Bloody good idea, well done Harold.

What's the chances of doing one with a slower speed? Just that for the complete beginners, and I'm no practitioner of German rifle drill, trying to watch the placement of hands can make you sea-sick (it's alright for you Kriegsmarine types). Maybe even in a power point slide presentation with comments and a voice-over designed specifically as a training aid?

Excellent idea Harold, useful but also quite amusing to watch looped around and around.

A small tip. Lock the camera off on a tripod when you shoot so that the only thing that moves is the man himself - i.e the bricks stay in place(!). I'm guessing it was handheld as it is more 'jumpy' than it needs to be.

Maybe a couple more frames in each to smooth it out then it's perfect!

Definitely copyright it after that!

I'll try to see if I can redo them with a longer pause between the movements

Ok here they are slowed down some I can make them even slower if needed

Thanks Harold, slowing down the frame rate makes it a lot easier on the eyes. Excellent work. Also nice to see the Kriegsmarine uniform.

Like to thank everyone for their comments. I'm glad to be of help to new and long time members. Many have helped me in the past and feel it's only right that I return the help when I can.... Harold

Here are a couple more gifs on foot drill just as important as rifle drill
STILLGESTANDEN!
