On a walk today down where we filmed the cowboy segment of our 'Real Gone Messiahs' film and trying to line up the shots from the film. The scenery has changed so much that the only bit I could identify was these 2 trees. The top photo was taken today and the lower image is taken from the film with Uncle Reg entering shot from the right dressed as his character 'Jet'. Both the surrounding scenery and the river have changed massively.

Here's a short clip which was a spoof of the Burt Reynolds film 'Deliverance' and filmed shortly after the family bought our first camcorder. This ultimately led to us writing our first b-movie 'Deliveries ' and the birth of Cheapo Films.
