Short on Story, Long arm of the Law


when you don't have much of a story you find other ways to pad. I used dialogue, pertaining to "The Crews" History, and that came with naming locations i.e.counties. Retrospectively, three is a bit much, but live and learn, live and learn...I mean I would now stretch that over a couple of episodes.

Opening Credits+Mockingbird


I had absolutely no idea for opening credits. we(Joe Gallo - DP) shot this footage, because we had some time left over(from shooting a couple other scenes), and the location was perfect....(*) ....(if memory serves, we had about an hour remaining to shoot)...everyone helped out, quickly moving gear/props....so that we could use the whole space....This was primarily Joe's baby, in terms of composition..and even though, I didn't know where I was going to use the footage, I knew not to worry about sound, cause I figured I would put music on top of it. So when I heard "Mockingbird", by local band "Palliard"...oh,man...dead fuckin on....

"should I take it as a sign, or do we get what we deserve?..."
...
Here's a Blog/review on Palliard.
