Okay,
My bro and I want to make a medieval movie next summer. We thought we'd start planning early so we are looking for props now.

We have battle ready swords for about $15 each w/ no shipping needed so I think we are okay on those. I'm now looking for helmets. Reasonable pricing would be nice. The cheapest ones I have found are about $30 plus shipping. Any type of helmet as long as it isn't greek or roman. Chain mail coifs are also fine. If you know of any place that sells them online cheap please reply!

BTW if you can find a cheap bow that looks like it could be featured in a medieval movie, (Meaning no yellow, fiberglass bows or compound bows). Or if you know how to make an arrow so you can hit someone with it and not kill/severely injure people please reply!

P.S. If you know of an extremely simple design for a catapult that isn't huge or costs lots of $$$$$ to build please post. It needs to be cheap because we are going to torch it in the movie! Fire Arrows!

Wow Nick, that sounds like fun! Been watching the Pendragon trailer too many times, huh?

Well I don't know much about medival stuff(gear) but I'm a composer so when you get to the point of needing one, feel free to contact me! (if you want) Also you should definately check out Christianfilmmakers.org, lots of great info from people there.

Good plan to start early. Nothing like standing there, the night before the first shoot, and trying to figure out which scenes to film the next day.
