Ballarat, movie capital of the world :p

Ballarat, movie capital of the world :p

 

At some intersections here in Ballarat we have large ornate lamp poles

(sorry cannot find any pics)

 

I guess somebody thought they looked like European fountains maybe?

 

As I was driving home today the traffic was stopped at one of these intersections, there was a film company filming an advertisement for Ford XR8 utes.

They had built a fake wall halfway around the lamp, put a large tub of water behind the wall then had some people trying to make huge splashes in the water (like they were playing in a fountain)

Just before the camera rolled they used a fire hose (connected to a tanker truck) to drench the road, then they pointed the hose up to make it look like it was raining.

Then a nice blue Ford ute drove past (number plate XR8 UTE) and they turned off the hose.

 

As I drove past the film site there were a couple more Fords, DAVES UTE, KEVS UTE and maybe one more.

 

Something different anyway

That film is gonna suck so hard. Baz Lerhman or however the fuck you spell it, is a hack. Every film he has made has been a big bucket of the brown stuff and this will be no different. So, BFW to it in a big way
