latter, how have you been able to figure that out? Thanks!

Nice video. Thanks. I will be using my Argus C3 for WW2 reenactment.

dude! thank you so much. my friend is selling a Kodak M18 and i gasped because i wanted it so much. this helps. thanks!

I could not tell the difference if this was a real news clip or not! Excellent work!

What a story. Love it. Movie material.

I really wanna attend this this year

By 1970 Im sure Marines weren't issued M-14's which most preferred over the M-16A1..

Also can use interchangeable lenses.

It's been used in a few movies because of itsSeampunk look.

quite a bit of action on the field *LIKED* and *SUBSCRIBED* -- sending you a personal invite to checkout our groups as well.

1:00 "They're in the trees!!"

Amazing!

I wanted to fly out to see this at the film festival so bad. Thank you for preserving history.

Any updates on a release?

Holy hell this is incredible. What kind of camera did you use for this and where was this shot?

Tarawa was no joke. It was pure Hell

Nice work, looks great

Excellent Tommy!!!

Great job filming Tommy!! Your team did an excellent job at acting like they were under fire too

Love the attention to detail and the unit cohesion you guys have in the video

Ok you guys could drop the volume and add an old grainy black and white filter and pass this off as historical footage. The attention too detail is insane. Damn fine job

Hans, are we the bad guys?

One of the more immersive and good looking units i’ve seen, good job

The good Ole Big Red One. Makes me feel proud. Grandpa was in 1st division from late 42 til wounded out of action In early 45. Today is actually his birthday. If he were alive he would be 105 today. Thanks for sharing this.

Looking good . I need to get back into WW2 unfortunately no reg GI units close that are active

Honestly that first minute was real tense.😬

Great work as always! Looks amazing

German & prewar cameras are great…. Lets see! Thats what I mostly collect! Thanks

Beats what I did last weekend.

Ever seen a Universal Mercury II? Just recently found out about them, it was the American response to the expensive and more advanced German cameras of the time. They were the price of an Argus C3 but more capable. They're pretty cool, they use a rotary focal plane shutter similar to what was used in professional movie cameras and could go up to 1/1000

Superb video. Thanks for the historical living history.

Thank you for your review! Very useful

One of the few videos that actually details how the focal plane shutter is used! Thanks so much

“Pinecones are Grenades”

All the good reenactments are in the Ohio area apparently.

REally cool - I share your enthusiasm. Hope all well.

This was just the video I was looking for on the Speed Graphic!! Great Job! I'm shopping for a Speed Graphic now as I type this. 😂 I'm a long time film user and recently went digital, but decided I really need to get back to film where I did my best work. Thanks very much.😊
