New Video and 1st Draft of Script Done!

Hi Everyone:

Patti and I are working every day on the film. You will notice we have added a few new sections to the website and a few new videos.  The newest video we just posted shows the trains from Bachmann arriving. After we are done filming them with the bridge, they will be going to the Jefferson Historical Society to be displayed.

Today Matt McComb was over and we downloaded the 3-D models to begin working on the 3-D graphics that will be used in the film. The 3-D graphics are important because they are the graphics that will allow us to show the bridge collapsing, how it collapsed and the train crashing.

I finished the first draft of the script today! It still needs some editing and additions, but I'm happy with the progress. Over the next few weeks, I will be reading through it and making my edits. (Patti)

It looks like once we add the interviews from our engineer experts and historians we will have a 90-minute program. The script is not set in stone yet because we have a few more facts to check out. We will be contacting the Cleveland Police Museum on Monday, June 11th, to see if they can help us find any historical records on the murder of Charles Collins.

I also made changes to the Wikipedia website, which had some wrong information posted on it.

I also want to encourage anyone who is following this film to sign up to follow us through your email. By doing this you will receive emails of new postings on that are on the blog so you won't miss a thing.

We will soon be launching our fund raising campaign to gear up for the big filming this winter, so we will keep you posted on this.

Take Care
Len Brown, Director and Producer
