Although with everything closed, presumably, it would probably be quite frustrating walking around with nowhere to go except maybe the odd supermarket. Maybe Sainsburys on TCR or Tesco in Googe St frinstance. I was taking pictures of the lockdown plus having an nice walk through the backstreets of the west end and mayfair. What *would* be useful at any time, would be the ability to take pictures of streets, buildings, etc. without the intrusive presence of parked cars everywhere. Along with too much street furniture, about which nothing can be done of course. Traffic (and pedestrians) can be largely avoided by starting at 5.a.m. in summer time; although that then presents the problem of having all the trees in full leaf. I'd be very surprised if a number of film companies haven't sent some cameramen out to surreptitiously take some stock footage videos of the empty streets for future films. Yes, very likely. And if any already had sci-fi film or TV projects that could use some clean London backdrops underway, this will have been a golden opportunity. And quite legal because it's not work you can do from home, nor is it in a prohibited business category. I presume that CGI could be used to later splice in the actors and film-related stuff, so the empty streets won't necessarily be empty in the completed film. It could have futuristic self-driving EVs humming through the streets, without the need to erase 2020's parked cars, buses, taxis, etc. Back in the day they could still do a reasonable job. Think of the triple-decker bus running round London in Harry Potter. It's at the studios near Watford now. -- Roland Perry |
