The film company is out in public, right? Probably can do it, provided they are using it as nothing more than a general backdrop and have a permit to be out there.

Yep the point is that the film company is shooting from publicly owned areas like the sidewalk or the street. The mall is a different because it is private property.

To shoot on public property for a commercial project, you need a permit.

At least now we know who those commercials are for...

I'm under the impression that you can photograph people without model releases as long as the pictures don't end up in an advertisement. Someone will prob chime in if I'm wrong here, lots of lawyers.
So make sure you are easily identifiable in the shots and refuse to sign a release.
Might work.

No shit....all I need is a permit to shoot on public property. Is that true only where you live or can I do that in California also?

Hmmm, I remember from my Miami Vice watching days that an import export company was always the code word for some drug house that took in shipments of cocaine from Colombia.

I was fucking with some people that saw me pull up to a club in my Viper once. They asked what I did for a living and I said I owned a small import-export company. They all yelled "you sell drugs don't you!!!"

I really had them going. Told them I was an ecstasy dealer. [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img] They believed me.
