Special Naval Landing Forces

Some troops of the Special Naval Landing Forces (SNLF).Are walking in an abandoned street in Shanghai during the battle of Shanghai, a battle set in the Second Sino-Japanese War. The SNLF were a special unit of marines of the Imperial Japanese Navy and they were part of the IJN landing forces. They saw action in the pacific theatre and the Second Sino-Japanese War. One of their most notable actions were during the Battle of Shanghai.

 

This shot was part of a concept that unfortunately never saw the light of day, early drafts were made for a scene where the SNLF would play a role in a scene set during the battle of Shanghai, but that scene was cut because of time constraints and the inaccuracy of the uniforms. In the early drafts I used white instead of Blue, this picture is a reversion of a scene that didn’t make the final cut. The SNLF were deleted entirely from that brickfilm. One of the scenes were the SNLF would have played a larger role was a scene where they were landing near the harbor of Shanghai.

 

Overall this shot turned out pretty well. I still wished that I could have put some more scenes in that brickfilm, but unfortunately I was working on a time constraint.

 

The Naval Landing Force soldier made a small appearance in my upcoming brickfilm
