Looks INTENSE! Very dramatic. GO JONZA!!!

SC

Sounds intense too, great music.

One question tho, and this might not have anything to do with the movie, but is that what real firemen do? Cause when they broke the window the victim got burried under glass. I would think they'd want to avoid that. Either real firemen need to find another way to break into a car (rear window maybe?) or maybe that's a scene worth redoing?
To make it clear, this is not meant to put you down or anything, I applaude you for doing this and I'm looking forward to the finished movie. Just putting this out there as a heads up. But if this is how they do it in real life, forget I said anything

[lepage]

They covered the actor up with a blanket before breaking the glass. The Fire Dept. followed protocal for a car extraction pretty much to a "T". Everyone has to remember. I literally took some raw clips and slapped them together in no paticular order. There is a ton of footage with the Fire Dept. All this little clip does is kinda show a LITTLE of what we were up to on Saturday. What you see is not anywhere near what the end results will be. It is raw footage slapped together using rough cuts. What we filmed on Saturday was parts of the beginning, middle, and end of the film.

[Meule]

Yeah, I could see the actor was covered by a blanket, but in real life a victim wouldn't be covered. But if this is standard protocol I'll keep quiet. Just wanted to make sure everything in your movie was truthful

No Thomas in real life they DO cover up the patient.At least Englewood Fire Dept. does. The only thing I did with the Fire Dept. was stop them long enough to change camera positions. Everything they did is exactly how they do it. The ONLY thing done differently was they normally completely remove the drivers door when using the jaws of life. I couldn't have that as I needed to do some pickup shots after they left.
I don't know, maybe they do things differently in different parts of the U.S. and or/world!?
Thomas I appreciate your input!

[Meule]

This is a little confusing? If they cover up the victim that means they have to get in the car first. If there's another way in, why smash that window? All I know about their M.O. is what I've seen in the movies and from pics at my job (newspaper), which isn't all that much really, so there's probably a good explanation for it.
Anyway, I feel like we're digressing from the subject at hand: yoir movie, not the Fire Dept.'s M.O.

Wow, congratulations on making this happen. I know there are sooo many unforseen issues that come during these projects. It can be frustring, but keep plugging along. Just shooitng this is such an accomplishment. Good luck with the final product!

Ok,

The fireman who gets into the car through the passenger side (be it through the door or window) makes sure that the patients head/neck are held still. He also covers up the patient while the rest of the crew get the door open which is the quickest and safest way of getting the patient out while trying to keep his movement to a minimum. Going out the other side means you have to move the patient around more which is what they want to try and avoid.
Does it make more sense now?

That is so simple, of course that makes sense
Sorry, the lack of sleep is getting to me

[lepage]

no problem Thomas. I want my film to be as honest as possible so I loved that you asked questions.

[ironman1188]

best of luck on the film Lepage!

Good luck, General!

Traitor! You can't have more than one!

Best of luck, Dave!

Ian, good to see you still around. I emailed and PM'd you thru the OSW a couple of times. Please email me when you get the chance.

Jessica is no traitor, dude. She just knows what's up. There IS only one ape general around these parts, and all of us "ape heads" are simply his loyal gorilla army.

I actually got a miniature "stand up" of that very picture.

Sandy,
Jess knows I'm kidding around and what I mean.
We both come from the Sideshow Forum where I started what is known as the longest running thread that wouldn't die - SAVE THE PLANET OF THE APES! Over five years old and almost always faithfully kept up with postings that keep it page 1 material.
And there, I am known as the general.

Do you got a link? Sounds like good reading.
