Gizmo and Chapin were riggers as well as drivers for the camera truck from California to Oregon. Shot against a beautiful bread and breakfast and amazing lighthouse. What I do remember is the director John had won a grant from his college which allowed him to proceed to shoot this film and he chose Oregon. Eileen fields played a major role for she helped organize the shoot and the crew to goto Oregon and shoot the story. I was one of the drivers Gizmo I had such a good time driving up through the red Forest up to the lighthouse area. I met one of the assistance advisers out there she was a teacher for a high school she was very nice. Unfortunately I never watched the movie because I had worked on other Productions. Now I find myself running to relive the memories, unfortunately I don't not know if there is a listing for the movie I have looked, I will look again maybe it's just me. Chapin was my sidekick we were both still young in the business but working with Eileen fields a lot. I give her a lot of credit if it was not for her me and Chapin would not have booked this gig and not have the time of our lives driving up to Oregon I think it was around before summer I remember it was still cold in the morning. We did a night time beach scene where I had a huge fogger look like a cross between a chainsaw and a blower I found myself running up and down trying to get this look they wanted. Finally after talking on the radio I was able to deliver the look of the fog on the beach. Eileen had me laughing on the radio because she was saying ,"you look like a madman out there."
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
