Documentary - No Bridge Too Far

[Walt's Daughter]

I have been diligently working away on this project for the last several days and am very pleased with the results so far. The North Africa segment is almost complete and if all goes as planned, will begin work on chapter 3 - Sicily, very shortly.

 

It is such a good feeling to be back in gear and seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

 

North Africa was a really tough segment, because there was very little info at first. Then all of a sudden, I began getting journals and personal memoirs and photos and film and...things began to come together.

 

I am also finding more sources for royalty-free music (classical, etc.). That doesn't necessarily mean it's FREE, but means it's affordable for a struggling artist, such as myself. It's amazing how quickly I've run through the money in the account. Five dollars here, sixty dollars there, one-hundred dollars, another ten dollars. It all adds up so fast.

 

I've had the pleasure of working with a lot of great people, including the publisher for Irving Berlin's music. They agreed to grant me a license for use for up to 1000 DVD's for $100.00. But I have to submit an application to Universal for rights to use the actual song White Christmas, as sung by Bing Crosby. I will let you know how that goes.

 

I deleted the two image files from the movie White Christmas, because it would wind up costing me around $250.00 dollars! A little too steep for me. I wasn't that concerned with the images, for what is really important, is to be able to use the song White Christmas, for it is integral to the storyline. Sure hope THAT works out.

 

What I REALLY need are some corporate sponsors, so I don't wind up skimping along the way. I want to make sure this winds up being a class act.

 

Well, it's getting late. Been up since 5:30 and need to go relax.
