Newest unofficial director of CSI


\






One of the best things about LA is you never know when you will walk into a film crew. I happened to be in LA this weekend with my parents, when we were walking back to the hotel from the fashion district my Mom pointed out they were starting to film something. We started to walk close and my Dad being as savoy as he is was able to walk up and talk to some of the crew. We found out they were starting to film CSI. I'm not a be fan in fact I've never have seen a show. I just wanted to get a quick picture of their set. I thought it was pretty funny with the NYPD cars and NYC taxi's on the street. They also had street signs up for snow routes and subway stops. I was trying to dig out my camera and this guy came up to me and said "I know a thing or two about cameras, let me take some pictures with you in them. Anyways he moved the camera guy out of his seat and had me sit and look through the lens. After that Mr. Flirty told us to come back between 9 and 11PM they were filming a rain shot and it was going to be really cool. So we went back and sure enough they were getting ready to film again. By the way CSI NY and CSI Miami are all filmed in LA. All those people and buildings in the background are not what they seam. We watch them hose down the sidewalk with a fire hose then they had this huge crain with a sprinkler system attached ready to let "rain fall". That same guy Mr. Flirty found us again and said he had a better place for us to watch. He took us around the corner where all the directors were and said we were his friends and got to watching it on the monitors. It was kind of cool to see the behind the sceens.
