alwyneth	Posted - June 03 2008 : 3:24:58 PM username: alwyneth I am looking for people who might have exerpts of vhs footage of the academy award nomination of Last of the Mohicans. I am looking for scenes from massacre valley, an exerpt of which was shown during the academy awards from 1992. The film won for best sound at the academy awards in 1993 and a different film exerpt was used for the ceremony. I am also wondering if anyone would have a still picture of me from the film, my name is Wanda Meadows, my own camera went missing during the filming, and I came home with no stills of anyone at all, stars, cast or crew. I thought I remembered a time when people from LOTM were petitioning to have specific scenes included in the directors cut. I have contacted the director, the studio and the academy. Has anyone else had any luck in getting footage themselves? alwyneth@comcast.net

alwyneth	Posted - June 30 2008 : 12:24:24 PM Fitzhugh Vous parlez francais, monsieur? I have just found Curtis Gaston's flickr site. The pictures are good and I wish I had made it home with my camera so I could post the photographs I took on the set as well. James As to the difference between eastern woodlands and great plains, I am familiar with both, although I am more familiar with iroquois tribes. Thanks for posting so many photographs. Curtis The pictures are good on your flickr site, and I wish I had made it home with my camera so I could post the photographs I took on the set as well. Wanda alwyneth@comcast.net

James N.	Posted - June 23 2008 : 4:28:14 PM Wanda, Only the horses that are in my "album" that you saw. All the photos I took except for a few near duplicates are posted there. The main photos with horses were the mounts of Cora, Alice, Heyward, and Col. Munro. Onscreen I stood very near the mounts of the French officers Montcalm, Levis, and Bouganville in the "Surrender of the Fort" scene. In expecting large numbers of horses, you've seen too many old Hollywood Westerns, where they can't tell the difference between the Eastern Woodlands and the Great Plains, since all of them were filmed in California anyway! I can't recall ANY cavalry in any of the English or French forces in the French & Indian War. Horses were officers' mounts, beasts of burden, and prime movers. The Indians seem to have used them hardly at all.
alwyneth	Posted - June 19 2008 : 11:37:11 PM James Yes I was amazed that you sent the link and the picture was found there immediately. There were so many people in massacre valley, several thousand. Did you get any pictures of the few horses on the set? At first I thought there would be lots of horses in the the scenes. Wanda alwyneth@comcast.net
James N.	Posted - June 15 2008 : 8:57:34 PM Wanda, So glad you were able to locate yourself amid the crowd; the goats were probably why I took that picture in the first place! If you look at other of my pictures, I managed to photograph several of the more unusal "livestock" used in the film: in addition to the goats and sheep in Massacre Valley, there was the really strange-looking English or Irish wolfhound in the Albany scene. I really wish I'd taken one of the yoke of oxen in the French camp, though! Glad I was able to be of some help!
alwyneth	Posted - June 09 2008 : 11:14:45 AM James Neel Thank you so much for directing me to your post. I do see familiar faces, and I am in one of the photographs! It is labeled JN_001(41).jpg. I am the girl with the very long braid in the photograph. This photo is posted in the Massacre Valley Part 2 section in the lower right hand corner of the screen. I took turns with others tending the goats for scenes like this one. So you have indeed found my location in the thousands of people on the Massacre Valley set. I am still hoping someone will have a picture of me facing the camera! Sincerely, Wanda Meadows alwyneth@comcast.net /JN_001 (41).jpg
James N.	Posted - June 08 2008 : 2:44:34 PM http://www.mohicanpress.com/jim_neels_mohicanland_2.html Wanda, Here's the link for the 2d page of my account of filming which includes the photos I took in Massacre Valley. Even if you don't see yourself, maybe you'll see others you recognize. Good luck!
alwyneth	Posted - June 05 2008 : 10:56:27 AM Rich Thanks so much to directing me to this whole photo section directly. There are so many good photos online. I found several of people whom I was positioned close to during the filming. Wanda alwyneth@comcast.net
richfed	Posted - June 04 2008 : 6:19:13 PM Hey Wanda -- I don't think that the Director's Cut version that is out on DVD has any different scenes from the Massacre Valley filming, but, we do have hundreds of stills on this web site. Not sure if any will help, but you could start by looking here: LOTM Photo Galleries Good luck!
alwyneth	Posted - June 04 2008 : 4:42:51 PM Part of the cast, choreographed and did a stunt, which shows on screen for just a few seconds. I have not looked at the entire site so far and I have checked with Rich. I know that in the director's cut additional moving footage was eventually added. I am looking for the awards footage because my recollection is that a different camera angle was used. I ran into one of the cast members on another film set and saw all of his still pictures but did not get a copy of any of them. I am wanting to add a still or a few seconds to a promo piece for a film school class. alwyneth@comcast.net
Wilderness Woman	Posted - June 04 2008 : 12:38:06 PM Wanda, Did you have a part in the movie, or did you work on the crew? Have you checked around this whole website thoroughly? There are a lot of still photos of cast and crew that have been placed here by Rich.
Michelle	Posted - June 03 2008 : 7:12:16 PM Hi Wanda, How are you ? I do know there are stills of the film,on the internet -not sure which sites-as i have also tryed looking for footage of the film stills-and they were not easy to find-you have to do a realy detailed search-unless someone on here knows of certain link-to go to.I am sorry for your loss there-this must be so frustrating-having all that amazing footage-what was your job on the set,all the best there Wanda.I would love to see the vhs footage of the academy award nomination of Last of the Mohicans,let us all know if you do find this amazing footage also-please... The petitioning to have specific scenes included in the directors cut-well lets get the ball rollling-im sure plenty of us would support your petition-im all for it definately Wanda,its about time-we got to see them deleted scenes...Please-Director-Mr MANN
