Hi
Some further info:

"Making of HTWWW" seminar / rough cut (Digital Video 4 x 3 Projection) 1 hour hosted by Dave and Randy. (Randy & I will introduce several start and stop video segments and talk between them, this will be a "rough cut" of a 40 minute documentary for Warner Home Video. )

This will cover the origins of How The West Was Won beginning with a 1923 pageant, the seven part Life Magazine series, the popular Bing Crosby record album, and through the gigantic production that became the highest grossing picture made in the year 1962.

This would feature rare audio recordings of Henry Hathaway and the three ASC cameramen who shot the film talking about the difficulties of the Cinerama filming. On screen will be rare behind the scenes stories and never before seen interviews with the actors, producer and editors. An added bonus is an unusual look at the films spectacular locations back then and how they look today after 45 years.

We would briefly discuss the remastering of "How the West Was Won" and what the Warner Brothers plan is for SmileBox deluxe collectors edition.

We would also spend the last 15 minutes of the hour getting feedback on what the audience would like to see included in the final cut documentary.

This presentation will begin with a the showing of the 6 minute 3-panel trailer for "How the West Was Won" on the curved screen.
