What a day!

I just got back from the city. I went there to by comics, I picked up a few Image TMNT comics, but on the way home I stumbled upon a film crew! They were on the set of BlackJack Some crime/cop tv show. It was pretty cool! They had all these cameras, lights and equipment, and they were shooting outside an old police building in the alley near Planet Hollywood, and they had two police cars on set. I watched them record the takes of scene 82.

Maybe I should go shopping for comics more often :lol:

Man you're so lucky, they shoot all sorts of stuff down there.
You may not have the new TMNT but you got a heck of alot of film crews shooting movies, and TV shows :)

Wow! I'm pretty jealous.
We had a film crew filming an episode of Tru Calling beside our school but I wasn't there to watch because I had classes. :dead:

[The Lone Turtle]

Cool, Thats why I want to move to Sydney, nothing ever happens here in QLD :P

Wow, stumbling upon a live filming.

Closest thing I can say of a film experience near home was out near Yuma, AZ. It was there they filmed much of the scenes of Jabba's sand barge for Return Of The Jedi...they even blew the thing up out there (I think). Of course this was in 1982, a year before I was born but still I love how they shot a scene from one of my favorite movies near my birthplace. The movie came out the next year, of course, when I was born...I think its neat. :D

I've stumbled onto quite a few shoots for the Goosebumps show back in the day. I'd have stayed and watched had the show not sucked.

I've run into a good lot of tapings in my life (A friend of a friend is the producer of "The Practice", and I've snuck on a fair share of WB backlots in my day) but I was kind of starstruck for the first time in Montana.

I was an intern for an ABC news affiliate in Great Falls, and one afternoon they sent me into the field to interview a small film crew shooting "A Day with Gordy" (Never heard of it? Yeah, neither had I.) downtown. I was crappily dressed, not even 18 yrs old, interviewing Tantoo Cardinal (from Smoke Signals fame) while intermittently borrowing the camera man's jacket (I forgot mine!) and trying to look professional all the while. Damned exciting.

And they never used the footage. *sigh*

the filmed one of the "childeren of the corn" movies right up the right at my moms old school. too bad the school is torn down now though.

i remember riding by and seeing it being filmed. it was cool.
