Century Notes: Michael Gross comes to Denver

Last week, television/movie actor/model railroader and railfan
Michael Gross was in Denver to do our on-camera narration.
I’m always impressed with the way Michael can bring a script
alive with his wonderful voice and his knowledge of railroading
is a true bonus.
Historian and editor of Railroad History Peter Hansen also provided
some excellent on-camera material as well. Pete produced
a top-notch script that is well-written and easy to follow.
We are now in the process of assembling all the visuals and
putting them in their proper files, 191 files to be exact! Next
Tuesday we start the editing process of putting it all together.
Video editing usually takes one hour per finished minute, so a
56 minute program will take us about 50-60 hours of work.
I’m looking for two more visuals for the program. They are: (1)
a Pacific-type locomotive pulling the “Century,” and (2) a shot
of a streamlined Hudson during World War II with some of its
shrouding removed for servicing.
For those of you on Facebook, check out my posting of last
week’s video shoot. That’s it for now. Rich
