Out with the Old. In with the New…

These are truly revolutionary times we’re livin’. When has the power of technology been so available to those who seek it? It’s has never been as easy to produce & shoot your own film/tv project than now. No big clunky film cameras that make noise in action. Got a handheld? – That’ll do! Besides – it’s quiet! Whether funded out of our own pockets (like we haven’t all done this?) or from crowdfunding sources (the latter is a special skill still developing, as yours truly has found out). Even distribution is different now. Can’t secure a distribution deal thru the big studios or one of the smaller companies? Okay – create your own website for it and put it out there. Is it easy? Well, Yes & No...

On Location: USS Enterprise CV-6 Hangar at Planes of Fame Air Museum

1/2 IN the Can…

Thanks to Jerry Wilkins & all the staff out at Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, CA!!! A wondrous shoot that actually didn’t take all that long (Getting IT in the Can PDQ!)  Colonel Reynolds was first up on slate (or is that the chopping block?), relating his experiences in Iraq where he spent a good amount of time in the “Green Zone” under rocket & mortar attack. Particularly harrowing were his tales of being stalled in a supply column outside of Fallujah and the time two of his charges become disoriented while driving outside the “Green Zone” and were – thankfully – able to be coached back to safe haven before any trouble started...

Getting IT in the Can!!!

Masters of War: Soldiers of Distinction One Sheet

No, it’s not what you might think, it’s the “Masters of War: Soldiers of Distinction” teaser shoot is tomorrow!!! Thanks to the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, CA  for their graciousness in allowing us to utilize their facilities. The venerable David Hansen-Sturm is lensing it, with  Colonel F. Lee Reynolds USAR  onboard doing (what they call) Host Narrative.  His experiences from his multiple tours of Iraq will prove invaluable. Gordon Hearne, who is president of the Southern California Chapter of the Battle of the Bulge Veterans will appear in it also, but we’ll be shooting him in a different locale.  Been going back and forth with Mo Fitzgibbon (of Walker-Fitzgibbon.com) re: wardrobe...

Masters of War: Soldiers of Distinction One Sheet

The title is Masters of War: Soldiers of Distinction. Look through the eyes of soldiers from every nation as they witness – and participate in – the most dramatic conflicts in human history. From ancient times to the present day, see what they saw, live their experience, and use and handle their weapons. The selling point of this project is the main concept, which is “See the world’s most dramatic conflicts thru the eyes of the participants.”

 We’re very excited to have the distinguished Walker-Fitzgibbon Tv & Film Productions assistance on this series. Mo – you’re the best!!!

& tipping the edge of the Fedora to Evan Campbell for his outstanding artwork!!!

Moral of the story: when you have outstanding professionals like th...
