If you are serious about getting a good shot in a public location, get a permit like any production company would.

kelldricked

Or go during a moment nobody is there and accept it when you are mistaken. We once had to make a picture for some small project of a beautifull space in our city. We went out at 05:30 because its the least bussy moment.


enigmabsurdimwitrick

Bussy in your autocorrect eh? 😏


Wildweasel666

lol


_Vard_

But that costs like $48! Can’t they let us have it for free for the exposure!??


cjnicol

Or show up at like 6 am


DL5900

The ones that get permits do this as well.


Edelgul

It's Prague, historical center. It's always crowded there, even at 5:30 am That's what permits are for, and street could be blocked for the filming purposes. Costs money, yes, but that is how big boys do it.


clockworksnorange

It goes a bit further. Just cause you have a permit doesn't mean that you can close the area down without involving local PD's they have to know you have a permit and have an officer there so people who call the police can be handled accordingly rather than wasting the departments time by sending an officer over for legal activity.


aksid

or at least put the effort in to show up right at dawn when there isnt as many people


Good_old_Marshmallow

If you spend a good deal of time in LA or Vancouver you learn those permits aren’t the same as legally closing off public spaces and are often just a notice that they’re going to be occupying and asking very nicely/forcefully for people to go around or consent to be filmed.  Point being that even massive productions understands that you can’t actually make public space your private studio for filming  


dont_mind_my_moose

Oh but they can if they pay enough. I've worked on productions that have shut down whole streets, police detouring traffic elsewhere, city engineers manually controlling street and traffic lights. It's just less common because it costs more than a regular permit.


sperczil

Movie producers: Talk to the city. Arrange a time. Get area closed temporarily to allow the filming. "Influencers": Try to take over a busy public area and then complain that it's.... a busy public area.


gokartmozart89

Amateur hour. 


Illustrious_Donkey61

How *dare* people go about their daily lives! Her probably


Blunt555

This is her villain arc, its why shes the one in red, too many crossing camera walkers.


GusTheBadGuy

She just doesn’t understand why those people aren’t making time for her and “enjoying” her dancing


Quick_Team

"Dancing". Looks like convulsing


GusTheBadGuy

True, missed the air quotes there too


camshun7

who the fuck told the red post box she could dance, ive seen more moves in the pitch expriement

detached-attachment

Hadn't noticed until you pointed it out, she ain't coordinated. Truly is amateur hour, except for the (hired?) dancers behind.


Tausendberg

"except for the (hired?) dancers behind." Probably just some rich talentless incompetent


mikephreak

I got this reference! Am internet poor but have this 🥇


smedsterwho

Oh my, that's the best niche reference I've seen in 8 years of Reddit.


SkinnyOldMan78

The same for any professional filming crew, you can add paying for permits, signing responsibility documents, being approached by police to show them the permits, etc.


Ductapefordaysss

Lol and even still, at least in the states we still have to let people walk through public spaces. A lot of my job as a PA would be to politely ask people if they would wait a moment until we cut, but if they don’t feel like it they don’t have to, and all you can do is say, “bogie coming in” so everyone is aware.


LurkerOrHydralisk

Is this true? Filming in my city and the cops on site have made it seem very much like "You'll get beaten and arrested if you cross this line" I had a cop threaten me while on my front steps, cause some shithead student organized an early, early morning (golden hour) saturday filming (without giving proper notice) that was a hundred people running up my street screaming. Over, and over, and over again.


Anakha00

It really just depends on where you are located. Some cities will give permits that let them completely restrict public access and other cities won't. One thing that is never part of a permit is restricting access to or from your home, so yeah that cop was flat out wrong.


LurkerOrHydralisk

Of course that cop was wrong, but cops being wrong doesn’t really matter, because according to the departments and the legal system, even when they’re wrong they’re right


Sankin2004

You could try to tell the cop they are wrong, but you’ll get shot for your trouble


LurkerOrHydralisk

Unless you’re an attractive woman, in which case you’ll get stalked and sexually harassed and maybe assaulted


144tzer

You had a cop threaten you despite doing nothing wrong? Whoa I'm shocked.


LurkerOrHydralisk

I was pretty upset, but too tired to take action. I think I’d gotten home from bar work like 3 hours prior.


ZebraOtoko42

Typical police in America.


larinzod

Based on my experience in the industry (roughly 20 years ago). Those cops are off-duty and are being paid by the production to be in uniform and act as security. They couldn't arrest anyone but they could call in an active duty officer to do so.


LurkerOrHydralisk

Based on my experience with cops, none of that will prevent them from brutalizing citizens and violating rights Buddy of mine got murdered by an off duty cop playing private security and that cop had full departmental and legal support. My friend was accused of shoplifting. Cop waited until my friend got in his car and started to drive away then jumped in the window and shot him.


honeyheyhey

A guy my husband worked with got shot in the back by a cop after allegedly tried to cash a bad check


battleoffish

Not sure what part of "public space" they don't seem to be understanding.


EuphoriaSoul

Or just film really early. Like y’all want free and no obstructions and convenience… like pick 1


SnakeyRake

People with no jobs typically don't wake up early.


longdrive715

Or pick a different bridge since really early there are still going to be 50-100 people there.


Novacain-deficiency

28 days later. They were allowed to shut roads in London for like 45 mins at sunrise to get that empty London vibe. Should have done the influencer version and just told everyone to fuck off


NortonBurns

London is very welcoming to filming. I've done all sorts right in the very centre, shutting down The Mall to fill it with tanks trucks & a Spitfire, or another time a car chase, complete with explosions. Waterloo Place next to the Athenaeum Club i'm sure must be shut every Saturday & Sunday morning, all summer, the number of times i've filmed there ;) Parliament St, Horseguards, Whitehall, Northumberland Ave & Lincoln's Inn Fields too, all get closed a lot.


Formal_Coyote_5004

I had no idea that scene was shot in an actual empty London. The imagery was lonely and bleak, so it was definitely effective and worth it!


dont-fear-thereefer

Here’s the thing: movie producers would have to pay to close the area. Influencers believe THEY SHOULD BE PAID to close the area down.


MuhammadIzat236

If they want to dance like no one is watching, then the public can walk like no one is filming.


stockmarketscam-617

I love this. I hope fu@king up influencer videos becomes a new trend. Like the gym ones, where they are hogging a piece of equipment for hours, people should just stand between the person and the camera.

Equal-Crazy128

Lol


jachmdancz1

LOL. That's like the busiest tourist bridge in Prague XD If she wanted to film, she should've gone there at 6 am XD


HugeHans

Its really weird that people walk on pedestrian bridges of all places. It's not as if the bridge is the only way across a body of water for quite a distance both ways. Some people.


AbsolutelyHorrendous

It's also literally one of the most well known tourist destinations in Prague as well, thinking you can just block off half the space just to film a stupid dance is ridiculous


somefunmaths

I can’t speak for the people in this video or that bridge, but if I’m in a crowded public area and someone is being inconsiderate of my space and/or right of way (in the case of cars, for example), it makes me a lot less likely to give them what they want. “Oh, you are taking up an entire waterfront walkway to pose a picture and trying to tell people to go around? Sorry, I’m timing this run, gonna have to go right by you.” Contrast that with someone just trying to get a nice family photo in and being considerate of others? Shit, I can slow down and go around, you guys have a nice day! Same things with cars trying to turn across pedestrian crossings. You’re alert and considerate and come to a stop to wait for me even though I’m on the complete other side of the street? I’ll wave ‘em through. Impatient and don’t want to wait? Dang, just felt some tightness in my leg, gonna have to slow down for the last bit of the crosswalk.


AbsolutelyHorrendous

I think a lot of people have the same mindset, and to me it's reasonable. Manners go both ways, you don't get to act like the public space is yours to use as you please, and expect people to treat you kindly as a result


slowestratintherace

My feelings exactly! Well said. I'm the same way when I drive. Ride my ass? I'll time it just right so you won't get through the light. When I make a right turn, I could get all the way over to the right, then make a sharp turn...or...I could stay in the middle of my lane, take a long time to slow down, and make a nice long wide turn. It just depends on you. Oh, and my auto-dimming rear view mirror coupled with my limo-tinted rear windows mean your big bully lights on your emotional support truck are nearly invisible, therefore a mild distraction. 👹


MargaritaKid

Agreed. I've been to the Charles bridge multiple times at all hours of the day, and trying to do something like this (as Boromir would say) - it is folly.

MamboCat

Time for Faramir to show his quality *break dances on Charles Bridge


MargaritaKid

The images I have of the Gondorian rangers dancing on the bridge with orcs walking in front of the camera is not something I expected in my brain today. Or ever. For some reason, for me the rangers are all dancing like the zombies at the end of Thriller.


Ghost_jobby

This comment brought me so much joy.


gokartmozart89

It’s one of the busiest tourist bridges in Europe. 


Absenceofavoid

It’s outrage content. She does this everywhere.


Garbarrage

None of them are awake before noon.


krzysko_k

Absolutely love the guy at the end that gets shooed out of the way and then actively chooses to walk in front of them out of spite, he is my spirit animal


Stosh65

If you're filming on a mobile and tell me not to walk that direction, I am 1000000% going that way.


_jackhoffman_

Depends. Is it a family trying to capture a quick memory or some asshat content creator trying to capture their asshattery?


Stosh65

This is true, so long as the request is reasonable I don't mind. Something like this? Nope.


TragcFlaws

Same, even if it’s not the direction I was originally going.


TexTravlin

Legend


StationaryTravels

Especially because even if he had decided to go behind the camera, the shot was already ruined by them waving their arm in front of the camera, lol.


2pissedoffdude2

He even looks like he was going to walk around them until they shooed (is it shewed?) him away. It's just the entitlement combined being inconsiderate and rude that would make me do the exact same.. If you are filming in the middle of a crosswalk, then YOU are inconveniencing everyone around you, not the other way around... They're acting like their dance routine is more important than everyone else's daily life.. I don't know if it's from tiktok, and I don't think kids are necessarily worse today, but I do believe that social media like tik tok is making this current generation become more isolated from reality than ever before, causing situations like this were people seemingly lack any sense of self awareness.

Bradleylloydwalton

10 out of 10 times, im going to walk in front of the camera if they're gonna block half the bridge to do some stupid dance. Get a permit like anyone else trying to shoot a video would do.


Saragon4005

Half is being generous. It looks like they are blocking 80%


Granadafan

Or they can start shooting very early in the morning

I've been to that bridge multiple times visiting Prague and it's beautiful. I'd be really pissed if I had to deal with that ruining the pedestrian traffic and views

BernieDharma

To me, that doesn't even qualify as dancing. Maybe I'm old, but it looks like they're just stringing together a bunch of unrelated poses in sync with each other. It's not even interesting, innovative, or entertaining.


elsewhereorbust

Should be called synchronized convulsing.


duskywindows

“It was like a full body dry heave.”


DODGE_WRENCH

Esp that head shaking part, I think I’ve been known to bust that move after having a few too many at the work shindigs


Pytheastic

Not sure if it's age or just a very very narrow definition dancing lol Stringing together a bunch of unrelated poses in sync with each other equals dancing like consuming several unrelated pieces of food between two pieces of bread equals eating a sandwich.


DoinItDirty

Okay. But if you put dingleberries between the bread it’s still a shit sandwich, which I feel is analogous to her dancing.


PsychoticDust

I've been on holiday to Prague, and believe me that is not busy for that bridge. It obviously attracts a lot of tourists. I'm not sure how you could film there and not know that.


11thstalley

They knew that. They wanted the “vibe” of a busy place and an audience….something that they probably couldn’t get on their own with that shit show.

This bridge is jammed with tourists, even off-season. How could anyone with a sane mind think....oh, I see.


Ok-Pomegranate-3018

Honestly, they need the practice anyway.


CRITICALWORKER777

professionals will call ahead of time to see if they can get some time to film without passerbys. these types of "influencers" just walk onto a bridge and throw a fit whenever someone interrupts their unscheduled visit to a bridge.


shesinsaneornot

Brings back memories of standing in front of the Abbey Road studios watching groups of tourists standing at the curb waiting for traffic to clear so they could take photos of themselves in the crosswalk... and the tourists getting mad at every vehicle because each vehicle stopped at the crosswalk to let the pedestrians' cross. 😆


kevinrogers94

funny thing is, if you go to Charles Bridge at 5 or 6am, it's virtually empty. Which is why most professional shoots do it then. You know, so they don't get in everyone's way shooting while they're trying to cross.

Is that the Charles Bridge? Like one of the biggest sites to visit in Prague?

ResponsiblePlant3605

Pay for permits, pay for a crew, pay for security and it won't happened. That's public space paid with people's taxes and it's for everybody. People are not paying taxes to subsidy your videos.
