Having problems with message search?
Thanks, Jim, forthe heads up. We did shoot some film many years ago, but maybe the city had changed their rules; we'll check. Stockton had no requirements for the shoot at their rural cemetary; but againt hey might have changed their requirements.
We shall check out both and again, thanks.
Live every day with the 3 E's:

SAAM members:
I've never contributed to this group before but you brought something up that
you might want to know about.
A year or so ago, we were shooting some still photos at the cemetery on
Broadway. I have to admit, from an observer's point of view, it was kind of
weird, it was of a lady dressed up in a bride's gown.
Somebody approached us and asked what we were doing, we were not
doing anything commercial but he told us that to take photos in the cemetery,
we had to have a permit from the City of Sacramento. We didn't argue with
him, so we just packed up and left. They told us it was a privacy issue in
that people's names were on the monuments.
Just a heads up, I didn't see a problem with what we were doing, but the city
can have some weird rules.
Although I joined your group a while back, I haven't been following your
activities, I'll have to pay more attention to the Yahoo site.

Sue and Bob White, Herb Bennett and Barbara Evans, Bernie Scoville and Florence Smith attended. Discussed were the issues regarding the shooting of "Ihe Midas Sac, of Flour. Russell Tanihana and his son Jonathan are willing to play the roles of father and son in the script.
Also discussed: where to shoot the father and son scenes. By blue/green screen or ussing the entrance of a local cemetary such as the one on Broadway, or go to the cemetary in Stockton and shoot everything there.
I phoned Erick Lorenz and he believes that the blue/green screen method is complicated and the chance of having a good result would be hard to achieve. This means that either going to Stockton Rural Cemetary where Gridley's statue is located or using Sacramento's Broadway Cemetary for the father/son scenes seems the two choices we will have to make. Erick will be available to work on the shoot the first four Saturdays in May. I will contact Russel Tanihana to see if he and Jonathan would be available on one of the May Saturdays.
