Too hard?

I'd recommend that too, but not after asking. Probably best to find another location.

I think he needs to ask, since there might be guns. Unless he's going for the Cowboys Vs. SWAT western.

And I just took a look at that Content Aware thing on photoshop. I dropped the F-bomb a couple times at work while watching it. Mind officially blown.
 
I started scrolling down the thread to reply to Larry to suggest he do a "Modern Western".



Then I saw this.

You might want to look into this. Would have to go frame-by-frame but could be worth it I suppose. Don't know when it comes out. I've heard rumors of April, but not sure.

I have no idea why, but my eyes teared up watching that.

Well unfortunately its going to cost too much to use the location as I'd need permits and police to block the street. I can't run and gun because we'd be tying up the street for most of the shoot and people drive there, park there, etc.

I may still drive over to the town and talk to the business owners that I would potentially be impacting and see if we can work out some arrangement. It's not a very busy town, so its possible they could work with me and let me just do my thing as long as I don't block their business. We'll see.

Course, I still have to finish the script, so it could all be moot if I don't do that .. plus I still need cast, crew, costumes, props, food, etc :)

I would advice to realy inform the shop owners as good as possible.

- if possible on closing days
- no music (on record time)
- also the neighbours can't play music during record time
- no drunk people
- no people that starts waving and stuff....
- cars will have to wait (so blocking cars is needed, don't be afraid to do that... people won't eat you) explain them what's happening. And most important explain to the cars waiting behind the first car, other wise they will horn.

Go out and ask it to the shop keepers. But inform as clearly as possible. Don't start saying "oh, no it will not be a big isue" if it is. Explain them how film is made, the waiting time, being silent. A "lot" of people. (For non-film-making-people, having 4 people in a crew is already "whoooow dude". When I explain that sometimes there are about 15 people.....)

If "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"(1969) is not a 'western'... then disregard...

But in that film there are several 'modern' elements, bicycles, and since it's been a while, I recall motorcycles being used in one of the sequences. Since BCatSK is set in the early 20th century, even telephones could be used...

Modern western could be cool indeed. But I was thinking in terms of 1800...
