You would not beleive what happened today...
I was filming, like I said I was going to.
I'm filming a scene on the side of my street, in the ditch.
I guess I picked a bad time, cuz all of a sudden everyone and their cousin decided to go for a drive.
Had cars coming through every three minutes. So I had to keep starting scenes over.
Cat, the girl who lives down my street (not the Cat you're thinking of, Chele... she's a 12 year old girl)
Cat was watching us. So, she goes into her house for a second. Her parents work for animal control, and for some reason (I guess maybe to listen for dog attacks?) they have a police scanner.
Cat runs back out, helter skelter. Someone's called the cops on us.
They thought my special effects were real.
Now, I've had bad experience with the police here. They scare me. And I firmly beleive they're corrupt as hell.
I grabbed my shit as quick as I could, and told everyone to run like hell to my house.
We got there fine, and finished up the scene in my front lawn.
( I used certain camera angles so you couldn't tell it was a different location)
I know the cops would have done something bad. They would've bitched at us, maybe even pulled their guns if they thought we were actually hurting Curtis.
And they might've bitched about me not having a permit, even though I was filming a few hosues down from mine. And they probably would have taken my camera, just to teach me a lesson or piss me off.
So yeah. We hid. We never saw them come by, and we got no trouble.
Guess I should be flattered. At least that means my special FX look convincing.
