Post-Apocalyptic short

[@dryflyshaman]

Dad taught us boys over 50 years ago to never cook and eat where you bed down. Move at least 200 yards after eating. It is astonishing how far you can smell cooked food and/or a fire once you've been in the woods a few days.

[@skylongskylong1982]

Very good point. Many Western Armies have what is known as Cold Routine, when enemy in local area. This includes no lights ( even with a red filter) no noise ( talk in whispers), and all food eat cold, no cooking. Even with modern flasks that kept food/ liquid for 24 hours you still smell certain contents 25 meters away when opened.

[@Roolooth]

Excellent production! The tension builds with the subdued light and the sound track really gives it a great atmosphere.

[@GillianSmith]

Thank you. I really appreciate your kind comment. Best wishes to you 🤙

Fuking AMAZING! So welll done... You put so many others to shame... I know how hard it is to do these so all in all I give you a big fat A !

@@GillianSmith Your CAMCON was so unconventional and it worked brilliantly ... My only request is replace the Zombie's with Spetsnaz.. ;-) please do a part two.. take your time. Im waiting..

[@glen7228]

Well made film but honestly this was more like a survivalist's guide on living in the woods than a post apocalyptic zombie film. But, like I said a well made film.

[@billyandrew]

I agree.

[@snorkherder]

Excellent cinematography there Gillian, kind of gave me a survivors vibe (from the old 70's series), I liked the snares and alarm rigs. Great content, and really well done :)

[@GillianSmith]

Many thanks Snorkherder! Very kind words ☺️ best wishes to you 🤙

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Such high standard of work Gillian really enjoyed the edits , could almost see Ivarr working alongside you, now that would be something. Such a treat to see you do the business again. All thre very best to you. Harry

[@GillianSmith]

Very kind Harry, thank you! A different style of video which was great fun to make and edit; so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers and best wishes to you too 🤙

Wow this is cool. Amazing editing and so different. Love the storyline. Cheers Marta

[@GillianSmith]

Hi Marta! Thank you very much; yes it is a bit different from my usual videos; thought I might try making a short horror film; it was good fun making this. Guess what.....I’m back at Cae Adda as I write this, just getting my rucksack ready to climb a mountain, maybe some filming too :))))). Very best wishes to you, stay safe 😊🤙

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

Hello Gillian. Canny spooky music at the beginning 😬. Your camouflage and camp was spot on. That must have took same time to put together. Really enjoyed watching. It was exiting. Atb Steve 👍

[@GillianSmith]

Thank you Steve; you are correct did take some time to put together but I did enjoy making something a bit different. Best wishes to you and take care, Gill ☺️

[@tramontane3239]

This is outstanding...on par with Coppola, in particular transitions between scenes both audio and visual.

[@GillianSmith]

Wow, thank you Tramontane; those really are kind words✨🌟✨

Hello mi friend. Nice one on the camouflage, spot on for that woodland 👍😎. Just one thing when your in a wood an your walking, an wildlife start makeing nose. Hit the floor. Wait an look an listening for things around you. If someone is falling behind you, you can't see them. But the wildlife can. But bloody great video. Keep it up mate your doing great. 👍😁 Andy

[@johndevitt2164]

great video, btw, the other video with the badger, do you get many, here in Ireland you don't see as many in terms of road kill as is with hedge hogs also which is indicative of dwindling numbers

[@GillianSmith]

Hi, many thanks John; yes there are quite a few badgers around here in southern England, they are quite elusive so we both got a surprise! The hedge hogs do seem to be disappearing it’s quite rare to see them now sadly. Best wishes and stay safe, Gill 🤙

[@billyandrew]

It killed nine and a half minutes. Never known anyone sending out chinooks on S&R or S&D missions, but each to their own. Professionally shot, but the plot took too long to expedite and could have done with more reaearch. Not bad, though.

[@WyeExplorer]

You looked like my dad and Lofty in the Jungle there Gillian. I hope you scoped out your target in enough detail. My question is. How did you get there without being seen? Good exercise. Mark

[@GillianSmith]

@@GillianSmith Thanks.

[@DianeHasHopeInChrist]

In a forest, overcast skies, no sun to reflect onto a mirror? A true survivalist uses SMOKE if he/she wants to get the attention of a chopper or plane. Sheesh. A lot of irrelevant footage that was way too long, and still did not make a point. The "hook" is what captures an audience's attention, as the storyline gets them hooked, then it is easy to keep them hooked to the ending.

[@apollo9356]

[@GillianSmith]

Thank you 🤍

[@superyooper3093]

It should be titled: “A guy walking around.” Cuz that’s 99% of the stupid movie. Just one guy walking around alone. WTF?!??

[@skylongskylong1982]

Cannot wait to see your video. Remind me again when you putting it on line ?

[@billyandrew]

I tend to agree. Less walking, resulting in a shorter film could have made it more impactful.

[@billyandrew]

*Sky long Skylong* Deal with the validity of the comment, rather than resorting to strawman argument, please.

[@skylongskylong1982]

Ever thought of becoming a CFAV. Teach you to use a real rifle, not an air soft, and professional military training. Usually a location with 5 miles where you live, and they will pay you !

Thank you. Yes Cadet forces sounds interesting, sharing skills with others; not a bad idea 🤙
