BOUNTY ON A DEAD MAN'S HEAD - By Matt "Defcon" Harris

Damn, I'm so jealous of you guys out west, great location. Out of curiosity, what is the location fee for that place, who is it done through?

[Matt Harris]

Chris, it's true, we west coasters are at an advantage for western scenics. But i had to travel 3 hours to find this location so it's not exactly my back doorstep. The location fee is a bunch of bull. Even if you are 1 cameraman with 2 actors they charge you for all sorts of "application fees", insurance etc.

Honestly it's probably $600, but still not worth me paying for. The land is too large, there are too many caverns and crevices that I can shoot in, so I'm gonna run and gun it. Not to mention, I'm just going with a Rebel T2i and some lavs. No soundguy or crew or anything.

I saw what you did with Acceptable Losses, just create another set!

Like you title. I can think of a lot of possibilities there.

Cool pics!

I've already started paper macheing my kitchen into a saloon.

Thanks Tim. I have watched countless Italian westerns this past year and they all have titles like that. It keeps my options open as i write the story.

Chris just turn your spaceship interior into a wagon interior, shoot against greenscreen and there's your location. (as if it's that easy)

Yeah... clarified why I typically hate TV... because I was watching radio...

[Matt Harris]

too true. but speaking of westerns, have you seen JUSTIFIED on FX? It's on tonight, episode 3, the show is damn good.

I love the location, how can you get those spaghetti bullet sounds like in the old Leone films? I love those.
