I made this short film a year ago.
Bir Sreshtho Nur Mohammad Sheikh (বীরশ্রেষ্ঠ নূর মোহাম্মদ শেখ; 26 February 1936 – 5 September 1971) was a Lance Nayek in East Pakistan Rifles during the Liberation War. On 5 September, Nur Mohammad was patrolling with fellow soldiers. The Pakistan army managed to point out the position of Nur Mohammad’s team and attacked them from three different sides. Nur Mohammad wanted to retreat to his base and continued to fire towards Pakistani armies. He was killed in an engagement with the Pakistan Army while providing fire for covering the extrication of fellow soldiers. He was awarded Bir Sreshtho, Bangladesh’s highest award for valor. “The Glorious History of Nur Mohammad” Director: Ratul Biswas Producer: Syed Mosharraf Ail Team Co-Ordinator Shahriar Fahad Asst.

The Glorious History of Nur Mohammad
I really like the “title card” sequence. The end title is also very creative – I really like the “drop shadows.”
The animation starts out very, very strongly dramatic. In some of the early camp scenes I do notice that some of the actors aren’t moving – or aren’t moving enough. (No one ever stands perfectly still, even if they’re just “doing ‘stage business.’” This is particularly noticeable in several shots where a man’s right arm “floats up and down,” and in a couple of scenes where soldiers standing in the trees – as the camera pans to the right to cover them – are not moving at all.) The “walking” animations are quite believable, although sometimes I think that the body-movements would naturally be little bit more abrupt – not quite as fluid or slow.
The cinematography, use of focus, camera placement and various camera moves are very strong. The effect really “feels like” the way that a live-action movie covering the same material would probably be done. It is always very clear, and remains consistent, just how the set is organized and where the actors are within it. You have a good balance between consistency and variety in how you place and use the cameras. The “hanging” sequence was a powerful surprise, and the use of a backward truck movement to connect between the camp soldiers and their opponents lurking in the trees is very solid. You make very good use of what is and what is not “in tack-sharp focus” to steer the viewer’s attention to where it needs to be in visually-complex scenes. You present what would be several “very tricky photographic exposures in a live film,” and make them look as they would look in a humid, misty jungle.
The lighting is quite believable, as is the color palette.
Even though I don’t speak the language at all, the film did visually present the setting and the essence of Nur’s military sacrifice very effectively. I was easily able to follow along (once the animation started). English subtitles would be very helpful.
The music is also excellent, as are the sound effects and foleys, and they really support the movie. All of the modeling, props, etc. are very detailed and well done. The title graphic is as professional-looking as it gets.
Very nicely done. A solid “historical documentary short film.”
. . . and-d-d-d … it always pays to “be the last person to walk out of the theater!”
