·      When managing make sure that every moment your employees are acting exactly how you would want the to act. The need to represent you exactly how you want them to. Set standards and demand excellence.

·      Make sure everyone is on the same page and make sure they get the respect that they deserve and show them their opportunity and value as who they are.

·      Being involved at every level will show your dedication to the company, in turn it will show your employee’s your own dedication and you will earn their respect.

·      Nobody owns “us” we are all working together

·      Best performance is to motivate and inspire, not demand and instruct

·      Being inspired and passionate writes the destination.

·      Without love the company will fall apart

·      Don’t forget why you are here

·      We are here to tell a story, we have to work together to tell the story. We work together to tell the story

·      They have to love you or you wont get it.

·      Don’t let technology ruin hiring. Make sure that everyone works together and synergizes well. Is there chemistry?

Permits are very important, you are putting a lot on the line if you don't play by the rules

as a location manager you need to find out where locations are private and what is public

are there restrictions on the size of the production

parking detail, what size is the crew, are there shuttles? does the street need to be closed?

filming night work, let the neighbors in on it, but be nice to everyone. sales to everyone

film permit check list is something that we should all transfer to our production journal

A lot of this info has been common sense, but good information that other people might not know if they have not booked events prior

Vikki Von Strohiem

Came back form Europe to film "Sunset Blvd." Father and Grandmother worked with several authors who wrote about Erich. Film Festival in Italy that only showed Stroheim films. Letter's to wife, son and other son. Half brother is Erich Jr. Her father is Joseph Erich Von Stroheim. He was a very funny man but appeared stern around the studio. Joseph was a combat photographer in WWII, he wasn't allowed to wear dogtags out of fear of capture and blackmail. Von Stroheim festival in Brazil and her other grandfather, Taylor Trumbo, got sent down by the LA Times and he was at a table with people from different papers trying to get a story and he shows a picture of Vicki and her sister. Most of the letters got sent to the Academy of Motion Picture arts and Sciences archives. Wants us to pursue and find out who put his Hollywood Star next to a rental car place. He had a foot fetish. There's a picture of him sucking on Vicki's toes. Denise controlled Erich's diet and they would take their own food with them places. Vicki has a helmet and a sword that is from a costume of Erich's. Denise says that Erich's shoes were always polished because of his military background and attention to detail. Joseph was the same way. Erich Von Stroheim was Jewish and on a shoot overseas they had a private audience with the Pope, all the guards thought that Joseph was a prince because he had a sword from military school on his belt. Changed his name on Ellis Island is true. Worked in New York at a haberdashery making hats. Didn't come to America with the intent to make films.

A new scene idea I had is for as an opening scene would be to have a tight shot on his Hollywood star and as it zooms pulls in appearing very victorious and proud to have a car drive over it and the camera can pull out to show the hustle and bustle of current Hollywood.

Arthur Lennig

He Designed his military designs and how the medals were arranged

Griffiths didn't have humor, stroheime did have humor

he was an idealist and a cynic at the same time

he started collecting film rather than renting his film out, but it was bootlegged

Universal re issued foolish wives re cut

Stroheim would never allow second takes to be put in his original 

Lenning started collecting all of the 16mm films directed by Stroheimm. In addition, Lenning has many other films that Stroheim acted in. When we go out to interview Lenning, he will allow us to take all of the film reels back to us so we can transfer them onto a digital copy. 

Von Stroheim was very stern when he was directing. When they were in a setting where the actors were eating caviar, he wanted real caviar instead of blackberry jam which was a lot cheaper because it had to be genuine. He wanted his audience to believe it was real so Stroheim said it had to be real. When the setting required a desert, he took the cast and crew out to a hot desert so that it could be was authentic. He could spend all day just wokring with someone to tell them how to walk into a room and sit at a table

When he went back to France near the end of his life, he was still involved with making films, but he was no longer as popular. At one time he was even counter fitting french money to make it look like real french money inside of one of his films. 

You could tell Stroheim that he was 10 years a head of his time and he would tell you, "NO 20, im 20 years a head of my time"
