August 2000, East Stroudsburg

Cinemachine begins to film Frank and his family. They finally begin to capture the images they've been waiting to shoot for over a year.

Two weeks are spent on the Frazetta Estate as Cinemachine accumulates enough footage for 10 documentaries. Many of this extra footage will appear on the DVD release.

Some of what is captured on camera while at Frank's Estate includes:
- Frank working in his studio both painting and drawing. Cinemachine captures him on two separate occasions drawing a dinosaur and a panther from beginning to end...left handed. The painting he was working on while on camera is "A Requiem for Sharks."
- Frank in the Museum walking from painting to painting, discussing each one.
- Sit down interview with Frank in the living room of his home.
- Interviews with his kids Frank Jr., Bill, and Heidi. Holly's interview would take place at a later date.

August 2000, Brooklyn

Cinemachine took Frank on a day trip back to Brooklyn where he spent his childhood. While there, Frank did the following:

- Had lunch at the renowned restaurant "Lundy Brothers" with his longtime friends Nick Meglin and Angelo Torres. The three of them also spent time revisiting the parks where they used to play baseball all day long.
- Visited his Mother who still lives in the house in which he was raised. His sister was also visiting at the same time.
- Walked on the ballfield at Lincoln High, site of the infamous Frazetta baseball toss.
- Terrorized stuffed animals and tin cans at a shooting gallery on Coney Island.

The two weeks we spent filming in August turned out to be a very successful shoot, and the crew had a blast spending time with Frank (though Frank was beginning to tire of the whole process by the second week...no privacy with the cameras constantly in his face).

The crew would dine with Frank almost every evening, either at the China Buffet (one of his favorite hangouts) or else Ellie would cook a wonderful meal for us all.

Speaking of Ellie, despite repeated requests and downright pleading, she would not go before the camera. This is rather unfortunate, as Ellie would have made for an engaging interview.

October 2000, East Stroudsburg

Lance returns to the Frazetta Estate to capture the beautiful colors of the Fall. As a bonus, Ralph Bakshi drives down from New York for an interview. He goes solo for the first 45 minutes before being joined by Frank for an additional 45. Lance returns to Los Angeles and begins post-production.

June 2001, New York City

Cinemachine takes a day trip into New York City to visit with Andrew Steven, who maintains one of the largest personal collections of Frank's published works. They photograph as many of the rare collectibles as possible.

July 2001, Los Angeles

Tremendous news to announce. Lance meets with famous Hollywood composer Basil Poledouris (the man behind the score for "Conan the Barbarian") at his Blowtorch Flats studio in Venice, CA.
