It's fascinating to see how much time and energy is expended on filming a television show. Yesterday, crews invaded our neighborhood to shoot a segment for the TV show "Hack." I'd be willing to bet that for the entire day's work, they'll reap *maybe* a minute of completed footage.Same thing with the film "Unbreakable." Crews were on our street for almost two weeks filming in a vacant restaurant around the corner. (Former tenant couldn't afford the rent.) In the movie, the comic book shop "Limited Edition" was that restaurant. For all that work, there's so little footage that actually made it to the screen. No wonder they're so expensive to produce: all the people... all the trucks... all the gear... all the permits... all the cops... wow.
