Movie Sets

I'm not too busy at work today so I thought I would post something else. I love movies and all that Hollywood stuff so one thing I like about Atlanta is running into movie sets. Last year was exciting because they were filming "We Are Marshall" all around Atlanta. That was fun because Matthew McConaughey and Matthew Fox were staying in the same town as me...nevermind there are millions of people in Atlanta but it was still special to me :). Anyways, I ran into that set several time, here in Downtown where I work, a couple of blocks from my old apartment and it was always neat to see all the equipment and people on a movie set. Also since I work Downtown right in the heart of the city I have seen several shoots where they are filming people in a cab so they have the cab on the back of a truck with all the lighting and equipment and they get a police escort right down Peachtree Street. Well yesterday I pulled into my street and was complaining about all the construction going on, turns out it wasn't construction yesterday it was a movie set in the townhouses right across from me. I got all excited and ran in to get Dozer so I could walk over. I told Dozer to look his best because maybe they needed a bulldog for their film. Me, Josh and Dozer walked over there and didn't see much, turns out I think it might have been a music video set but it was still neat to see that going on right outside my door. Well that was my excitement for the week!!!
