It's just a short, I'm sure you can find the whole version online.
I won't tell you how it develops not to spoil the end, but it surely taught me something I didn't know!

The British pilot is the same guy that was in Rocknrolla, another good movie ;)

Yeah, this was a short movie where someguy did a lot of CGI work. I think the real movie only lasts like 10-15 minutes.

One way to see it. It starts at 1:16

Well, nice movie, but no "real" German would say :
"Stell die Pistole weg". :)

It's from a film called The german by Nick Ryan.

Nick Ryan will be posting the whole movie on Vimeo soon. He's currently working on a new film about K2, the mountain.

I'd love to see an Air war over Europe movie made with points of view from both sides like the 1969 Battle of Britain. One like that has never been made only things like Memphis Belle and 12 O Clock High. Probably never will happen.

I would love to see a movie about Galland and the war from his perspective.

I recently completed my second short film 'The German', starring Toby Kebbell (Control, RocknRolla and the up-coming Prince of Persia) and Christian Brassington (Elisabeth: The Golden Age and Easy Virtues). I wrote and directed the film.

The blurb!

November 1940, during the greatest conflict man has ever known, an epic duel unfolds between two ace pilots, each willing to take the match to it’s ultimate conclusion. Unknown to the pilots is a fate neither has considered.

The German is a war story seen through the eyes of RAF officer A C Barton (Kebbell) who will take his fight to the very end. The singleminded desire for revenge drives Barton, but when it comes face to face, can he pull the trigger?



Shot on 35mm (anamorphic), and posted at 2K, the opening of the film is an aerial battle between a British Spitfire and a German Me 109, all of which I completed here at Image Now Films over a six month period. This is a combination of Live action/stills and fully CGI shots.

I have made up a website for the film, which has a trailer and effects breakdowns and a small behind the scenes clip. I have also written a little about the process involved.

Pretty much like the my last short film, A Lonely Sky, the film was made on a relatively small budget (70K euro). It was funded by the Irish Film Board, under a short film scheme they run.

While that sounds a lot, when broken down under the regulations for filming, it all disappears very quickly. The Effects budget was a big fat zero, so a lot of long hours again.

Unfortunately I can't put the film on the web yet, because of film festivals. It was selected for Palm Springs, and LA Shorts as well as the San Paulo film festival.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

Nick
