Does anyone in the Auckland area have an old metal gold pan that they would be willing to loan/hire out for a film shoot?
I have been asked if I could supply one for a close up shot of some hands panning for a period film shot.
Let me know if you can help out.
Cheers.

Well, they haven't picked it up yet and i'm sure it's tomorrow they were going to use it, hmmm. Hoping the pan will be used and touched by GOLD as it may be a while before i see any in it.. was actually hoping to tag along with it just for fun but not sure about that one.
Go the GOLD pan.

The story continues.

The call came in thursday night for the GOLD pan to be used so i arranged to drop it off at the local service station to be picked up.
It was to be used for a film regarding the History of the Latter Day Saints. The name of the film, i'm sure, is called "In God We Trust" . Setting the scene of when the early settlers came here and mined for GOLD.
Well this is the second time the pan has been used for demo purposes. The first time was for a window front display at the local Outdoor Shop and this time for a film.
In thanks for it's use i have been given some pennies which they also used for the shoot. Not sure what they are as i'm yet to pick the pan, and pennies, up from the drop off spot. May post a pick of them once i have them.
Famous in NZ, where too next.
