    “Since 1915, when the studio was first opened for business, an endless string of hard riding shoot-em-ups have been produced at this location. Monogram Studios made 750 “B” westerns before selling the ranch to singing cowboy Gene Autry in 1952. Legendary cowboy actors, including William S. Hart, Gary Cooper, Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, Bill Boyd, and John Wayne filmed their westerns here until 1962 when a fire swept through Placerita Canyon destroying the main western street.”

    The website for this piece of entertainment history has lots of photos of areas available for filming. The ranch is most famous to many people as belonging to Gene Autry, “The Singing Cowboy”. Currently, Melody Ranch is part of Veluzat Motion Picture Studios, owned by Andre Veluzat and Renaud Veluzat.

    “Problem:
    The Hollywood photograph is part of our cultural history, documenting as it does, the development and growth of a uniquely American industry. Some are significant works of art in their own right. Thoughtless of the future, some film studios and periodicals, even Photographers themselves, discarded old negatives and prints, or stored them haphazardly. We have already lost too many through deterioration and disposal. If these fragile and irreplaceable images are allowed to disappear, they can never be recaptured.

    Solution:
    Fortunately, we have come to realize that these fast disappearing works substantially shaped and influenced the lives of most twentieth century Americans, and will provide an invaluable visual resource for present and future generations. However, as in the case of other endangered species, it is crucial to act now.

    The aim of MPTV is to provide a permanent photography center with a special emphasis on the Hollywood photograph and the creative achievements of the Photographers.”

    ‘Human Footprint’ in the Hudson Valley | Posted by germain - 11 Apr 2008 9:21 am

    “Last night at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, the Hudson Valley Film Commission presented a screening of the National Geographic special called “Human Footprint”.”

    I did some location scouting for Human Footprint last year.
