1945A WORLD WAR II SCI-FI MOVIE





It's 1945, and the Allies are on the verge of winning World War II, when suddenly the Nazis unleash an arsenal of super weapons straight out of science-fiction, turning the tides in their favour

This presentation was done on a very small budget, with all the tanks and vehicles - Willys Jeep, Stuart  and Sherman tanks, Nazi 'Spider' tank - featuring as 1:6 scale models, rather than the CGI that's  typically used for almost all sci-fi movies today.

Producer's website with more info on how he works with forced-perspective and models here.
