There's always a lot of movie/TV shoots going on at UCLA during the summertime. I just happened to have my camera out with me at lunch today. This was taken from a *long* way away with my 70-200.

Here's their setup:

James Woods, shooting "The Shark" coming up this season? I had no idea, but that's what my husband says. I never can remember actors names, lol.

Check out the light reflector and diffusers they use.

WOW!! Those are the cat's meow!!

Now, I just have to find a crew of helpers to carry and move this gear around.

The actor is James Woods.

Thanks, guys... It was definitely very interesting to watch. There must have been 100 extras or so. The scene is a fairly big plaza, and when they called action, everyone started moving like there were on a choreographed mission. Definitely a lot of work for what seemed to be only a 30-60 second shot....

Ahh.... the memories. I remember having to walk around the shoots and having buildings closed on me.

I lived right across the street the campus and every summer, and especially during winter break, the street parking is taken over by trailers.
