Life On Location

Despite, or perhaps due to the economy, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn the film industry is moving forward stronger than ever, leading to sometimes bizarre, sometimes profitable situations for locals.

Thanks, man.

Just found out yesterday from my neighbor that everyone in the front of my building got 8 grand to be relocated for the 5 days they needed access to their apartments for this shoot; I was really steaming with jealousy...all I got this time around was footage and a parade going on all day outside!

And the riggers have returned - they're outside right now setting up for round 2 on this movie...endless...

everything's superb in this - the Miss USA float extras, the 'life back to normal' garbage rummage, the banner plan drawing, the way the actors jump too much for that wall at the end (overacting I guess). Sweet film

You should've seen all the other footage from the craft services table I had to drop to make the 2 minute(-ish) limit. With a shoot this big, the free food there runs out quick and people scramble for what they can, locals included...
