Special Project Videos
While shooting live training fires is what I enjoy best, I am also
called upon to attend other events. Being a videophotogher almost
any event that has action is fun and usually worthy of capture.
As time permits, I edit what I feel would be of interest to others.
Noted below are several Civil War Reenactment videos, which bring
to life history of the past. These are both educational and entertaining
and are suited for all ages.
In addition to my exploits, I have several other videos which were
made by my friend Jim Maloney of Zibi Videos. Jim and I, along with
several other videophotoghers, worked together in capturing Thunder
on the Bay 2002. While temperatures soared on the Mobile, Alabama
coastline during this shoot, it was a lot of fun.
I hope you enjoy watching these videos as much as we did in capturing
the footage. As with all of my videos, ETT has a satisfaction guarantee
policy. Please pass our site location on to your friends.

A
Civil War Reenactment
Item # VBFA-01
Price $15.00
This is the second video in a series of reenactments
for the “Battle of Chehaw” and the “Battle
of Franklin”. The Tallassee, Alabama Armory is the only
Confederate ordinance facility left standing in the entire

of the 2001 reenactment. Approximately 1 ½ hr video.
Shot near the actual battle site, this video
depicts the historical story about the armory and the attempts
to destroy it. Also shown is the raising of the Confederate
flag over the Armory, the first time in over 134 years. This
was followed by an old fashion barn dance and attended by
reenactors and local towns people.

This dramatic, 70-minute program chronicles
the reenactment of the Battle of Mobile Bay where Union Admiral

the ships. Dramatic sea and land battles at Ft. Morgan and
Ft. Gaines and outstanding performances by reenactors (plus
some additional surprises) make this one of the best programs
we've ever produced.
