Please Help Identify This Amazon Warrior Movie (click title to view clip)

I found a very short clip on You Tube depicting a woman warrior being shot by an arrow during a battle. However, the movie wasn't identified by the uploader, YanaAmazon. I emailed this person who informed me that he/she didn't know the movie's title.

This video clip is monotone and appears to be an early Amazon movie made in the 1940's or 1950's. I thought that I'd seen and collected every woman-warrior ever made, but this one eludes me. If anybody knows the title of this movie, please comment here. If anybody has additional video clips of this movie, please upload them to You Tube. I can then add a few to my video-clip library so others can easily find them.

Please click on this post's title to view the video clip. Thanks. :)

If "Page Temporarily Unavailable" For A Story Appears

The blog's photo- and short-stories hits are, in some months, exceeding my allowable page loads for these files. If that happens, my FTP's webmaster will post "Page Temporarily Unavailable" when you click on one. The stories will become available on the first day of the following month should this event occur. No other part of the blog is affected!

My analysis of my visitor statistics revealed to me that the stories are becoming more popular; therefore, my One GB allowance on my FTP server that stores these files is exceeded in some months. I apologize for any inconvenience, but please remember, the stories will come back the first day of the next month should this lack of access happen to you.

"Hundra" Barbarian Invasion vidclip

Thanks to a friend, I was able to locate the rare vidclip from the movie, "Hundra", where the barbarian horde invades the Amazon village. The men slaughter the women, but not without the ladies putting up a stout fight. Please go to "Video Library" (see Table Of Contents in blog), and click on "Hundra" Barbarian Invasion link.
The library already has the other two great battlescenes from "Hundra" so do check them out.

"Battle Of The Amazons" clip

I just added a fight scene from the "Battle Of The Amazons" movie. Made in 1974, it wasn't the greatest of Amazon warrior movies, and the audio is terrible, but the movie is rare in full-length and very expensive. Clips are tough to find, but I finally located a thrilling fight scene on You Tube. Please go to my "Video Library" and click on "Battle Of The Amazons" clip. Also, you'll find a few more videos that I added recently.

About David Saccheri, "Amazons Vs. Greeks" painting

Here's some information about famed artist, David Saccheri, who drew the "Amazon Vs. Greeks" painting displayed on my blog. You may click this post's title to view the hi-res version if you haven't already seen it.

Email reply from WOA.tv: Hi Wolfy- We appreciate the feedback on the painting! A lot of work went into it. It was an original painting that woa.tv produced collaboratively together with its sister companies Rearden Studios and Ice Blink Studios, and we contracted with David Saccheri as the master painter of the final work. The production involved: 1. researching accurate period clothing, weapons, armor and architecture 2. hiring professional fight directors and actors/actresses to pose in realistic combat positions 3. renting costumes and weapons from Hollywood studios 4. photographing the actors/actresses in costume with weapons for foreground battles 5. creating 3D renderings of many of the background battles 6. then, having David select and composite the elements for reference and then hand-paint the scene artistically and dramatically 7. And, after that, there were several iterations between David and the production team and combat/historical experts until the scene was not only exciting and beautiful, but quite historically accurate and realistic, particularly taking into consideration what the fight directors (one of whom was a woman) felt would be the way that women would fight in that era. You may note details like the woman on the left driving her knee into the thigh of an opponent near an arrow wound. Given her smaller frame, there is the sort of opportunity a woman would exploit in close combat. In each case, we were unable to find an image that we felt accurately represented the historical characters, so we produced our own. We hope to produce more in the future. David does do commissioned artwork, but mostly portraiture. This was a unusual project for him, closer to the work that he has done for motion pictures [Star Trek I]while working for Ice Blink than his usual work, and as described above, it was a very complex production involving a large team. David’s website is: http://www.goldenhourart.com/. Best, Lisajo Cohen Executive Assistant Women of Action Media

Email from David Saccheri: I received a reply today from him. I changed this pic on my blog so that when you click on it, you will get the hi-res version. He informed me that he has no interest in uploading art to any free gallery or blog. (sigh). He does have a business relationship with WOA.tv, who did pay him for his work, but he earns a fine living as a cinema artist and does sell art from his Net gallery. In fact, other than WOA.tv and his Golden Hour Art gallery at http://goldenhourart.com he has no Net presence at all. He does promptly respond to email, so if any of you of you artist chaps want to ask him to donate art somewhere, please give it a go. And, if you are a collector, please give him a big thanks for allowing us to view his art. As for downloading his art, both WOA.tv and Mr. Saccheri have no problem with us downloading art from either WOA.tv or his own site. As always, the art must be for our own use, not sold, nor may we place hi-res art directly on our sites (we are being allowed to link to woa.tv for hi-res versions if we want).
