just around the corner from where i photographed the friendly cop and
the yellow cabs in part 9. i bumped into a group of people on the streets
who were shooting a pilot episode for a new nbc tv programme called 'smash'
you can read about it here:
i stood by and watched them shoot the same scene over and over and over again.
a girl ( katharine mcphee, a former american idol contestant ) comes out of the subway
singing, turns and walks away singing to herself.
everybody in my photos is an extra. the people follow her out of the subway in the same
order each take. others move around and take photos of each other like tourists
or go about their business like normal new yorkers.
here are 3 shots from the filming, though they are from 3 different takes
girl comes up out of subway...
she's singing to herself...
she turns and walks away...
and that's about it.
after about 10 takes katharine came over to have a butchers at one of the monitiors
and see how it looked on tape.
everybody seemed to be happy with what they'd shot
hug for the talent
then they packed away the gear and moved off to another location.
do you think we'll ever see 'smash' on telly here in the uk ?
