No Bull
Took the metro downtown to the 7th Street station. Went up to street level to see what downtown looks like on the weekend. 7th and Flower. Film crew happened to be there doing a beer commercial. Someone said they had twenty head of buffalo. Well Maybe... I saw at least three and they were impressive. An eighteen wheeler there seemed to be full of them. Cab bright pink. South Dakota plates.
The trainer got a huge buffalo out of the pen and had him do a few tricks. The most impressive was when he laid him down on his side and stood on him. Let me just mention that Buffalo turds are to be avoided.
When I asked what the deal was one of the crew told me: "you've heard of 'the run of the bulls' in Spain? well, this is 'the run of the buffalo'".
There seemed to be several crews working simultaneously--shooting the buffalo stunts and the main shoot: a taxicab with New York plates with a bunch of models strewn over it. After they finished the taxicab shoot, the same models were doing still photography next to some prop posters of uncle sam doing his "we want you" deal.
While shooting the taxicab scene a dude with a bullhorn would yell: "Roll video, roll tape, action", then the actors would clink/clutch their San Miguel beer bottles, smile and high five each other while a bunch of extras strolled by. Everybody was wearing red bandanas in various manners--head scarf, around the neck, etc. Does that make it a Crip or a Blood beer commercial? I suppose Google could give me the answer.
When they were done rehearsing the guy with the bullhorn said: "let's get those bottles looking sexy!" so a guy comes out and mists them. Makeup for beer bottles.
This has been the week of film shoots. Seem to keep running into them in my travels around town. Maybe they're always happening and I just don't get out enough to notice.
