#Endview plantation reenactment 2016 movie#
How hot is it in the wool clothing at midday? How do your feet feel after a day of marching? What does a Civil War mortar sound like when it fires?īeing on the actual field gives me a chance to research outside the box that a movie or TV show presents.
Stuart hold his sword as he charges? And being in the mix of reenactors gives my other senses a chance to record details for me to use later. And I can also zoom down to sketch details that will add depth my own visual storytelling - how does the pot over the campfire look? How does J.E.B. I portray a battlefield cartoonist, so I’m not marching in the lines of blue and gray but standing back on a hill, furiously sketching what it looks like for 400 men to storm a fence held by 250 other men. In our four years of reenacting, I’ve never seen more cavalry or more artillery on the field, sweeping to and fro during the afternoon battles for the spectators. The spread of hundreds of canvas tents under the pink morning sky was inspiring. I’M AWAKE! I’M AWAKE!! My 15-year-old son and I were camping just north of the Antietam National Battlefield with 4,000 other reenactors for the 150th anniversary of the Civil War battle. Battle of Antietam Written on Monday, September 24th, 2012 Ī week ago I woke up in a Maryland field to the sound of a rooster crowing.Īfter that came the bugles that I normally hear for reveille.
