So far, my team and I have been pushing forward in this documentary and I estimate that the film will be finished by the end of the month, but the filming has not been as easy as i thought. Their are some cases where we are filming and a line gets messed up so many times i want to pull my own teeth out, but then i think of all the other films that have been released and that they had these problems too. So we make a mistake, so what, we delete the bad take, we review the line and try again. the documentary has also inspired me to do other filming projects and i have even started making future plans for new films.

We have completed segment 4 of filming for this film, we have also been looking at other documentaries and projects to see what we could ad to this film. One film i showed my film crew to get an understanding of what the war was like was Talvisota. It is a great movie and shows the true face of a Finnish soldier in this time period.

Through out the week, i have discovered so many stories of both history and just true legend. I found battles that hung Finland in the balance, and a story about a Soviet General, and his rise and fall during the winter war. I also saw the true face of the Finnish and Soviet soldier during the war. There were no villians or heros, just young men who were just following orders and doing what was right. Not all the men who made these dicisions made it back alive, but their words and stories would live on in history.

Are filming for the forgotten war is going good, we have almost made it through part one and will be moving to part two of the film. I never knew how many mistakes and howmany takes it would take to do a small, sometimes 10 second section. However, these mistakes are easily fixed and in the end, they give us a perfect section. If we do this for all the other sections, we will have a film that we never saw in our lives.

after the creation of the intro to the forgotten war, we have ran into problems with transferring voice recordings to the program. despite this, im shure the problem will be lifted soon. we have also begun filming the second section of the documentary. rest ashure, the film will be reliesed on time and you will not be disapointed.

we have begun filming the video and are close to finnishing the first part of the video. we also have found other groupsw who are bringing light on the winter war. i have found art work, different animations, and other documentaries like the one i've been working on.

our interviews didn't go as planned, are teachers being interviewed had no idea what we were talking about and we probably teached them more then they teached us. the interviews are know being decided if they will be left out of the film, or look for more teachers to interview. the writing of the script of this film was also challenging, i had to grab nummerous amounts of legends, stories, and documents, and put them into an informal speech like way. i also had to put these stories in order and find parts i had never heard of.

by now, we have completed the documentaries script and will be starting interviews on the teachers for the show soon.

So far, me and my team have started on our script. we have had some delays on it, but will have it ready soon. we have also researched more stories on the war and the people who were behind the war.

setting the scene

This blog is to show the progress of my new documentary of the Russo-Finnish winter war of 1939-1940. The documentary is to have people remember the men and women who fought and died in this war. It was a war which created legends, new hopes, and outcomes of important world events, and then immediately ignored by countries across the world.
