We must do a practice at a crossing with no people first or a flat area to get the timing on the mark.
We can do a to-scale practice at Mt. Davis to check the camera angles and simulation.Are people still serious about this cuz it really is crazy! I think that the actual 'battle' shouldn't take more than a few seconds. Any longer and it's going to go bad. The initial shock the crowd gets will fade and I think we should do that before it happens.
We're going to get away clean from this... we better else the consequences are dire Additional points: - Timing of the Green light. The movie should not take longer than for the green light to start flickering. - Someone measure the distance (roughly in steps) from one side to the other of the crossing so we can recreate the distance at mt davis. - Instead of shields and plastic toys, we can use wooden kendo practice swords. Might look too triad like... - Coordinate every move in the battle to prevent actual accidents and civilian damage. So every clash and blow is scripted and so we know how long exactly it'll take. - Remember, this is an 'AMATEUR MOVIE' we're taking so in case anyone is caught... erm... the planners are going to be responsible :S - And I don't recommend having actual names show in the youtube vid with faces mosaic-ed out cuz man.... if this is a crime, we're screwed. - Someone check the HK filming laws yet?

HK Law on Filming in Civic Centres (enter "ment" at the end of the link.

sry ppl, Uncle says No-Can-Do...
twould disrupt traffic and business too much. He said if you chose a less crowded locale then it would be possible. But places like SOGO crossing has too many possiblities for accidents and disruptions.
However, if you can somehow ask the Managers of Time Square to allow you, then you can film it over there! As the land around timesquare, including the road around it, belongs to the Management of Times Square themselves!!
If indeed you wish to do so, then I'm gonna have to tell my uncle the planned changes asap...
otherwise, he recommends you guys not to try it at all.
