Many of these Omeleto short films are of a supremely higher grade in cinematography and acting than a whole host of what Hollywood etc manage to put out with their million dollar budgets...



The suspense and just how simple both plots are is just staggeringly good.

It's also worth checking out the "Dust" channel if you like sci-fi. Without hundreds of millions in budgets, these small creators have to actually be inventive, clever, and entertaining. It's also good that the film can be as long as it needs to be to tell the story, not the time necessary to fit into a TV or cinema slot.

DUST is also on my sub list, watch a lot of their shorts but rate Omeleto's production quality higher for more shorts than DUST :cool: Both are excellent though and you quickly find yourself spending an hour+ watching short films :o

Another excellent video on an interesting but little known part of WW2 from Mark Felton. The plan to hit New York with V1 missiles fired from submarines and the action taken to counter it. Although the title is a bit wrong - V1 was powered by a jet. V2 was the rocket powered one.


It also shows (again) how important the German lack of oil in WW2 was. The defence required a fleet. Had it been V2 missiles (far harder to launch from sea, maybe impossible), defence would have been far harder and of course the development wouldn't have stopped at V2 if Germany hadn't been defeated when it was. If Germany had enough oil to sustain itself and its war effort, the war would have taken longer and the development of missiles would have gone much further.

Well the war in Europe might have dragged on a bit but only till the pint where nukes came in - could have just meant that Germany got nuked as well as Japan and perhaps the Allies taking Berlin and pushing East rather than the Russians coming West.
