The Making of Wait for Me | World Of Warships

[@travistaylor3186]

Honestly, the few minutes of "Wait For Me" was better than the entire Pearl Harbor movie...

[@t1e6x12]

Travis Taylor of Prestwood That movie was historically inaccurate, inaccurate in general, and pretty bad.

[@00ta]

I totally agree.

[@razgriss5882]

But "wait for me" still can't beat Tora Tora Tora. That movie was a marvel of practical effect that no CG could beat

[@Testerossa]

Let's just hope that entire crew was paid well.

[@h3lld1v3rfilms6]

Yeah, a perfect movie doesn't have a loopy side plot or a love story. Cough, Michael Bay, Cough.

[@bryanekers3472]

The U.S. flags having 48 stars was a nice bit of attention to detail, I thought. Overall, a stunningly impressive short film.

[@zhuohangliu3239]

Also the Purple Heart medal in front of the American sailor's chest when he returned home, which is awarded to those killed or wounded in action

[@santiagomachado7378]

The Japanese pilot's acting was on point. It reminds me of the very many WWII movies about Midway I saw

[@santiagomachado7378]

Brendan Paine IRL, kamikaze pilots were not expected to simply throw away their lives on an impossible target, and if no suitable ship was available, they could return. However, after a third or fourth return they would be shot for cowardice

[@kxd2591]

I have read of one Japanese pilot at Pearl Harbor, who, after being shot through the spine, crashed his plane into one of the hangers.

[@k.hashimoto8606]

Impossible. Kamikaze myth seems to be exaggerating.

Khang KT WG sure knows how to make an Amazing videos like this. and Hollywood sometimes doesn't make a good WWII movie. although there are those few in Hollywood that can actually do a real and honest to the closest that they could get to the actual events that they're recreating.

[@presistancelydeccer7338]

Epic CGI for a game company and that short movie contain enormous feels

[@kaymurakami3320]

[@throngcleaver]

I've watched "Wait For Me" dozens upon dozens of times, and each and every time, I am riveted to the screen, with the same emotions and awe at the realism and pure beauty of the scenes. It could not have been done better, and is my favorite short film of all time. (I'm 60, btw) Congratulations and best wishes to the team!

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

Amazing, great job. The short film contained lots of emotion and looks very nice, but built in only 12 days, filmed in 5, and a couple more days of CG? That is some amazing work. being just a gaming company at that? You guys are doing great!

[@samaxe6495]

For such a short film, it packed more emotion, and humanity than any full length feature I’ve ever seen. If this crew made a full length movie, I’d learn Russian to watch it.

[@gryphonosiris2577]

The set design was rather impressive, I was convinced that they shot on site in Japan and the US. Either way, the film hit you right into the feels.

[@zam023]

Yep, I actually thought those were real houses. Never thought they would build a set for it as it is just for a very short film.

[@nottoday3817]

and people say Russians cannot make movies

[@peterson7082]

Omega Alpha They most certainly can, but the best ones only come from internet based film producers or with small film companies.

Bravo!!!!! Bravo!!!! Bravo!!!!!!! Absolutely AWESOME......extremely awesome production. In 4 minutes you draw the audience in, capture their imagination, pump their adrenaline and tickle their emotions. Job well done.

[@izumishion6267]

Hope Hollywood is watching this and taking notes. For a gaming company to do better than a movie studio is just a burn.

[@born2bbald12]

The real point of all this is bringing ourselves to remember those that served in conflicts. The real point here is "being" there with these heroes and their loved ones. What the "Wait for Me" team has done is to tell us several stories, to bring us, even if just for a moment, into that time and that world. This team has done a masterful job of doing just that. An excellent storyteller will invoke emotion within your heart and your soul. "Wait for Me" reminded me of these people that were thrust into a terrible war, what they had to do, what they endured - they served their countries at a terrible expense. For a moment I was there, for a moment I cried and then I was happy. I thank the "Wait for Me" crew for sharing something sacred. I thank the men and women that were involved. We honor them when we remember them. Thank you so much.

[@mflinch6061]

I'm in awe!! This has been out for a while now but i only recently saw it. My attention was captured so much within the first few seconds that, for the first time.... probably ever....i didn't click SKIP on a KZbin ad. As an American I appreciate and applaud the skills employed to not only capture the terror of war, but you've also honored the soldiers and family of same. The poetic recital by the Japanese pilot was a nice touch as well. We can only wonder how it came to be that this pilot returned to his wife and son after crashing his plane just yards from a sinking enemy vessel which he had just attacked. His healed scars suggested quite some time had passed. I'd like to think it was this same enemy that compassionately rescued him, nursed him back to health and returned him to his loved ones. I'd love to see something similar from the perspective of the Russians and Germans outside of Stalingrad, each performing their duty as soldiers while retaining the best qualities of humanity. Great job to all! P.S. Dasha Perova... wait for me! 😍

[@FlyingEndeavor]

That is true.. unfortunately.

[@Crimson_Skyline]

WT fanboys are just like COD fanboys

[@FlyingEndeavor]

Skyline 300 I kinda regard them as much worse than that, much worse than anything else to be exact. At least the COD community has the excuse that a good majority of them consist of kids who just want to run and gun, not grown men who claim to be historians in their own right unlike what we have with WT.

[@General_Dave_1]

I wonder how it would be different if you filmed it on a ship like the USS Kidd, one of the few World War II DD's we have left.

[@Rexery66]

You guys haven't seen it in Russian, the poem citing was even more touching than English. It is K. Simonov's poem "Wait for me".

[@avaloch9345]

The Japanese pilot is the same actor who portrayed the Japanese Emperor in "The Last Samurai" Also records were never sent home, just personal belongings after the War Department letter. I remember seeing some of those letters when I very young and would visit my boyhood friends homes. Very moving, may they all rest in Peace...

Its not the same actor.

WoWs, we have contacts - feel free to get in touch any time. Very much enjoyed both the video and this BTS look! You really made a serious effort - that was a lot of set building, wardrobe, casting and shooting for very little time, and that is all before the wizards worked their magic with the CGI and other aspects of post! Big thumbs up and thanks for making sure there were BTS elements to share!

[@ExecutionInProgress]

That little movie you made was a great piece of art

[@josepablolunasanchez1283]

I love historically accurate material. It may sound unimportant, but that is important. When people watch this in 10 or 20 years, such accuracy will be noticeable by any intellectually demanding audience. So my message to the history researchers is "your work will not go unnoticed". I would love you to make a WWII movie about war in the Pacific. I know you will make an impartial movie. And if you have talented writers who are good to make people feel emotions, I am sure your movie will be a hit. Make a movie where politics is taken aside, and you show the average Joe and what they experienced.
