Is that Tyler Perry way in the back?

Darren writes in with a report and some pics from a wild and crazy day of filming at The Grange.

About 3 times as many people and stuff showed up then what I expected for the 1.5 minute scene at the pub! Amazing as 5 people have speaking parts it means they shoot the scene 5 times with at least 5 different angles!

All very professional and amazingly fast at setting up – the slow downs were the lighting and artistic guys getting the shots the way they wanted them. That was Tyler Perry’s black RV by the dumpsters. The other cast were bussed in from nearby hotels.

We’ll be back open on Wednesday.

A few more pics after the jump…

      Rus reported yesterday that J.J. was a no go, so I guess not.

    I helped coordinate the filming of a TV show at a factory owned by my previous employer… they totally get you by WAY under-explaining the number of people who will be on hand for filming. For this less than 30 minute reality TV segment, we probably had about 100 people on set.

    Looks to me like that is Elliot Boswell (formerly of the Boswell Gallery) in the yellow shirt in the first picture.
