Things is happnin'.

DER STEINFROSCH production is still cooking. I'm working on FX shots when we're not wrapping up frog fights and Hitler reenactments.

Not long ago if you had told me I'd have gotten a permit to shoot a scene with Adolph Hitler, German soldiers and MP40 machine guns at our local riverfront I'd have questioned your ability to reason but it happened. A big thanks to the Paducah KY PD and the Dept. of Parks and Recreation. It helped we didn't have any firing weapons going off or needed any roads blocked. An out-of-the-way location didn't hurt. Neither did the EARLY start time.

I can understand the city's concerns as far as liability is concerned.
ANYTIME you're shooting and firearms are involved whether they nonfiring or otherwise communication with local law enforcement is ESSENTIAL.

Making the necessary arrangements in advance means we were able to not only get our shots in short order but because I had scouted the location ahead of time at the same time of day when we'd film on shooting day I was easily able to direct my nazi minions in effectively. When I was a kid my dad said he had learned the "Seven P Principle" in the Navy. I still use it...

Another big thanks to my volunteer crew. Next post I'll give you the 411 on the folks that made my little sequence featuring the most hated man in history come to life. Thanks for stopping by.
