With so many brilliant (short) movies produced by RAT members or about RAT members, I think it's time to create a new topic for them!

RULES:

- ownership: although it's preferred that directors post their own products, it's acceptable to post links to movies made by others.
- original footage: no swiping from copyrighted material, movies made by others,etc.
- realism: I would love to see someone make a good comic movie, this is to prevent endless RTW campaign 'movies'.

Guess that no-one will ever post our little teaser about the "Amsicora war" in Sardinia, about 215. b.C.
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampsicora.

So i'm forced to post it by myselves, even if is speciefied that is better to do not.
Anyway, here it is.

These are members of my reenactment group "Memoriae Milites".
I have organized the plot, a friend of mine have worked as a cameraman and finally i have mounted it on my pc. i'ts a cheap video, made with almost nothing.

The actors are dressed with roman-punic armament and tipical Sardinian dress.

It's clearly not 'Hollywood', but that's a good thing - I like the simple realism. Well done.

Great idea Robert -- the perfect tonic to the flood of Hollywood Romans and Tinseltown Titans we have endured for far too many years.

The true quantum leap will come when someone does a feature film that is not only entertaining but faithful to history. A tough row to hoe, but a challenge worth the effort.

Nice kit, Radka. What kind of belt (buckle) did you choose? I'm currently looking into caesarian belts but find it hard to find much examples.
