Our Father is a good representation of a World War 2 short film should look like. The camera work and not to mention the color grading was perfect for the film's tone and feeling. Customer Craig Leonard also really nailed both uniforms and weapons. The director, Calum Rhys, did a great job with his one. This guy has some great potential. However I do feel the muzzle flashes felt a bit off. Maybe this could be fixed with some smoke elements? But now I'm just nitpicking. Overall I really enjoyed the short film, I'd love to see more content from you. Well spent 15 minutes.

Astonishing work i really enjoyed this short. The connection to the sergeant was powerful and when he died it was upsetting. Overall 9/10 only because the long shot of the perfectly paved road and field with the church looked like a modern timezone not something im WW2, however take this with a grain of salt this film was a work of art

As a opposed to what some these days think my Dad and his generation knew what they were fighting for and for that matter as experienced by many they didn't want to be where they were or see what no man young or old saw. Thanks to my Dad ( Canadian army) my uncle Paul(RCAF) And my uncle Jim (RCN) I owe a debt of gratitude that never be repaid. This film sums it up.

@harryeverett2152 7 лет назад

Camera Quality and angle of shots is beautiful. Dress is perfect, weapons are too. However i feel that some of the noises from explosions were off, and so too the weapons. Further, the way the actors were holding them wasn't too great. The kid that was shot first, his death felt as if it was somewhat put on, such as when he closed his eyes to die.. that dosnt generally happen.

@gustavvingtoft2362 7 лет назад

Great movie, I really enjoyed it. Distance between the soldiers walking on the road should be much greater (5-10 meters). One grenade or machine gun could take them all out, when they walk so close. Besides in an open terrain like that, in that small group, they would never walk in a line like shown, but in disarray. The LMG should be in front and when they stop for the vehicle its not when they are 10 meters from it, but as soon as they see it, which would be far greater distance than in the movie. Last but not least the Sergent would never be the one to go up and check a vehicle. Besides that good job! The costumes were on point!

Really nice to see a British unit for a change but I did spot a few random things: * the area being used to film did not look a lot like Normandy (which the sign to Caen clearly shows) * The mention of Pegasus Bridge confuses me as this would imply they were Ox and Bucks Light Infantry but they do not wear the correct kit for a glider borne unit) * Instead of a sergeant the section leader should have been a corporal (and he would never have been called sarge, but sarn't) * Weapon handling drills can be poor at certain points e.g. putting your hand under the Bren would be painful as it ejects cases downwards... * As almost every film I know I want to know how Germans carrying MP40s carry their ammunition as they have Kar98 ammo pouches. I know this all sounds really picky but I appreciate the film, the excellent cinematography, the script and the acting and will be looking for others by you.
