Come see Law & Order SVU tomorrow

New York City is home to a fair number of film shoots. Fortunately, before they take over your neighborhood, they have to put up signs identifying the production. Anyone who wants to watch Law & Order SVU shoot, come to 122nd St in front of my house tomorrow.

The size of the shoots is really astonishing. There are typically anywhere from 10 to 30 vehicles, ranging from star trailers to generator trucks. The canteen is also very prominent, often with signs pointing towards the buffet. I have no idea why filming a show is such a production--neighborhood guys like Maysles do a good job with just a camera. Maybe tomorrow I'll take some pictures of the Law & Order people and all the stuff it takes to film a simple TV show.
