hi

the film was shot in anamorphic with panavision lens

 

the film shows the real battlefields of the french army history but now.

those locations were heavy for their respective history.

Gergovie is in France battle between gaulois and cesar's army 2000 years ago

Verdun : WW1

Plages du débarquement : WW2 (DDay beach)

Austerlitz : Napoleon against the white russian army (the tsar army, not the drink!)

Sarajevo : yougoslavia's war

Afghanistan : well you know this one.

 

a 12 days shoot

Looks beautiful, nice work! Love the anamorphic lens work. What film is the music from? It sounds very familiar - I want to say "A History of Violence" but I'm not sure.

thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed

 

the helicopter system is a continantal side mount with 2 KS12 gyros in addition

the chopper was a super puma from french army

 

the music was composed in LA it's from anthony zimmer "the thin red line" malik's film

 

ps : i wouldnt enrole myself too even if i had to ware bullet proof jacket for the afghanistan part
