From the short hair I presume this scene takes place after Patience Price's near-death experience. She goes back to the house again, at dusk, and this time she "storms" (haha - X-Men pun!) up to the house obviously upset about something. |

Okay.. this might be flame bait but hear me out
Date: 2003-09-30 09:53 am (UTC)You detest it when some fucker walks into your frame and ruins the shot. You line up the photo , you adjust the zoom , and the apeture you adust the shutter speed and wait until the right moment .. and then some fucker thinks its his "right" to walk in front of you. You invested a LOT to get this shot , camera, time , money - now it is ruined
Yes a film set is a little disruptive, but so is a traffic , construction , concert lineups , crowds , screaming kids , fireworks
The difference is that the film crew paid the city for the privilage - so blame the city hall
The difference is that the film crew is employing local people
and putting a huge chunk of change in the economy
The difference is that the film crew is promoting the city for future films, MOW, PSA, or Series.
The difference is that the film crew is creating a work of art
(to a degree) .. it is in the process of creation , not destruction.
When I cycle around the seawall , I respect that people taking pictures don't want my stupid face in them so I don't cross the frame.
But when I was filming eQUILIBRUM (www.darkdance.org/~ryan)
every fucker and their mother thought it was their mission in life to deliberately fuck up my shot , walk in front of my camera, or generally give me shit for having a camera in my hand
and daring to actual hit the REC
"If you DON'T want me to take your soul DON'T walk in front of the camera"
So that is why these crews PAY the city so they can block off streets. They wouldn't have to if everyone didn't think it chic
to sabotage the filming. They wouldn't have to if everyone thought that they were entitled to 40% of the film budget becasue their blurry left leg was on screen in the R/P for
2 seconds.
Personally , I don't think destroying art , or disrupting someone elses thing is cool. Even if they have more money or equipment than you do
Anyway thats my $0.02
