Filmmakers

[Elizabeth]

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!

That sounds like an awesome project!! Kudos to you for planning ahead!
My best friend is interested in filmaking; he wants to be a movie director/producer. He's working on shooting an intricate battle scene for a movie his film group is working on right now. he's on IC, just never the forums...8) doesn't know what he's missing out on.
I myself am interested in filmaking, right now I'm actually working on the blocking for a music video set to Those Nights by Skillet to put on Youtube...
cause honestly, I was very much saddened to see that there were absolutely no appropriately themed good music videos of it. None with a positive Christian message at the ending. Sure, it's a depressing song, but that doesn't mean that all hope is given up. I really think it's more of a bittersweet reflection on memories more than anything else. So I'm working on that right now. Planning on shooting some more music videos as I progressively get better at figuring it all out.
