I'm normally one of those who would nitpick unrealistic sniper's behavior to death, but I am very pleasantly surprised at this movie. It is way more realistic and accurate than most Hollywood blockbuster sniping scenes. A spotter with a normal short range scope, a sniper who uses his secondary on close range and not walking around looking through his long range scope while walking... this is good stuff. Would love to see this as a full length movie. Of course if it were too realistic, no one would watch it as a movie except maybe for gamers and veterans but I think for a movie audience, the realism and accuracy is spot on in the right direction. Just the other day i saw a snipe short that at first looked good, but once the sniper asked his spotter to range the target, and the spotter pulled out a kestrel, shook it in front of his head like a cocktail mixer and said "500 yards away" :D :D :D So this clip right here is a blessing to watch ;) Loved it!
the film was freaking awesome. The camera shot especially the one facing in the sky while the snipers were running. Ive never seen a shot like that. The acting was so good it surprised me. Usually these short films have terrible actors. Yours film is by far one of the best ive seen on youtube.
Speaking on the production standards, it is absolutely excellent. It is also FAR better than a LOT of MEGA budget mainstream films of today. Just goest to show that the grammatical rules of film making i.e. story, filming, lighting, directing, acting and editing are still as valid now as they were a hundred years ago. The human being hasn't changed at all; at least nowhere near to the extent that modernity would like to have us believe. This looks like a GREAT film, and I even thought that it WAS big budget. Very well done.
Не согласен. Идеальную прямую можно провести по линейке.Но эта идеальная линия не будет не только художественной ценностью, но даже произведением искусства. так и этот фильм. На чьей стороне мораль мораль в фильме? Не известно, потому что нет сюжета в принципе.также и свет - съемка подобрана под освещение, нет ни полумрака, ни ночи, ни осадков. Операторская съемка хорошая.
I enjoyed watching your film short, It's always fun to see what people can create. Don't worry too much about procedural errors, that level of detail comes it time. Good Job, keep it up !
This is actually a pretty sweet film! There are a few slip-ups, some small (camo, gear, etc) and some larger (the reaction to sniper fire, letting the guy go - though that has actually happened in real-life: Bravo Two Zero, Operation Red Wings) but overall it was very good. One nice thing is that the portrayal of "silenced" gunfire is pretty accurate; more hard thumps and less squeaky puffs. A little bit of feedback is maybe less orange? I don't like how many war films seem to think that combat has to be monochrome for some reason. The Thin Red Line is a good example of the type of cinematography that I like in a war film, less monochrome and shaky cam, and more sharp, hard, almost piercing colour and steady camera work that leaves a haunting and unique "style" (is that the right word? I don't know much about shooting films myself!) combined with an amazing score. Kokoda: 39th Battalion is another great example. Keep up the good work, hope you make it big someday!

well done!!! I started watching assuming it was a clip from a big budget show, got caught up immediately... then was surprised was a student film. Bravo!
To everyone saying “this isn’t a normal reaction to a sniper”: When your boy gets dropped by a shot from a half mile away that you couldn’t even hear, maybe you run, or maybe you take one last drag of that cigarette while you wait for the next one to send you home alongside him. Another man has crawled into a nest you’ll never see, is deciding your fate. War is hell. A lot of men don’t care if they die. A soldier makes these decisions. Thank you for the expert armchair comment section
I figured it was cause that guy was an informant for the US, he led them to the target, hence the title of the film. He knew he wasn't going to get hit.
You should be pleased with that. For a student made film I thought the filming (angles/lighting) was spot on. I hope you do well with it as a career option.
You do realize that after a sniper drops his target, that man's comrades usually respond with a shitload of return fire, maybe some mortars, then a really pissed off and jacked up fire team is sent to hunt down the snipers.Simply returning to their tent while smoking a cigarette is not a normal reaction.
*****+Arnold EI It is called dramatic license. I am by no means an expert on snipers like you guys clearly think you are but I have watched a movie called Sniper from the 90s. Don't know if it is the same one. But, that has some stinkers. In the opening sequence, the range for the shot is confirmed as 650 yards. Moments before the shot, AFTER he had his target centered in his scope, he swings the muzzle of the rifle at least 10 degrees. At 650 yards a change of only a single degree in the angle of the muzzle to the target would mean that the target would have to move 11.34 yards laterally in order for the shot to hit. If he actually had to swing his rifle ten degrees in the span of a second in order to keep his target in view, that would mean the target was sprinting at a speed of 340.32 feet per second, or about 232 miles per hour, and had covered 113.44 yards during that time. Absolutely impossible. So by your standards Sniper 1993 is a poor source for a sniper movie. Once again it is a movie! We want to be entertained
+Brian W No problem :) I had seen the movie before and remembered its inaccuracy. For someone who is okay at maths I was able to quickly jot down some numbers for you to illustrate just how inaccurate the move is. Glad I could put 20mins to good use and teach you something.
Initially I thought this was a two-hour long movie, but someone has put a clip of 12 minutes here. At the end, I understood this video is a short movie. well done.
Now I understand why most military personnel barely have a high school diploma. Guy with some brains: "Do you know what that guy did to deserve that bullet?" Other soldier: "Who cares I'm just a mindless order follower if they wanted me to kill children I would, you know because I can't think and need someone else to do it for me durka derrr...."
Nick…. really good short, being a former recon marine I see a lot of inaccuracies. But it's a student film…shorts are most the time very hard to make in the sense of a beginning middle and end all in 15 minutes or less. But it will make you a very strong writer and film maker. It's better to learn your mistakes on small projects than on a big one. Stay focused , stay humble ,always look to where you can improve and learn. And always congrat yourself on what you've done and the journey will be a blast.
So his friend gets shot a foot away form him and he just casually lights his cigarette and returns to his tent after standing there for about 15 seconds... come on man...
Big Chaz Gaming ..hey it's not real ha..I'm a army man in india before we go camps and patrolling 1st we tested a dron cams now..just we walk before 30 /40 feet..and we r go an a group like jumbling not an a sheps.🐐..we learn all from my commando in trying days..in traing days only have a opportunity to learn all this..camping.runing.walking.shotting.escaping and trowing bombs firing all is good memories i have in my traing..🇮🇳
I won’t go into my history, but.....”cigarette guy” looks to have sold out his friend, An HVT, to American Intelligence with the understanding he would assume control of the rebels and stay clear of American interests in that area. It also explains that look of recognition he gave in the direction of the squad, and the fact he wasn’t dropped reinforces my assessment. I started watching actually thinking it was a clip of a movie I wasn’t aware of. When I saw the flurry of action after the gunman was dropped and the sniper actually walking upright as he took out his man CQ. Oh, I’m impressed by the camera work as well. But, earlier in the film they wouldn’t be crossing a field in a DZ walking upright.
It was a great short film .. the film story , the effect and the camera position was good are completely awesome .. hope you can a full action film like this .. i like this .. great job Nick
good job guys! Make some more films....looking forward to see done of your new stuff. those that aren't doing shit are always criticizing those that are. Keep up the good work!
I've been looking for great short films ( is it called like that in english???) for many years but I've never seen such an amazing one before! Maybe the reason for that is that I live in Germany ;)...But please go on making films like that because it everytime is nice to watch such great videos!
If u don't kill them they won't kill u.. But if u kill them they will not let u live...... USA has been defeated,..because they messed with wrong people......far more better than films.
Mr. John We Afghans not enemy for American people not only for America for all world we love Live. But YOU KNOW MR JOHN ENEMY FOR AMERICAN IST PAKISTAN BUT U DON'T HAVE BALLS TO Talke about Pakistan
To veterans: Have you seen a reaction like the bad guy who says nothing and continues smoking? And why the sniper doesn't kill that bad guy too? I don't say it's not realistic because I have no experience of real combat in Afghanistan but I saw people reacting differently according to the stress or the culture
Not as a Primary, if the torso is visible, and body armor is unlikely. (As depicted in this scene). However, there are circumstances when a Sniper, or Sharpshooter, or Designated Marksman, Might opt for a head shot. Much better than most of the Hollywood Movies about Iraq and Afghanistan since September 11th 2001!
They always present their soldiers as they are filled with humanity and mercy... I don't know what happened to them in countries like Iraq, Afghanistan or Vietnam... Too many war crimes and innocent killings
The combat sense are missing some reality, but a great show of how humanity works. For some there is a great struggle. For others, we have lost that struggle and exist only in nightmares.
Delta Force is a triangle in forward. It's a Trinity in sight. It's a clarer view. It's dignity. It's empowered. The Delta project took 10 years of experienced engineering. 2 years of in flight experience and a call when you answered made The American war in Pakistan and Iran successful complete. Dedication, determination, success against the enemy, hard will, determination to win, to never give back to hold town to never let down and win. That is the Iraqi way. The I will always win in battle battle for me is the go back. The determined effort to remind those you served, we do have something in common. Inexperience, married for gawkers, dangerous lies, sad, unspoken mistakes. These all go grave illnesses. This disassociated life we live is in volvul of the Christ. The living one. The me in you Iraqi. I am part Creed and part Humm. I have gravity part. We don't know how to share a secret. We don't know how to share a fact. Who did we steal from. Why did it there. Who was it there? These things are for investigation. Going to church in the 1990's wasn't going to comment your life on the Christ. I am proud to tell you I don't give a fucking care if I see you today or tomorrow. Christ you are the Jesus in my heart and I know you're watching me. I took your job with heart and prave. I love you soul. Good night.
After a sniper completes a mission they don't go back a few hundred yards and eat lunch. They are in Indian country, you di di now, they know you are there and will be looking for you. As a special operations person its hard to watch things like this that break fundamental rules.
