April 1 filmingJust wanted to thank everyone for a great day of filming on April 1. I especially want to thank Cody and Jack for incredible performances they had. Everything turned out better than I could have imagined. A rough cut of the scenes has already been edited together and looks beautiful. I truly look forward to the rest of this summer, especially with the scenes that lay ahead of us. Until then.David |

To the two that make it possible...I too, look forward to the great experiences that lay ahead. We have been blessed to find such talented performers and a dedicated group of individuals to work on the crew and help bring this project to life.Furthermore, it goes without saying that none of this is possible without the passion of two of the most creative people I know, Mr. Burns and Mr. Whited. It is through them that we are fortunate to come together and do something we love. Hats off to you, Dave and Wayne. - Jeff |

Sunday, May 14, 2006 filmingI just realized that this is Mother's Day but we really don't have a choice to film. If I can figure this out we might film on Saturday May 13 in the morning. I will post a message on here as soon as I can get everything in order. |

On Schedule?Just wanted to let everyone know we are right on schedule with filming. However, we have had some down time with our narration of the two actors so with this we will probably be moving the release date of when this film will premiere. The release date could possibly be pushed back to as far as Spring of 2007. I personally feel we must do this in order to get the best possible film we can get, however, nothing is set in stone and can change at the drop of a hat.R.

To all reenactors:
I just wanted to confirm to everyone that filming will be taking place on JULY 9th,2006 at the Heritage Village Museum in Sharonville, Ohio. All impressions are needed this day, including Civilians both Men and especially Women, and Union military, both Officers and Enlisted. Below is a breakdown listing the scenes to be filmed and the impressions needed for each. Please be aware that times are provisional and may overrun due to filming delays and retakes, however we ask that all reenactors be there as early as possible to help out with our makeup and costume departments in preparation. 8am - Scene 80: EXT. CAMP CHASE HEADQUARTERS - DAY All Union military soldiers of any rank. To be filmed outside the Hayner House (Village Offices) on the steps. We need about 5-10 reenactors for this scene. 9am - Scene 82: EXT. TOWN - DAY All female Reenactors, 5 or more reenactors are needed for this scene, to take place in front of the Mercantile Museum Store 10am - Scene 27: INT. TRAIN STATION - DAY All Civilian Reenactors, both male and female, are needed. At least 5 or more, any age. To be filmed both inside and outside the Chester Park Train Station. Noon - Scene 77: INT. GENERAL THOMAS' HQ - DAY All Union Military Reenactors, both Enlisted and Officers of any rank. At least 10. To be filmed both inside and outside the Vorhes House. 2pm - Scene 20: EXT. RECRUITING OFFICE - DAY We need mostly male Civilian Reenactors for this, plus a couple of Privates and Officers. Any Civilians who also have Military Private impressions would work best, as they can be seen on screen both as a civilian and after they have been enlisted in uniform for the next scene. 3pm - Scene 21: INT. RECRUITING OFFICE - DAY Same as above. We will be using the same reenactors from Scene 20 for this one. Plenty of time to be seen on screen within these two scenes. I want to also state that any reenactor who wishes to take place in the filming but have not received or sent in a sign-up sheet. please come along and join in. We need as many as we can get and everyone will be used and seen on screen. The more the merrier, and the better the scenes! We will also be providing food and drink for everyone participating in the filming. Upon arrival, please follow the signs to the registration pavillion and follow the instructions of the staff who are there to answer any questions and help you to where you will be needed. We look forward to seeing all of you this weekend for a great time! Wayne W. Whited & R. David Burns Executive Producers, Historical Productions. |

July 9. 2006 ShootI just want to add a quick incredible thank you to all the reenactors that showed up for our July 9 shoot in Sharon Woods Heritage Village. Everyone was very well dressed as well as very helpful in the scenes that we accomplished. I have reviewed some of the dailies and I am very excited at what we captured. This was indeed the best shoot we have had to date. I just wanted to say that everyone's hard work on Sunday was very much appreciated and from the bottom of my heart I thank each of you for coming out and helping us make this project come to life. Without the passion of you reenactors filmmakers like us would be out of a job. From one reenactor to the next, Thanks.Sincerely, R. David Burns Executive Producer/Director |

It is with that type of dedication for the hobby and for the Civil War in general that will make this project the best it can be. I am anxiously waiting to see the completed scenes on screen, as I sure you are as well. I wanted to inform everyone that within the next week I will be posting on this forum information about the upcoming filming dates on August 18-20 where we will be recreating the battle of Chickamauga on screen. We need as many Union and Confederate reenactors as we can get, and anyone interested in helping out for one or all of these days please email us at the address listed on the home page with your name, snail mail address, and type of protrayal you have and we will get you detailed information mailed to you. We are also calling out to any artillery, cavalry, and medical impressions. We are also in need of behind the scenes helpers for this weekend as well. Anyone with pyrotechnic knowledge and ability who is wishing to help out on this weekend with special effects please contact me personally at hispro@peoplepc.com explaining your skill and a detailed description of what you are able to do. Once again, great work and thank you for everything you have done to help with our film. I look forward to seeing everyone again this August. Wayne W.
