Gents,
A little announcement, if you don't mind?
Several months ago I was approached by the Costume Designer for the film Red Tails, which is being produced by George Lucas, no less!! The film will follow several members of the Tuskegee Airmen through some of their exploits in WWII. Apparently this has been a LONG TIME project dream for Lucas.
So, I can now announce that I have been selected to do the "Hero" caps for the film. These will include 15 "Flighter" clones, as seen in many original pics of the Tuskegee Airmen, while stationed in Italy during the end of the war.
On a side note, I did HIGHLY RECOMMEND several of our fellow VLJ members for inclusion of their respective products in the film.... (I will allow them to ID themselves, but I feel sure that it is obvious to some of you), and funny enough, my suggestions were heeded in every case!!
I am currently in production on the caps for the film and shooting of 'principal photography' is slated to begin in several locations in Europe at the end of February. Hopefully we will be seeing the finished film some time in late 2009 but it may well be pushed til 2010.
Just thought that I would share this big news, for any that might care.
Thanks for reading,
DD
