Fresno Famous

great idea

sounds like a really good idea to put out a video like this of fresno graffers getting down. only thing is everyones face should get covered so no one will get burned or caught up. other than that sounds like a great plan.

no public

might be too late since this post was already started and the vid or concept of it has been released to the general public. I'll go with MWB's advise - since your probably already being watched. MWB might be a good contact - shoot, i might hit em up myself.

I say no, at least not to the Fresno public. i would probably go with a larger city first.
Fresno isn't ready for this - i host graffiti & urban art events country wide and my experience in the Fresno area has not been pleasant.

Not sure why the local mainstream is even being considered - perhaps for sales. Thing is, now a days you can deliver successful outcomes with strong urban marketing and underground driven media all through the magic of the net.
I know plenty of underground media sources that do not rely on mainstream media to get by, and they are thriving in the market. If you play the cards right, eventually you will build resources,you will have the mainstream coming after you, and if a major source is involved - the Fresno locals will be dying to support you.

Good luck.
I'll find you on the side lines and maybe we can collab' on something.

Stay Famous,

Good idea

great idea.graffiti should be heard and the ideas of views of it are awsome.BOMB IT!!

sounds like a cool video project officer.

Fresno Graff Video

Our video will be dropping pretty soon. heres a link to the video website http://www.graffintheno.com this video is not related to the first post by junks. but erodd8 get at me with your footage. email me..

Really Bad Idea to Release (See, Fresno Uncensored)

Now, Fresno Uncensored did not have the faces blurred out and those identified were prosecuted. However, the people who put out the production were sued in civil court for injunction and monetary damages.

If this work is put out by a producer, the owners of the buildings and/or property are likely to sue the producers to recoup loss from the damage to the property. They also probably filed insurance claims and police reports to verfiy the timing of the damage, and the anti-grafitti abatement force with FPD took the photo's and can ID the crew by the tags.

I have represented criminal defendants in Fresno for 10 years now. I have handled many tagging cases. If you want to aviod getting a slew of new prosecutions for past acts, do not release this video

i say a cautious yes

i'd be interested, but i'd also be cautious about putting it out. we can all remember how well nitty (sp?) was received with fresno uncensored. remember, graf is generally illegal. it may not be as controversial as a guy selling dope, beating someone up, or showing off a huge gun, but it could have legal implications.

but again, i'd be interested in seeing this sort of movie, and i suspect others would as well.

great ideas...

its sound like a great idea...i have a couple of hours of graff footage myself. i made demo parts to but i still havent fully put it together...who ever has ideas to this movie(including footage) should get togeter and finally finish this movie...
