Basic Painting: An Introduction to Scenario Paintball at West Point
BASIC PAINTING is the first documentary about scenario paintball shot on location at the Combat Classic at West Point. Yes, THAT West Point.
In conjunction with the Department of Defense Public Affairs, BASIC PAINTING introduces the viewer to the world of scenario paintball at one of the most prestigious games on the east coast, which is produced by the Cadets of the Army Paintball Team and their supervisors.
BASIC PAINTING follows the cadets as they prepare for the weekend and the players who form the two opposing forces. From artillery simulators to playing the game on the side of a mountain on the hollow grounds of West Point, NY, this is one scenario paintball weekend not to be missed! Learn the players’ techniques, weaponry, communications net, camaraderie, and “friendly-yet-competitive spirit” as they use World War II’s “Battle of Riva Ridge” as the basis for their scenario. Find out about the use of homemade tanks, the women who play paintball, and the families who play together.
