On the Western Front
Gentlemen,
By trade I am a production accountant. That is to say I keep the books for movie productions. My current project has me working in Atlanta on the latest Schwarzenegger action movie. The film is about some “badass” cop, drug dealers and shootouts. I’m sure there’s more to it but I haven’t gotten through the script. The “badass” is an ex super-secret Delta, SEAL, gourmet, pilot, sniper, squirrel hunter operator. At any rate, the Art department has put out a request to the crew asking for military photos of friends and family from Vietnam to present to use as set decoration in the film. The idea is the art department will sift through the photos and pick out the most “photogenic” to use. The request has turned up very few photos and the art department is still in need. Knowing that there are some real-life bad asses on the Hide, I thought I would extend the request.

If this interests you I propose the following:
1. PM me the photo you would like to submit.
2. I will forward your photo to the art department.
3. If your photo is picked I will put you in contact with the art department and step out.

If this interests you please consider the following:
1. OPSEC - Please consider the content of the photo and maintain Operational Security.
2. Release – If your photo is picked you will be asked to sign a release as will anyone else appearing in the photo.
3. Payment – YOU WILL NOT BE MONETARILY COMPENSATED. The only reward will be to have your photo briefly appear in a cheesy action movie.
4. Alteration – If your photo is picked it may be altered. As explained to me this means a person or people may be added to your photo or an actor’s head may be superimposed over yours.

Please remember, I am an accountant. I have no say over which photos are picked, how they will be used, or if they will be altered. I thought it might be fun for some of the members on the Hide. Thanks for your time and consideration. - Splean

Re: Military Movie Photos

Gentlemen,

Thanks for submitting the photos. I will pass them on to the art department at the end of each day (1900) until they've had enough, one way or another. I will let you know if your photo is picked via PM.

CS1983 I'm sorry to say your photos of Cooter were flatly denied. I was told it was an action movie, not an "action" movie. They did arouse some interest amongst the artists and if he ever contemplated a "lifestyle" change he would not be on the shelf for long.

Cpt.creedmoor thank you for your photo of your topiary I will pass that one on to the Greens Department.

Thanks again and keep them coming. Thank you for your time and service.

Killer Spade 13... Really great picture!!! Ever run across another rotorhead named Al Cito? Same AO and timeframe as you. He got out mid-'70s. Last I knew, he was in Dubai/sandland in the 1980's doing contract flying. Interesting guy!

Just wondering...

Cheers,
