Sites will need to have identifiable architectural detail, will need an actor in the original scene, and be a feature film made more than 20 years ago.

You will need to grab the stills from any film you wish to explore with us,

* Run the VHS tape or DVD through your PC, and use the FREE programme from - gom.com - to grab the stills.
* Use another FREE programme, - picassa.com - to make thumbnail prints, to print out the scenes that we all need in order to identify the locations and the camera angles.


See you in May.
