I can't stop thinking about Danny Glover and the Lethal Weapon series ... "I'm getting too old for this sh*t." I'm moving (allbeit a lot slower than usual) and made my long trek into the city for my regular job this morning, but I put off getting out of bed for an hour and my drive took twice as long due to traffic. Luckily I'm a computer geek, and only have to type during my usual day because I still have no voice. Now, on to stuff people care about:
We watched a few clips of film yesterday afternoon with MSG DuBois around 1700 just before we rolled the RV out of the camping area. We have amazing footage. Thank you all for *trying* not to shoot the cameras too much, the cameramen certainly did get a work out, though. By mid-day mayhem on Saturday I believe every one of them had asked me on the side when the next the game the Loaded Crows were going to so they could put down their cameras and pick up some markers to play with instead. Ideas are already floating around everyones' heads in respect to filming a scenario like this even better.
For those of you who missed the introduction, our goal with this project is to go to network broadcast. This may happen as a one-off type special, however if my dreams come true it will be sold as a pilot for a reality / documentary type series. We will have DVDs printed and available for sale within about 8-12 months. There may be an "early release" copy for sale in limited quantities a little earlier, to be honest its still a little early to tell too much.
Jay will begin thoroughly watching in the range of 80-120 hours of raw footage in a couple of days and hopefully we'll have our first teaser clip put together within about a week. We all need a couple of days to recuperate.
I have so many people to thank, I really don't have the time or space to list them out, that will be in a later post. For now: The US Army and USMA cadets, all of the collected scenario teams on both the Axis and Allied side. You guys did amazing, you all fought hard, and most importantly you all fought with honor. Thank you!

Aaron,
ReplyDeleteEngler tells me that you guys pulled some major footage from the event and will be looking to edit it down in order to make a DVD. Would love to learn more about that as well as invite you to thee event I'm involved with, D-Day in Oklahoma. Bob McGuire may also be looking for people who know how to run cameras, as he wants to stream the event and all that leads up to it live over the net. Drop me a note or give my office a call if you'd like to learn more.
Sincerely,
Andy Van Der Plaats
