"How to build a guerilla movie set elevator" FOR DUMMIES (the Random House unpublished non-Union elevator construction book version for the lay gullible idiot who believes any of it)
Disclaimer: Before reading this it’s important to note that if you choose to shoot Guerrilla style (without permits) you are doing so at your own risk. Depending on how and where you shoot, you may be subject to fines, fees and other legal complications. Take Jane Public tips below with a grain of salt and know that should you choose to start shooting without permits, any complications that may arise are solely your own responsibility. An important rule to shooting without permits is to have a very attractive decoy to distract any approaching authorities. Example below:
For anyone who isn’t familiar with the term, “guerrilla” shooting essentially means shooting your film in public with no permits and in most cases, no permission from any property owners for that matter. This may sound to some like a completely unprofessional way of shooting (and in some cases like Jane's it very well can never be), but there are some very notable examples of films shot entirely without permits. One of the most famous examples is the Oscar winning masterpiece “The French Connection” which was shot in New York City with a sizeable crew and no location permits whatsoever. And also not one single elevator scene. Alas. bye.
