The whole police visit from last week brings back memories of our film shoot (that's right, for the film formerly-known-at-Liars-and-Lunatics).We certainly could have used the police on a few of those days. On one such day, we were in the middle of a scene when suddenly, out of nowhere, came the horrible buzzing of a weed-whacker! (The sound guys were going crazy as it was...)
As it turned out, the lawn care people had decided it was time to cut the grass. Right outside our windows. Now our dilemma was to find a way to get rid of them. Couldn't they come back in a few hours?
Well, we were doing some courtroom scenes. Which meant we had the Bailiff (played by Michael Kricfalusi, who also doubled as our 1st AD) on set that day. Fully dressed in his costume, he was the perfect guy to send...
That certainly did the trick! After all, who would want to cross a six-foot guy like Michael? In a “police” uniform?
Back to the present. We have one question. Where were you, Michael, when we were shooting last week, huh? We could have used your police presence to reassure the jumpy neighbors.
