Short Creek (Kentucky)
Short Creek is a substantial but very short watercourse in Pulaski County in the U.S. state of Kentucky. The water, in volume equivalent to a large creek or small river, flows out of a cave, runs for through the sunlight, and then vanishes into another cave. The feature is located at the bottom of a hill hollow below the unincorporated community of Stab, Kentucky. The nearest town of size is Somerset, Kentucky. The mouth of the stream is located at coordinates 37.14897, -84.43855. Geology Short Creek is described by the Kentucky Geological Survey as a karst window, a short section of watercourse, formerly geologically underground, that has been exposed by the erosion or other removal of the sedimentary deposits above it. The Kentucky Film Office characterizes Short Creek as a colorful geological feature of the state, and encourages film crews to consider it for location shooting Location shooting is the shooting of a film or television production in a real-world setting ra ...

Kentucky Geological Survey
The Kentucky Geological Survey (KGS) is a research center of the University of Kentucky that provides information on the geology of Kentucky, but has variously over the course of its history been a state level office, or a sub-division of a state combined geology and forestry department, at times its official State Geologist being prohibited by law from being associated with the University of Kentucky. It is one of the United States's oldest geological organizations, pre-dating the United States Geological Survey by 25 years. It has worked with the USGS in several joint mapping programs, and because of one such program from 1949 to 1956 Kentucky became the first state of the United States to be fully topographically mapped at a scale of 1:24,000, which was then extended in a project run from 1960 to 1978 to have the whole of Kentucky geologically mapped at 1:24,000 scale, at a cost of and involving an estimated 660 person-years. Its published reports are collected into several s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Karst Window
A karst window, also known as a karst fenster, is a geomorphic feature found in karst landscapes where an underground river is visible from the surface within a sinkhole. In this feature, a spring emerges, then the discharge abruptly disappears into a sinkhole. The word ''fenster'' is German for 'window', as these features are windows into the karst landscape. The term is used to denote an unroofed portion of a cavern which reveals part of a subterranean river. A complex system of caves, known as karst topography, evolves from the effects of water erosion on carbonate rocks such as limestone, dolomite or gypsum. "A karst fenster is caused by a caving in of portions of the roof of a subterranean stream, thus making some of the underground stream visible from the surface".*Ritter, Michael E. The Physical Environment: an Introduction to Physical Geography. 2006. Dec 2009. Theories in the creation of karst topography and karst fensters involve vadose water above the water table, and d ...

Location Shooting
Location shooting is the shooting of a film or television production in a real-world setting rather than a sound stage or backlot. The location may be interior or exterior. When filmmaking professionals refer to shooting "on location", they are usually referring to a "practical location", which is any location that already exists in the real world. The filming location may be the same in which the story is set (for example, scenes in the film ''The Interpreter (2005 film), The Interpreter'' were set and shot inside the Headquarters of the United Nations, United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan), or it may stand in for a different locale (the films ''Amadeus (film), Amadeus'' and ''The Illusionist (2006 film), The Illusionist'' were primarily set in Vienna, but were filmed in Prague). Location shooting includes any practical location which resembles the location of a scene in the script; for example, students in the USC School of Cinematic Arts, film school of the University of ...
