Cardboard Warfare 2.5

Three pilots celebrate Fred Christensen's birthday on the long flight home. HQ interrupts their celebration with a urgent order. The pilots are forced to go on their last mission together after learning they aren't going to make it back home.

[bradchai]

what a fantastic piece of work... not a lot of people can pull off a dog fight, you sir, did a great job!!!!

[backflag]

Love the story line, its like 4 brothers all together, going home and all of the sudden have to destroy 6 bombers with a light fighter escort, 3 of the brothers die, and one of them makes it home.

[jiveaces]

That was pretty epic! The direction and flight sequences were amazing!

[aserta]

I don't know if it's awesome that you guys got this done so well or if it's fucking sad that in today's technology etc etc Hollywood can't squeeze not even a 3rd of this out of it's rotten rear end. Great video.

[kgerfilms]

Hmmm, not sure if you meant for this to happen, but I surprisingly felt for all your characters :c Good job Clint!

[sergeantbigmac]

Am I the only one who noticed they were magically communicating with each other without any communications equipment whatsoever?!? lol!

[Sol_Protege]

Clinton makes the best facial expressions

[AyrfloGaming]

Bro, those sweet exterior shots when homies fuel line was shot out were gold

[CodyStriker]

Not going to lie: I almost cried when I saw him so happy with the cupcake

[RedKamikaze]

You never disappoint. Great job with all the cardboard; and the cinematography?...I honestly felt like I was watching a clip from a full length film.

[thecollector]

I felt more emotion in that short video than I did in all of the movie Pearl Harbor

[farrencarr]

Love this video!! Who the hell would give it a dislike? Sad to hear Clint left corridor 🥲

[HappyGoCrazee]

Blows the hell out of Red Tails, Clint. Great work!

[chaosXPRT]

this is so awesome I'm not going to point out the mistakes

[ramzao]

This was freaking awesome but OH THE FEELS D:

[bobbyomari]

This is the best video I've ever seen in my entire life.

[newtondamutant]

I honestly felt like clapping at the end. That was extremely well played out

[robertopreciosa]

The cinematography on this is on another level🔥

[JudsonRadio]

So good! Honestly probably my favorite in the series. The fantastic action sequences aside, I was impressed with the character writing. I don't think I've seen something this short where I actually cared about the characters before. Not to mention the VFX and cardboard plane design. Great work all around!

[Bobbyeverything]

I remember watching this, it was really a great video and still is. One question why did the uploads stop?
