guerilla filming?

Not always. We still need to have a sellable product in the end. Let me put it this way, guerrilla filmmaking is breaking the industry conventions to get the same product.
In Los Angeles, where it costs like a $1,500 dollars or more to pull a permit and hire the required police officers, guerrilla filming is the ONLY way to do it.
I was thinking of doing something in reguards to camping but without obtaining permission from anyone...the campgrounds I am thinking of are private and one of them is Disney which is really big.
Initially its something I was going to do for just the local tv. Sometimes I don't feel like obtaining all this permission from everything about everything. While I get all of that...and I know the Disney thing is a big no no...
Its something thats been running through my mind. I just don't want to ask permission because I want it to be as real as possible and in real life I wouldn't ask a campground owner if I can film. But its just something swirling in my head right now.

Yea.. seattle is only good enough to shoot "Twighlight" with glittering vampires, and mocha sipping Tom Hanks..
You've never lived in NoVA. Seattle traffic is a breaze, by comparison.
kari, do you plan on making a profit off this film? Do you think you have a reasonable chance of doing so? If so, then you kinda gotta stay on the up-and-up. Or, at least wherever you film guerrilla should be indistinguishable.
But if your making a movie that'll never make it's way into theatrical distribution, I say go guerrilla, and just don't give a shit, if that's what you wanna do. To me, the biggest downside to guerrilla is lack of insurance -- would be really bad if anyone got hurt, so make sure you play everything really safe.
I had the pleasure of driving around the DC-VA about a year ago, and yeah, its pretty bad . . . but Seattle is a slow moving parking lot.

I lived here for 14 years now, have no idea what traffic you re talking about..
Exactly. I5 is a nightmare, which is why you don't go near it, during rush-hour(s). But I can get from Shoreline to downtown in 15-minutes, no matter the time of day, and I do it by taking city streets.
Sorry for the derail. Go guerrilla!!!
