I'm unsure what year these two posters came out and who they're by.
Guns used
"The three most common sniper rifles employed by the Soviet Union were the Mosin–Nagant, the Tokarev SVT-40, and later in 1963, the SVD, the first purpose built designated marksmen's rifle. The sniper version of the Mosin–Nagant rifle was used before, during, and after World War II."

Landscape.
The woman snipers were scatter to different places but I want to focus on using the landscape of Sevastopol, Stalingrad or the trenches use by the border of Russia.

Quotes from the sniper woman.
Roza Shanina:
1. "I've killed a man."
2. "What iv'e actually done? No more than I have to, as a Soviet person, having stood to defend the Motherland."
3.Throughout my life at the front, there has not been an instant when I have not longed to be in battle. I want to be where the fighting is fiercest. I want to be there with the soldiers."
4. The essence of my happiness is fighting for the happiness of other.it's strange, why is it in grammar the word 'happiness' can only be singular? That is counter to it's meaning, after all...if it's necessary to die for the common happiness, then I'm braced to."
Lyudmila Parlichhenko
1. Gentelmen, I am 25 years old and I have killed 309 fascist occupants by now. Don't you think, gentleman, that you have been hiding behind my back for too long."
2. " Now aim looked upon a little as a curiosity, a subject for newspaper headlines, for anecdotes. In the soviet union I am looked upon as a citizen, as a fighter, a solider for my county.
3. " we mowed down Hitlerites like rape grain."
4. "Every Greman who remains alive will killl woman, children and old folks. Dead Germans are harmless. If I kill a German I am saving lives."
5. The only feeling I have , is the great satisfaction a hunter feels who has killed a beast of prey."

Storyline

Testing animation.
I made a rough of how I wanted my animation to play out, although when making the real one a few things changed along the way after discussing it with one of my tutors and finding the way to make quick for myself.
|
|
More research.

|
Making of animation.
|
The colours of this section were planned to have a red background with white blood. But I made the decision to change it to a black background, black and white officer and red blood.
|
|
|
|
This section was taken out because it didn't flow correctly with the rest of the animation and I was also struggling to get the angle of the face right.
