Alabama Hills (California) Film History

LA Times | Entertainment | Lone Pine: All About Location, Location, Location | By Pamela A. Richard | October 05, 2001 in print edition F-18

Hi-yo Silver, away! Those famous words still echo through the canyon where the masked man and his sidekick, Tonto, rode through the nearby Alabama Hills ridding the West of bad guys. The Alabama Hills, in the shadow of lofty Mt. Whitney, have been used since 1920 as a location in hundreds of films - and not just for Westerns.”

    Another Kind of Location Scout

    Carroll County (AR) News | Blogs | The Ubiquitous Pig | The Ogallala Blues | Daniel Krotz | Posted Tuesday, August 26, at 4:53 AM | via Google News Alerts

    “…One person who does understand what we are doing is the very fine American writer Annie Proulx. In her novel, That Old Ace in the Hole, she comically and bawdily tells the story of Bob Dollar, a callow and hapless “secret location scout” for Global Pork Rind. The book is about how Bob slowly and only in due course discovers the environmental and human costs of manufacturing “pork units.” Along the way, Proulx treats us to a social and natural history of the panhandle that informs us about what is happening to the Ogallala–and how we can become wiser stewards of this great and not readily renewable resource.”

    Animal House Movie Lives On

    The Register-Guard (Eugene, OR) | ‘Animal House’ revisited | The 1978 comedy lives on with an inside look during a two-hour documentary tonight | By Mark Baker | Published: August 13, 2008 12:00AM

    “…Thirty years after the release of the classic National Lampoon comedy filmed in Eugene and Cottage Grove, it’s still local legend and most likely always will be.”

    “…Produced for less than $3 million, “Animal House” turned out to be one of the most profitable movies ever made, bringing in $141.6 million at the box office. The U.S. Library of Congress even deemed it a “culturally significant” film in 2001, selecting it for preservation in the National Film Registry. It also made Bravo’s list of the “100 Funniest Movies” ever made, and was No. 36 on the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 best American comedies.”

    Finding Location Scouts and Location Managers on Twitter

    I am always curious who the other people out there in cyberspace are that are somehow associated with location scouting and location management for film / tv and photo, so I felt lucky to discover that Twitter has its own search engine now, search.twitter.

    So… using the boolean search terms “location scout” OR “location scouts” OR “location scouting” OR “location manager” OR “location managers”, I came up this query to find Twitter tweets based on same.

    What’s even kewler is Twitter provides an Atom feed for any query :) it’s aggregated below :) with the 10 most recent tweets that contain any of the search terms.

    What is Twitter, anyway?

    Wikipedia has the the following to say about Twitter:

    Wikipedia | Twitter

    “Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.”

    “…The (location) scout tells us that the tunnel and chamber was once a spur of a forgotten subway, an underground maintenance area for the cars, built in the 1920’s. In 1955, the tunnel suffered a collapse that flooded this section of the system, and the lower portions of the track were abandoned. 100 yards from the repair yard the tunnel now opens up directly to the East River.”

    About Watchmen (Film) / Wikipedia

    Watchmen is a 2009 film adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ comic book limited series of the same name, directed by Zack Snyder. The film stars Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, Stephen McHattie and Carla Gugino. Set in 1985, the film follows a group of former vigilantes as war begins to break out between the United States and the Soviet Union. The film began shooting in Vancouver in September 2007 for release on March 6, 2009.[1] Like his previous film 300, Snyder closely modeled his storyboards on the comic, but unlike 300, he chose not to shoot all of Watchmen using chroma key.”

    Location Scouting Guerilla Style in Brooklyn

    NY Times: Have Camera, Will Trespass, on Brooklyn’s Waterfront | By Sewell Chan | July 31, 2008, 11:00 am

    Nathan Kensinger generally does not ask for permission when he photographs the decaying remnants of Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront. Since 2003, he has wandered into shuttered factories, padlocked basements and forbidding warehouses. He often goes along with other photographers who have an adventurous bent. He hasn’t been arrested, yet, but he doesn’t want to tempt fate, either.”

    read more

    In reality, there is quite a bit more to location scouting than just “getting in” a location - in fact, that is just the beginning … Location Scouting at Wikipedia …but, then, the Times story wasn’t really about location scouting anyway, altho, it is mentioned that Nathan is a location scout for Law and Order

    That said, there is no intent to detract from the motivation and beauty of Nathan’s photography, which is quite impressive!

    Location Scouting in Hoboken, NJ

    Recently, I was hired to location scout in Hoboken, NJ for an upcoming UK tv program and it was an opportunity for me to explore an interesting city I have lived within 20 minutes or so of for about 15 years but never really spent much time in, other than to pass thru on the NJ Transit train to get to the PATH train, (which runs under the Hudson River) to travel into New York City.

    Besides being chock full of local NYC area history and home and birthplace to many interesting people (including Frank Sinatra), Hoboken has somewhat recently morphed from a gritty harbor town into an elegant urban enclave- but with enough of the gritty edges left over to maintain a contrast of lifestyles and visual texture.

    A few interesting facts about Hoboken (with a little help and thanks to The Hoboken Museum, Wikipedia, IMDB and other resources):

    The name Hoboken is derived from the Dutch word, “Hoebuck,” meaning “high bluff.”

    Hoboken is known as the “Mile Square Town”; if you look at a map of the town you will see that it is laid out pretty much in a neat square shape. BTW, here’s another map of Hoboken.

    Hoboken’s institute of higher learning, Stevens Institute of Technology, is named after patriot Colonel John Stevens, Colonial Treasurer of New Jersey and later innovative inventor. The college is located on the bluff which rises sharply up from the Hudson River’s edge, and is one of the many bluffs in the area from which the town name was derived.

    The Academy Award-winning movie, “On The Waterfront“, starring Marlon Brando and directed by Elia Kazan and which premiered in 1954, was filmed in Hoboken.

    American baseball was “born” in Hoboken! this from the Hoboken Baseball website:

    “On 19 June 1846, the first officially recorded, organized baseball match was played under Alexander Joy Cartwright’s rules on Hoboken’s Elysian Fields with the New York Base Ball Club defeating the Knickerbockers 23-1. Cartwright umpired.”

    GeoURL + Other Mapping Stuff

    If you are a location scout and you dont know nuthin’ ’bout maps, well then, you aint… well let’s just say you should!

    It hardly seems accidental or coincidental that most location scouts and location managers (as well as many directors, photographers, dp’s, producers and pa’s) seem to have at least just a little bit of that “techy gene” that gravitates them towards stuff like maps, organized data, gadgets, electronics, etc, etc… in any case, maps is useful stuff!

    I mean, isn’t it pretty much assumed that you are real good at finding stuff? Aren’t you the “go-to” person to get your crew to and from a location as expeditiously and safely as possibly?

    You might be a location scout if… ;-)

  • Do you own a GPS? (I do)
  • …how’bout a really good compass? (that too)
  • Do you spend an inordinate amount of time on Google Maps?
  • ...ponder ways to geotag your location scouting photos? …gotta luv FlickrMaphere’s mine
  • …I rest my case…

    …but I digress…

  • Title: The GeoURL ICBM Address Server
  • Webspace: GeoUrl
  • Description: “GeoURL is a location-to-URL reverse directory. This will allow you to find URLs by their proximity to a given location. Find your neighbor’s blog, perhaps, or the web page of the restaurants near you. GeoURL is listing 2,159,636 sites.”
  • Add your site (also see below)
  • Location Resources (pretty good list of online mapping links)
  • GeoURL (yummy GeoURL chicklet for this website)
  • GeoUrl Page for this website
  • I was very surprised to find there was not a Wikipedia page for GeoURL. Short of writing it myself, in the meantime, I have created a request for a GeoURL page to be added to Wikipedia

    Basically, what happens is (using a very useful helper if you need it) you add the supplied metatags to the head (truncated for illustration) section of your homepage*

    *this is admittedly somewhat “techy” stuff here… if you don’t already know, then it is up to you to be motivated enough to read and learn for yourself - read: don’t even think about writing me asking for “internet lessons”

    If you view the source of my home page you will see the following metatags:

    meta name=”ICBM” content=”40.86335, -74.16205″ / (truncated for illustration) (hint: see anything looks just an itty bitty teeny weeny bit like latitude and longitude?)
    meta name=”DC.title” content=”nyc.locationscout.us” / (truncated for illustration) DC.title

    Voila! - that is how GeoURL indexes your website :-)

    If you look on the results page for a GeoURL lookup of this website, you will see quite a bit of useful info:

    Ziki + Other Social Networking Websites

    ziki.com is one of them newfangled mashup social software web 2.0 thingamajiggers ;-)

    Honestly, most any social software site has got to be a good thing, there are just so many -

    Here are a few things I have learned trying out a number of social software sites:

    1. Make sure the site itself that functions correctly and is likely to stay online for the foreseeable future especially if there is potential for you to spend a lot of time configuring your profile / settings and maintaining / contributing to the community - many new sites appearing on the internet on a constant basis are beta works-progress, may have been simply built to flip… there are just a lot of things to take into consideration about investing a lot of time (or possibly even money) in a website over which you have no control regarding its actual existence.
    2. Be careful you don’t duplicate your own content or draw attention away from your own site (if that matters to you) adding your feed(s) or other content from your own site to the social site…not to open an seo can of worms here…

    I find Ziki interesting because it allows both a business profile and a personal profile - I had both, but ended up preferring only to have a business profile and what was nice was to be able to delete the personal profile pretty easily.

  • Here’s what the Ziki folks have to say about themselves.
  • My Ziki Business Profile
  • Other Social Networking sites of possible interest…

  • Twitter Profile Wikipedia
  • Tribe Profile Wikipedia
  • MySpace Profile Profile Wikipedia +4
  • FeedMeLinks (Bookmarking) Profile
  • del.icio.us (Bookmarking) Profile Wikipedia +1 +2 +3

  • LinkedIn (business networking) Profile Wikipedia +1 +2
  • Zimbio Profile +1
  • Suprglu (feed aggregator) Profile
  • Feedbite (feed aggregator) Profile

  • Of course there are conventional online forums that have been around for some time, in fact even before the internet in the form what now may seem primitive (tho some people may have liked ‘em better that way(?) bbs’s.

    Several professional / business themed forums I am or have been active in over a number of years are:

  • Wheresspot +5
  • APANet
  • PhotoNews +6
  • LocationTalk +1

  • No discussion about social websites would be complete with mention of Wikipedia - The Online Encyclopedia. An encyclopedia is not, in and of itself, generally thought of as “social”, however, what makes Wikipedia unique is that it is an encyclopedia comprised of articles authored and edited by its readership. I have begun and have helped edit a number of Wikipedia articles of subjects (such as location scouting) of interest to me.

    Location Scouting on Technorati + Other Sources

    Preface: This post is not so much about doing actual location scouting work using the internet*, but rather finding online content that other location scouts might be posting around the internet or other published content on the subject of location scouting. So I guess it is, in way, but not really?

    Technorati is an Internet search engine for searching blogs, competing with Google, Yahoo and IceRocket. As of December 2007, Technorati indexes over 112 million weblogs.[1] The name Technorati is a portmanteau, pointing to the technological version of literati or intellectuals.” (Wikipedia)

    Technorati has received some criticism recently surrounding some of its activities (see Technorati Wikipedia page), however, there is no arguing with an index of 112 million blogs, someone is using their services…

    To find blog posts, photos and online video about a given subject, do a search on the Technorati home page using terms pertaining to the subject you are seeking information about.

    Technorati relies relies heavily on the “tagstaxonomy hence when results returned from a basic Technorati search, the url will contain the following structure:

    …technorati.com/tag/subject

    Search results page for “location scouting” is http://technorati.com/tag/location+scouting

    If you are an internet content author and wish to have your content show up in Technorati results you may wish to note Technorati uses the “+ sign” separator for multi word search term phrases.

    Sam Rohn and I post a lot online on the subject of location scouting, so you are likely to find a lot of results from our websites in the Technorati index.

    In addition to Google’s ongoing indexing of general web content, Google Blog Search indexes blogs specifically and is a direct competitor for Technorati’s audience.

    Here is the results page for a Google Blog seach using the search phrase “location scouting”.

    Google Blog Search has gained some popularity recently, an example being that the very popular blogging software, WordPress recently switched to Google Blog Search as the default source for incoming links on the administration dashboards of WordPress hosted blogs and user-hosted blogs.

    I am not that familiar with Ice Rocket, altho I do know they have been around for some time and I am pretty sure Ice Rocket is one of the many default blog indexing services pinged by WordPress’s (Automattic) Pingomatic service. (If you havent noticed, I rely on WordPress quite a bit as the website platform for all my websites). The WordPress / Automattic group carries quite a bit of cred with me, so I am sort of like, “if they think it’s good, then it must be”.

    …so, here is a blog search for “location scouting” using Ice Rocket

    Yahoo has a blog search engine as well, but frankly, it seems a little weak - at least one review calls Yahoo’s Blog Search “not much more than a quick add-on to Yahoo News”. In any case, here are results of a Yahoo Blog Search for “location scouting”.

    A while back I made a post on rrhobbs.com about a Yahoo Pipe I found called del.icio.us Tag Masher that aggregates bookmark results using 4 different search terms which always returns some informative results. I’d like to find a mashup that delivers aggregated results from Technorati, Google Blog Search, Ice Rocket, Yahoo and del.icio.us.

    I recently authored my second article for Wikipedia, a short definition / description of the term “location library”:

    Location Library (Motion Pictures and Still Photography)

    …the title is nearly as long as the article! ;-) Believe it or not, even tho the terms “location archive” or actually, more frequently, “location library” are terms I (and maybe you, too, if you are reading this - it’s not like I ever purported my blog to even attempt to appeal to anyone beyond a very specific niche of folks who work in various capacities in the film, photo and tv production communities… so unless you fit that profile the only way I can imagine you ended up here is you are really lost or really bored ;-) )

    …but I digress…

    I started a considerably lengthier article on the subject of location scouting several years ago:

    ..which I have continued to contribute to regularly as the article has matured - thanks of course to the generous contributions other Wikipedians

    Both articles are part of my efforts as a member of Film-Reel-Wikipedia Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Filmmaking task force

    Also, altho the Wikipedia no-follow links policy is in place for very good reasons (i.e. link spam) and therefore, since Wikipedia doesnt generate any “link love“, I am tooting my horn here!

    space.com | Nature’s Own New Year Fireworks | SETI | By Peter Jenniskens | SETI Institute | posted: 03 January 2008 06:29 am ET | …by way of Sue P (thanks Sue :-)

    “If all goes to plan, my research colleagues and I will have front row seats to spectacular New Year fireworks. These are not the artificial bangs and whistles that shoot a few hundred yards into the sky, but the awe-inspiring impact of cosmic dust moving at astronomical speeds. These bits of comet dust travel through space faster than Santa’s sled, spanning the distance from Los Angeles to New York in a mere minute and a half. When they hit Earth, the impact of a grain of sand shines so brightly it can be seen for hundreds of miles around. They are called “meteors.”

    WGA Writers Strike 2007 - 2008

    Note: The author is a freelance film / photo location scout and location manager and is neither a member of AMPTP or WGA. Any of the opinions expressed are those of R. Richard Hobbs.

    Been missing the latest episodes of your favorite sitcom lately? Got left sitting on the edge of your seat wondering what happenned next on that tv drama you really like? Tired of watching reruns of late night talk shows (except for Letterman - and maybe the Tonight Show- but only as of this week…)

    Any of the above could likely be due to the the ongoing WGA Writers Strike, which began November 5th, 2007. The two primary organizations involved in this dispute are The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and The Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers (AMPTP).

    The WGA supplies writers to the AMPTP, who’s members produce the majority of network television shows and major feature films.

    The WGA is a guild. The AMPTP is a trade association.

    The last contract between the WGA and the AMPTP expired last fall and the reasons for the strike involves what the WGA feels are unresolved issues in the new, pending contract (obviously a large amount of detail, discussion and info…), but are largely with regard to compensation to the writers from income to the producers from new media and distribution, i.e. internet and other electronic / digital media.

    If you follow the many sources of news and information about the strike including entertainment industry and production trade publications such Variety and The Hollywood Reporter (Wikipedia has a good overview of the strike as well), you may find the matter is very involved and complicated. This strike involves major organizations and hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. Each side has teams of lawyers and representatives and at least one party has hired a public relations firm.

    Conventional thinking might suggest that if two parties in question cant seem to agree, then an expeditious solution might be to enlist the services of a knowledgeable, but impartial third party to be a mediator or arbitrator, however, at this writing, one or neither of the WGA and AMPTP appear willing to allow the matter to be solved in this manner and there is no law prohibiting the strike since the strike (arguably ;-) does not affect “necessity services”, i.e. public transportation, utilities, etc.

    While I am sure, at the bottom of it all, (except for maybe the lawyers? ;-) everyone would like to see this strike settled as soon as possible altho it also appears to be a wrestling match as well; my bet is, sadly, that the settlement comes down to whichever of the two organizations has the deeper pockets. The settlement of a situation such as this potentially has far reaching effects for both parties as a group and the lack of same adversely affects related industries… on a more personal level the situation I think a lot of people really want to get back to work … so complicated…

    In the meantime, from a selfish point of view, while I am not a a laid-off staff from a show (I am a “non-union” freelance location scout, location manager and photo shoot producer) or currently a crew member on involuntary hiatus from a feature film; overall, there is currently less work for everybody and more people potentially looking to do whatever work might avail itself, so while I am not “directly” affected, a situation such as exists does, in fact affect me, so I just wish we could all just “get back to work”!

    Wikipedia Location Scouting

    Location Scouting / Wikipedia

    Location Scouting is a vital process in the pre-production stage of filmmaking and commercial photography. Once scriptwriters, producers or directors have decided what general kind of scenery they require for the various parts of their work that is shot outside of the studio, a search is begun for a suitable place or “location” outside the studio. Location scouts will also look for appropriately spectacular or interesting locations beforehand, to have a database of locations in case of requests.

    Location scouts are also often tasked with negotiating legal access to filming locations.”
