There’s a film crew shooting a commercial at the Spelunking Club today.
From what I’ve seen of location sets, the crews seem to be pretty used to having the run of the place, and not worrying much about anyone else while they’re there. At least, that’s how this crew is acting about the club.
They’ve moved my equipment without asking, or knowing how, which could result in some serious damage. So I gave them hell. They blocked one of the main thoroughfares for club members to get to and from their… uh… caves? Anyway, I gave them hell again. And then I raided the craft services truck.
Abuse out, snacks in. I could get used to this!
I’ve worked on a few film crews in the past…sounds like a pretty standard experience 🙂 Unfortunately, film shoots cost so much money and have to be completed in so short a time (especially commercials) that no one ever takes the time to ask permission for anything. (That’s no excuse, but it is the usual reason.) Gives “shoot first, ask questions later” new meaning!
Its all good when you’ve got snacks!
