moon nazi's arent too good to relax at themed resteraunts and bars.

I can't wait to read about wool underwears!
Still,
I can imagine the country Nazi now:
'Even Lederhosen has it's place as long your
killing the right people!'
As a point of fact, many Festivals and Holidays
were principally celebrated in the 'Conferated States' during the
Middle Ages. There the population ate cake and rehearsed
'killing the king, prince, dummy, whatever,' while many in more autocratic nations followed a more solemn religious calendar.

On the other hand the nazi jugend wore uniforms that remind those, look at:

Even though more bavarian than nazi, dirndls are simple fun, and I can clearly visualize the image of a group of blond girls serving Mondbräu to the guest of the local beer hall. Do that!

Yes, Lederhosen would be fun - but only if not pushed too much into the foreground. Nazis don't run around in Lederhosen and Dirndl. Much more likely they will wear brown cord-shirts, suspenders and dark wear in general.

But of course a true German-Bavarian evening as an event of reminding the "glorious" roots of German culture would be extremely funny. Just imagine: All the higher-ups of the moon base gather in suits to watch a true Schuhplattler in Lederhosen and Dirndl :D

You know, Bavaria is really a topic for itself - is it Germany at all...? Difficult question ;D

Although the origin of nazi movement (and hitler himself of course) was from southern germany and austria, the tradition of Lederhosen goes much further back and recalls monarchy rather than the nazi-regime.
National Socialists, as implied by the name, would court the working class and disempower aristocratic ranks (except useful collaborators).
It's not at all a german but a bavarian/austrian tradition.
The nazis preferred germanic stuff like runes (SS) etc.
Of course it would be a funny picture: nazis, on the moon, in lederhosen :)

former nazi's turned doctors could abduct infants and blame being stillborn, accounting for germany's low birth rate, the infants shipped by the truckload to a private boat which meets a nurse stocked submarine that transports them to an underwater antarctic base, picked up from there and flown to the moon, or a "hostel" like eastern european abduction scenario with the same stops.

Women although can produce children, a lot of pregnancies have trouble.

Without surgery women cannot continue to produce offspring. The muscles get buggered up.

Anyway this is film, and anything goes.

I'm wondering if a darker form of testube breeding could be used.

The flower of German womanhood wouldn't be used up giving birth. That's what abductees are for.

Even brain dead a woman's body can support child growth.

[I am an evil, evil man]

I agree, notice how all alien abductions seem to involve rape?

Perhaps when they are "probed" or "raped" they are actually having their eggs or semen removed, which are then utilized and implanted in a regular German woman on the moon as testube babys. Thus they're current stock of women can continue to provide children, but with out the limited gene pool which would cause birth defects.

Also, don't forget the possible kidnapping of children, this historically did happen in WWII. So it's possible the space nazis may send ships down to pick up random children, most likely who were rounded/kidnapped by a team already on Earth.

This was covered in another thread. If you have a large enough group to start with, mix well with an aggressive version of the Nazi Lebensborn project, natural methods would give you a big enough population by 2017 for a large army.

However, the possibility of artificial humans and artificial means of procreation shouldn't be discounted. Mad scientists seemed to multiply in the Third Reich. Why not the Fourth?

Well, they could do test tube babies, and homonculus methods of artificial growth.

It would explain all those alien abductions.

Nice!

These are the lyrics in English (they are sung in Spanish). I can record them in English if necessary.

Antarctica, discs in the sky.
Schauberger engine, antigravitational.
Underground base,
New Schwabenland.

(They've created an electro-magnetic flying machine)

The Earth is hollow.
It's the Trans-Polar tunnel.
Operation Highjump,
they will never reach.

(US government has taken and developed that technology in total secrecy)

I don`t believe that Avatar is so succesful because of the 3D Technologie! Avatar is a movie that find the spirit of time. Not because of the destroying of that planet. Not because of the "Pocahontas" love story!!! Just because of the idea - that a man can be in a Avatar and become a complete other person as before - forever!!!

We all have Avatar`s in the internet - and there is this dream to be the person in the internet! No movie find this nerve better than Avatar.

So we are the "Avatar - Generation"

3D is just a Gimmick!

Avatar is the 3d film at the moment. The 3d in tron was pretty pointless as you could tell it was 3d in about 3 scenes. And the screen was so damn dim!

Forget 3d on place more money on the movie itself.

Tron Legasy went rather high on that good 3D scale. It's hard to compare to avatar, because the worlds are like night(tron) and day(avatar).

My personal opinion is that unless a film had designed from the start to be filmed in or converted to 3-D, the results will not be worth the time or expense. I believe that 3-D, done as a gimmick or as an afterthought, doesn't work. That said, if the money had been there, "Iron Sky" seems a natural for the 3-D treatment.

And yes, I agree with C. Anderson. "Avatar" is the yardstick against which any 3-D movie must be measured.

Basically for complete 3D effects you have to render every frame twice (one for left eye, one for right eye), meaning the rendering time will increase by twice.

For "2D" effects like greenscreen and so, you have to add perpesctive and you cannot use plate effects, like prefilmed fire or smoke. It has to be 3D too.

Then live acton shots need to be converted too.

That cost all a lot of money, which Energia can certain use in a better way.

Even if I like 3D stuff, I hate those conversions.

I think they said (and I'm not 100% sure) the CGI would take a lot longer to render in 3D than 2D?

As for converted 3D, as the name implies, that doesn't require the film to be shot in 3D at all.

@Lukas : The link shows only full HD capability for the software. They use 2k and 4k in cinemas. Is it up for that?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution#Digital_projection

Atleast in that one "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373051/" the converted 3d sucked. Maybe they have invented something in 3 years, don't know.

So converted 3D doesn't need 3D cameras, or two different cameras, I think.

"Piranha 3D" or whatever the new movie is called, is converted 3D and should have AWESOME 3D effects.

I don't think it will cost them that much if they use this product for converting movies and films, and, videos, into 3D Blu-Ray: http://3dvision-blog.com/3dbdnet-software-for-converting-blu-ray-3d-ssif-video-files/

I don't actually know if this software is for polarized 3D but I guess so, I want it myself :D

I think Energia talked about this in a recent post somewhere, they said it would cost too much to do the effects in 3D.

Unless you shoot it in 3D, please do not do a 3D version. Adding 3D later just does nothing for the film IMHO. 3D is a gimmick/craze right now, but please don't jump on the bandwagon.

As long as there is a "normal" version as well (I cannot see 3D!), it sounds like it would be awesome.

Just, I kinda doubt the budget will allow that... I mean, as far as I know shooting a 3D movie is much more expensive than a regular one?

3D Iron Sky Nazi Goggles, sounds amazing!

Also, in 3D I dont think it would get compared to Avatar, 3D is the new craze, and everyone is on the same boat to get that latest effect in their films.

For me Avatar was pointless in 3D, it lacked enough 'Wow!' moments, I do believe Iron Sky could make better use technology if available.

Plus you have to shoot everything with 3D cameras.

except you cannot compare Iron Sky to 'Dances with Smurfs'...

Plusses and minuses here :-

Plus :-
* Get to wear 3d Iron Sky Nazi Goggles in the cinema.

Minus :-
* An insane headache and sore eyes.
* If it's 3D, it will be compared to Avatar.

A far better idea in my mind would be a cyber Hitler. Think Max Headroom on every computer monitor on the Lunar Base.

If the Lunar Nazis are advanced enough, why not have AI computers? And why not give them personalities in the form of Hitler, Himmler, etc?

You could play it for laughs, for satire...there's a dozen different approaches.

Or Cyborg Stalin.

Or both?

Maybe Russians that we think are dead, are just in a severe Vodka and Snow Coma?

So true;
I'd love to see some original works from this. I'll even give it a 'shot' myself =)
