More Cameras at the Hospital


So they started filming a television pilot in the Hospital today. The show's called "Drift" starring Jason O'Mara and Chazz Palminteri. Supposedly it's gonna air on ABC and be a story about a New York City detective suffering from insomnia and a loss of long-term memory.
I got a picture of the set in the sidebar at "your brain is made of candy".
New York City is used for alot of films and television shows. If you walk on the street and come across a production, usually the crew are willing to tell you what they're shooting, but they won't let you interfere with the shoot. Sometimes the crew can get a little grumpy because they have to field questions all day from star-struck tourists and sh*t. If that's the case you can always get the info about the shoot from one of the many cars or vans that are parked around the set.
Any car or van parked on the street that is involved with the shoot must have a placard in the window detailing the company and film/show name and other pertinent information. Sometimes you can get lucky and even see a call sheet in the window that will list the actors needed for the shoot and the shoot time.
