253: Military, MilSim, and Filmmaking with Cory Haynes

The thing is, we like to see what we're good at represented in film. The problem with Hollywood, is that just that is so rare. Cory Haynes, aka Tacticooldork, has taken military experience, the high end of airsoft in Milsim, and filmmaking to just that level. Whether it was work on SCP: Overlord, Ten of Swords, or STALKER: Shadow of the Zone, he has brought the tactics, techniques, and procedures we look for in fantasy and depicted reality to the screen.

In this episode we talk about the challenge of bringing realism to milsim, the training value that has been introduced to the hobby, and what it takes to bring these things to life in film.
