In the autumn of the 41st Bashny.Net

Alexei Pivovarov Another blogger called to see how making a movie about the events of the autumn of forty-one years in Moscow.

New personal project NTV Alexei tells about the difficult time when the enemy was on the approaches to the capital, where leading teams advancing Germans were already on the outskirts of the city and the fate of Moscow could be solved in a few days. As in the story of Rzhev 41st film shoot artistic and documentary - a reconstruction of the events in the scenery and the streets of Moscow. Found witnesses occurs collected their evidence and these stories are recreated some scenes - with actors, extras and this "cine" shooting process. I came to the set twice already - first in Tushino, where one of the characters involved in putting out incendiary bombs, and two day later watched remove the story of panic on October 16 - the shooting came near Lenin Square.

In Tushino agreed with the residents of a house and built here set. Filmed several episodes, including scene with a patrol that monitors compliance with blackout. Such patrols had the right to shoot at the windows, behind which could be seen the light. One of the patrol managed to find such a group Pivovarov, he told me that after such attacks, and there were killed - at that time was not up to the ceremonies.



At the beginning of the video is just an episode - the patrol fired on the window, behind which saw the light. One shot because my grandmother - it turned out that this is one of the tenants dressed as a woman to escape conscription.



At this point, the crew lost firecrackers - one of the locals apparently cleaned her memory. They went out, took a chair - the back began to write the scene number and the seat slam.

The camera on the crane - all "grown-up".



At school filmed a few scenes with extras.



One eyewitness of the events of October 41 th, which talked to Alex, told how then walked down the street and around the steaming garbage can see a pile of books with the works of Marx and some promotional literature. Nearby stood busts of Stalin and Lenin. She is surprised - people are already preparing for what will soon be the city of the Germans and thrown "compromising". This episode was filmed on that day, among others.



The situation was desperate city - in the middle of October, a Moscow publishing houses have printed copies of leaflets with the words "Comrades, under the onslaught of German troops we have left Moscow." One of the women who participated in the preparation of the script, recalled how her mother rehearsed with her German words.

Stand-written directly in the center of events, including leaving the east of Muscovites with trunks and suitcases. Read the two cameras - one main on steadicam and another operator, dressed in an old coat, walks with the camera, shaking her in a bag - takes effect from the "inside."

The last in the evening on the school shooting another scene, reproduced on the eyewitnesses. One of them said as the day the "great exodus" saw a fire truck, which rolled out of the gate, plastered over with people and hung with bales with junk. Have fun strumming a bell, "pozharka" rolled along Tverskaya.

For the filming of this scene from "Mosfilm" brought an old fire engine with shooting silencer and gloomy, to match what is happening, a carrier. "Pozharki" drove into the yard for a long time trying on how it go. On it, as you can see, again, the operator sits with the "hidden" camera.



In mid-October, 41st in Moscow, already covered with snow. True, true, but not cellulose like the day before yesterday.



While rehearsing, and then for a long time suddenly poured over in a car petrol, it was dark. Crowd went to and fro under the assistant director shouts; "Pozharka", shooting in all directions, again and again rolls out of the gate. And so - take after take.

Well, it seems that the three sheets to the director a cold, to warm tea, finally satisfied with the result. Hard work - to make a film. I sometime after the scene with fire engine went home, while the crew of the evening were two locations for filming in different parts of the city.
