With no real offense meant I wonder of your experience in Directing, staging, etc!.

I also wonder of the "HAHA"!?!?!? again, no real offense!.

Certainly with the HUGE staff you must have and the unlimited budget, and sources available, you have at least managed a general WWW search using keywords!?

As a former Props Master for years, even before the age of computers, I managed the Yellow Pages!.

One thing confuses me even more however!. In film, have you ever suspected that DUBBING, even editing is part of the process!?

I offer a pretty valid example!. "A Knights Tale" explored to the most minute detail on TV shows; History Channel, Discovery Channel, etc!. The show dissected the PROPS in every way, and explained the various processes!.

Understandably you shouldn't want anyone to be hurt, most especially if you don't have a bus load of extras waiting to be sliced open by a sword, during a scene, but come on!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
