Movie magic

We are ending Day 3 of shooting with some shots of the exteriors. For this one (hat shop) the plan was to shoot it with a boy on a bike riding by. I freaked everyone out by asking if we could have a customer entering the shop. (Healthy thriving businesses use Intuit products!).

After a little flurry of protest at the last minute request ("we don't have that kind of extra on hand, no appropriate wardrobe" etc) the movie magic people took over and out of thin air appeared a nicely dressed man, complete with umbrella (our ground was wet by this point.). A customer! Voilà!

See, I am adding value!
