Locations...

I haven't pulled any permits in SoCal yet...lucky, I guess. The worst thing that happened on a shoot was when we were shooting by the Metrolink. We were shooting a short with no permits when the county sheriff showed up. Apparently, the engineer from the train had called it in. They questioned us and we told them we were PSA for the local college. They warned us to steer clear of the tracks and took our names and addresses. As we were packing up two city cop cars showed up... it was time to get out of there.:shocked: But we got the shot and that's the last we heard of it. We had the camera on sticks, a boom operator and two actors in costume. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)
 
Sweeet--

You know? I've never shot a single thing in my life, other than toying around with my old Panasonic camera... nothing real. I hope I don't run into problems trying to shoot for the hero fest.
 
My friend went and shot his short project for school on train tracks in Santa Clarita. Generally out here in the outskirts of LA county they're pretty cool. Except my friend Daniel shot a short when he was like 14. He shot at the mall in Santa Clarita, and almost got thrown out. LOL!
 
I'll be shooting in LA/Santa Monica, and probably back in Orange County as well-- because those are the only places I know my way around. =P

Funny talking about locations and I haven't even secured the first word of a written script, yet.
 
I was helping a friend shoot a doc on karaoke in just about every bar at the beach. We had permission from the owners to film and got signed releases from every person we filmed. Some we filmed and I had to convince to sign releases for us to use the footage. But in one bar, a very IRISH bar, we had been given permission by someone who was apparently NOT the owner...so when the REAL owner showed up (a very I-MEAN-TO-BREAK-YOUR-BONES-RIGHT-AFTER-I-BREAK-YOUR-CAMERA type guy) I could see it coming. My partner handed me the camera when we saw this guy taking aim and heading in our direction. I turned my back to him, snatched the tape outta the camera and slipped it down my shirt, packed up the gear and made for my car. THEN I went back for my partner. hahaha!!!!!
