HELP REQUEST
PHOTOS REQUIRED FOR A NEW BOOK ON
HOLLYWOOD AVIATION FILMS
For the last five years I've been writing and
researching for my first book which
is about Hollywood aviation films. Its been a fantastic journey that has
netted some fantastic new information along the way. This page is to ask fellow
aviation fans out there if they have any photos in their collections they might
kindly allow me to use in my book.
What would be considered:
- Any photos of aircraft that have appeared in either feature films or TV
series.
- Any privately owned photos taken by you which you would be happy to have
published.
- All photos must be similar in style to the examples below, black & white shots
also okay.
What will NOT be considered:
- Studio copyrighted images / studio owned stills.
- Any shot that clearly identifies well known cast or crew members.
- Scanned movie images from DVD format - definitely not!
Where and what to send:
Please email your stills in JPEG format to:
simon.beck@tvnz.co.nz
Make stills between 5mb and 8mb where possible and include
your written permission for use and details of the shots included.
DO NOT send large attachments of stills to the
listed email address on the home page of
this site as it will stall the email server, simple email enquires are still
welcome however.
