Default Boy Scout Film Project

A few monthes back, me and my Boy Scout troop went to a forest to shoot an amatuerish war film for our Film making Merit Badge. It's basically about a paratrooper getting captured by Left wing socialist Guerillas (who speak in faux German accents) and a rescue team going behind enemy lines to retrieve him. We use sticks to improvise as weapons (altought a guy named Daniel Brennan carried a pair of wooden revolvers). I played Coporal Marco O'Connell, third in command of the rescue team. I barely had any lines, so I just kept aiming my stick. I always imagined carrying a M2 Carbine (my favorite rifle) and a Webley Mk VI revolver as my sidearm, while the Captian carried a MAT-49 submachine gun, the Seargant carried a MAS-38 submachine gun, the two Privates (both are new scouts) carried Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII rifles, and our light machine gunner carried a Browning Automatic Rifle.I imagined the guerillas would carry WWII Soviet and Nazi weapons. The leader, Chancellor Warsaw Stalin, would carry a MP-40 submachine gun. The rest of the guerillas are either carrying Mosin-Nagants, or Karibiner 98k's. We also made some sort of light machine gun out of logs and lashings that looked like a Lewis gun (the Guerillas used and Brenan carried it tying a rope on it to use as a sling). We used a dried up river as a setting and there was a small cave which we used for the Guerilla's base. I filmed the final battle at the bridge.

You ought to post it on youtube (unless you want to keep your identity a secret)

We've thought about doing that, but we're still not sure.

back when I was in Airsoft, my team made an ad video for one of their games.

If you do post it, let us know. I've always considered doing something like that with my friends except we'd use airsoft instead of wood. I promise I wont tell anyone your identity.

The guy who directed our project, Karl, has decided to do a sequel when it gets warmer, and I'm going to write the screenplay. My idea is that the team from the original project is sent into the Bananna Rebuplic (an island in between Cuba and Puerto Rico), to overthrow the evil dictator Dirt E. Sanchez (there is a pun in the name). For the sequel, I'll use my airsoft M1911A1 and my little brother's airsoft, pistol gripped shotgun.
