| "JOHNNY" A DOCUMENTARY BY HISTORICAL PRODUCTIONS INC. |
| SOME OF US TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT JOHNNY CLEM OR BETTER KNOWN AS " THE DRUMMER BOY JOHNNY SHILOH". SHOT IN THE HERITAGE VILLAGE IN SHARON WOODS NEAR CINCINNATI OHIO. MOST OF THE TOWN SHOTS AND BUILDING SHOTS FOR THE MOVIE WERE DONE HERE IN ONE DAY. WE HELPED IN SOME BACKGOUND SHOTS, BEING OFFICERS, GUARDS AND CIVILIANS. |

| PHOTOS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ARE SHOOTING SCENES WITH THE ACTOR PLAYING JOHNNY, JOHNNY AS A PRIVATE AND HIS PROMOTION TO SERGEANT FROM GEN. THOMAS (GARY CHAMBERS) |
| WE STARTED AT 8AM AND WERE INVOLVED IN 6 DIFFERENT SCENES, INSIDE BUILDINGS AND OUTSIDE. THERE WERE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ON CAMERA AND TONY AND JUSTIN MADE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO. IF TONY HAD A DRESS HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN EVERY ONE! EVEN JOHN AND ROGER WERE FILMED OUTSIDE ON THE TRAIN STATION PLATFORM THROUGH AN OPEN WINDOW WITHOUT THEM KNOWING IT. JUSTIN SAID THE DIRECTOR LIKED IT AND CALLED "PRINT" |
| THERE WAS ONE SCENE JUSTIN JOHN AND ROGER WERE DISCUSSING BATTLE PLANS WITH A COL. (HERB PFAFF) IN A BACKGROUND SHOT.. WE RAGED ON ABOUT WERE TO PLACE ARTILLERY ACROSS A DEEP AND TRECHEROUS CREEK EVEN AFTER THE DIRECTOR SAID "CUT". THE DIRECTOR LIKED WHAT WE WERE DOING AND FILMED A SEPARATE SCENE WITH JUST US! |
