Mr-X Posted February 2, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 2, 2010 This is a short video taken during our weekend photo-shoot with a friend's M-3 Stuart Light Tank. The photo-shoot was for my next article in WW2 Re-enactors Magazine. A fellow forum member took the vid with his small digital camera and then mixed it to look old. We took over 300 pics and they look fantastic. I hope you like the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Meatcan Posted February 2, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 2, 2010 cool video! must have been some fun to play with a real tank. I was surprised how much the Stuart, for such a little turd of a tank, sounded like something much bigger engine-wise. thanks for posting! :thumbsup: Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ww2reproductions Posted February 5, 2010 Share #5 Posted February 5, 2010 It was a fantastic photo shoot. We used just a few extra props like rations, cups and a 1943 womans weekly magazine and this worked a treat. Rule of thumb keep it simple and not to much clutter. Being a former tanker I felt at home in that machine.....The noise and that gasoline smell....mind you I was a lot thinner back then and I am sure the hatches must have shrunk over the years! As we all know metal parts do? So apart from the photo shoot I guess I am now in the movie making business. Hopefully the next one I will have a $20million budget? What you may not know is one of the crewman is a woman and her pink fingernails held up very well. She is now qualified on light tanks and I will be filling out her WW2 drivers licence in time for our next event. The video was taken with a Nikon "Coolpix L15" camera and the video was put together using standard windows movie makes (vista version) it took about 1 hour all up.

Mr_Flibble Posted February 6, 2010 Share #10 Posted February 6, 2010 Had a ride in one back in 2005 at Beltring War&Peace. The darn thing ate one of my contact lenses while crawling into assistant driver position. Cool video though, Thanks for posting. I love the look of the M3 light tank.

Hey Lee, the article that this photos shoot belongs to will be published in issue 5. The very latest issue (#4) has part two of my series on Re-enacting the Australian Army in WW2.

ww2reproductions Posted February 10, 2010 Share #16 Posted February 10, 2010 I used the windows movie maker, the aging filters are part of it and the secret is not to go overboard on the aging process. I used grey scale and the first aging setting. If you follow the help guide its easy, just practice. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
