Paranoid much?

The recent thread on homeland security made me chuckle, because of a shoot I'll be doing in two weeks.

We plan on taking two models, a 2005 Lotus Elise, and driving into a number of gas stations, where the models will get out and pump gas (which we'll pay for!) while two assistants run up with reflectors, I shoot, and one more assistant takes video of the whole thing (we intend to edit the video to make it look a lot more "dangerous" than it really is). The goal is a spontaneous shot of one model pumping the gas looking upset (at the high prices) and the other sitting there looking bored.

The kicker: both models will be in lingerie.

Am I paranoid? Yeah, a little. The first few gas stations that we asked for permission flat-out said no. So we're going Guerilla style and doing an in-and-out in less than 3 minutes. In a way, getting stopped by police/security might be cool, since we're not breaking any laws.

It's one thing to get a visit from homeland security when you're minding your own business. It's another to do something risky. But hey, live on the edge, right? (plus, the client for the shoot is paying well).

    Where should I be and when so I can see this? I spend most of my day driving around the downtown Seattle area between clients so I'm sure I can make a "pit stop" :D

    Nice job at SEAF by the way thumb.gif

    Guerrillas attack gas station

    It was reported earlier today that Guerrillas arriving with two scantily clad young maidens drove dangerously fast into a gas station and crashed into a postal worker who had stopped to pick up a sandwich.

    The ensuing gun battle left two dead Guerrillas and the gas station in flames.
    The young ladies said " It was only a bit of fun, I offered to buy him another ham and pickle sandwich but he just went ape, you know, he went postal "

    A cameraman who was lucky enough to be close to the action with both a stills and video camera is being interviewed by police.




    Breaking news....

    An elderly lady who was filling her empty tank for $2.50 said.

    " I think I saw two fairies fly past just before the station burst into flames, I thought it was the end of the World"
    "The important thing is to just take the picture with the lens you have when the picture happens."

    Thank you - this year SEAF was good to me :):

    I've selected four stations on the Eastside, actually, in Bellevue and Redmond.
