“Fringe” follow-up

They were still filming at 2am.
They were still filming at 3am.
Around 3:30am, they decided to film the screeching car getaway scene, where the wheels squeal and then the vehicle hits a barrier.
I don’t think they finished until well after 4:30am, but not before PUTTING THE STREET SIGNS BACK THE WRONG WAY, which is going to cause an accident (yes, we’ve called everyone relevant about this already).

They did not start filming in the residential area until 11am, but they were filming down in the building supply place near the MTA mobile wash unit on Calyer & West St. NO ONE LIVES THERE. Why on earth did they not film in the residential area early in the evening, and THEN go film from midnight onward in the location where NO ONE LIVES (Sorry, folks on Oak St., I know you’re there, but you would have been far enough away to not have been impacted).

Calls are being made, letters are being written.

Filming in Greenpoint: Fringe

It’s 2am. This is a view out my window.

For the first couple of hours it was kinda neat. Now it’s like going to sleep in the middle of the day.

To their credit, they posted the NO PARKING signs a week in advance. However, they took a tremendous amount of parking for THE ENTIRE DAY but didn’t start filming until well after dark. Ann Kansfield at the Greenpoint Memorial Church had a similar problem on Milton St., where they were yesterday.

I hope someone in the neighborhood profited from this production.
