Industry Film Crew

This is an example of an filming crew in an industrial context (filming for an advert on Glasslyn Road N8, 28/01/10).

As you can see they have masses of personnel and equipment, with roughly 30 people in or outside the house, and 5 large van-loads of equipment. Obviously, we only have a camera, a light, and and mic plus whatever else we can get our hands on, and a production team of 3, so filming all of our sequence in 2 days will be a real challenge for us.

There have been 2 or 3 other instances in the past year or so when film crews have been to shoot on this road, and many films have used nearby roads as locations, such as Shaun's house in  Shaun of the Dead and the driving instruction scenes in Happy Go Lucky.

Its kind of cool to think that houses and streets very similar to the one we are using for our shoot are used by the advertising, television and film industries.
