Horror on line has an interview with Andy Hallet who will costar with Amber in her movie. He has nice words about it:
http://www.horroronline.com/globalnav/gnf.pl?url=http%3A//www.horroronline.com/&referrer=http%3A//search.msn.com/spbasic.htm%3FMT%3DHorrorOnline
"In addition to establishing close friendships with Wheadon, Borneaz, and the cast of Angel, Hallett also spends some of his downtime with W/B collegaue Amber Benson (Tara on Buffy). Starting in late March/early April, the two will co-star in an independent film she wrote called Chance. "ItÕs all about her character, Chance, going through the daily grind,; about trying to figure out who you are in life, and all the things that you encounter with boyfriends and girlfriends, and different experiences with drugs and this and that. My character is Jack, and IÕm a nightclub singerÑbut this time youÕll actually be seeing my face," he adds with a laugh. "Her character comes into the bar and falls in love with him, and she finds out later that heÕs gay and sheÕs pissed about it. ItÕs a really cool movie."
Unlike Angel, Chance will also be Hallett's first role that won't require spending three hours in a makeup chair getting fitted with horns and a prosthetic chin and nose. Nor will he be sporting those creepy, blood-red contacts. "

the eidc shoot sheet list Chance as filming on
April 1,8,9
from 9am to 10pm all three days
Lets send lots of good thoughts to Amber and her crew for wonderful shoots !!!
Is anyone here going to try and make the shoots ??
4/1/01 frm 09:00 to 22:00 CHANCE
4/8/01 - 4/9/01 09:00 to 22:00 CHANCE
________
NOTE:
Little Willow posted this up to me over on her board.
"I've deleted your post about the filming locations...They don't want anyone publicizing the information because when they are filming, it's all work and not really the right place for fans to drop by. Please, PLEASE delete any posts on this board, on the Kitten board, anywhere, that you have the times and address. Thank you"
_____
From what I can tell everyone here seems familiar with the eidc and use it to track buffy and chance shoots, so I hadn't thought it a problem to post the information and I doubt pulling the info here at this point would matter since its a public data base and everyone knows how to get it if they are really interested anyway
Besides our 'scouts' would never impose or interfer with shoots.
But if folks here think it should be deleted I would be happy too or the moderators are free to pull it off if they wish

LW I've edited the post above to remove the address
but if the Chance folks are unawares someone should give them a heads up that the information came from a very public and easily searchable data base/website that seems too be broadly known about in the buffy on line circles
I've oft seen the data base/website referenced as the source of buffy shoot sites/dates on several fan boards outside of this one including the bronze and TBC&S
anyone can go into that website and get the Buffy/Chance/or any other shows, movies, films etc (being filmed in LA) shoot dates and locations for the folllowing 2 weeks
I'm happy to refrain from pulling down the info and sharing it here but
if the Chance folks are unawares they should get a heads up that their schedules are up in a public data base two weeks in advance

I can see both points here, and I'd follow such a request as soon as it was made. On the one hand, yes, the info is availible and some folks will check it out. But not everybody will. If the shoot sched is posted on a bunch of sites, that may increase the possibility of interuptions. Somebody could see it on the kitten board and post elsewhere, etc.
For comparison's sake, a lot of info is on the Web which could be used to cause harm. Just because it's on one site doesn't mean it's OK to duplicate it on other sites. If somebody really wants to get it, they will, but there's no need to make it easier.
And before I get any angry responses: for goodness sake, I am NOT comparing Amber fans to bomb-builders, nor am I slagging on TVsurfer, who has posted tons of cool stuff. I'm just suggesting that we be respectful 'n all.

no angry response here Blacklab (G)
I'm pretty much of the mind that the web is an open book and folks will find what ever it is they seek.
If I find something I think may be of common interest worth sharing with folks on a board, especially for discussion purposes, I try and remember to always post the weblink or source of the info so folks can read the original source.
I became familiar with the shoot data base (and I'm sure others have too) from the posts of folks on this board and elsewhere regarding buffy shoots. So it appeared to me to be the kind of info commonly shared and discussed by fans here and elsewhere. Since buffy shoots listed at the site have been discussed here often, I didn't think it out of line to post up the Chance shoot info.
On the other hand, I can understand the Chance folks concern that the more places the info is made available and discussed the more likely it will be that they will attract unwanted attention at their shoots.
I'd hate to cause them undue problems so I'm happy to refrain from passing on the info

I am coming out of lurk mode to post on this topic because it seems controversial and I like controversy (well, sometimes.)
It's hard for me to know the real deal since I don't live in LA, and I don't know what the deal is with crowd control or security on shoots. I live in NY and I've seen all kinds of stuff going on in public places: movie shoots, celebrities strolling about, musical performances, sports stars, you name it.
I feel that just about anything that goes on in public should be open to the public to watch -- as long as they are inobtrusive and respectful. That is why there are PAs on public shoots -- to tell the crowd when to shut up. I think most production companies are aware of this and factor this variable into their production planning. You can't walk around naked in public and expect people not to look -- it's human nature.
Now if the Chance shoot is in somebody's house or apt. (ie. private property) then it's a totally different story. But I think most Amber fans are respectful and smart enough to know the difference. Especially since most of us are financing a portion of this movie -- I mean who's going to contribute money to a movie and then disrupt the production process?
I don't know -- perhaps the Chance people have been victim of psycho-disruptive fans -- I'm not there so I can't say. But I think the Chance people should give Amber's fans a little more credit. 99.9% of us are very supportive of the movie and don't want to hinder it in anyway. The request to take the shooting info down -- especially when it's already on a very public and well known site -- struck a bad note with me. I don't know, man... just my 2 cents...

jsr, I agree. It is public info. The first time I deleted a post about this a long time ago. I also knew that other people would post the information and they did. After consideration, I decided this was public information and people then had a right to know. Certainly, I knew and I am one of the most likely people to show up. I have shown up twice now and have not caused one problem. So I too resent the implication. I understand "people" have asked for this info not to be posted, but I don't see how we can suppress what is by law public information. It was posted before and I didn't see a mob of people at the shoot. Has this been a problem at the shoot because if it is I haven't seen it. Even at the most publicized Buffy (and generally the show would attract more attention) no more than a handful of people have ever shown up. I would understand if this was a problem. So far it hasn't been, certainly not from anyone on this board.

Hmmm... I've been debating with myself about whether or not to get involved with this discussion. As someone who goes to a lot of shoots, I guess I should.
I can understand if Amber's anxious about spectators at her shoots. She doesn't have the money to hire a bunch of Production Assistants and off-duty cops to wrangle onlookers the way the Buffy crew does. She's on a tight schedule, she's got a tight budget, and she's exhausted from doing this movie at the same time that she's shooting Buffy. She doesn't need the extra stress.
On the other hand, if she's shooting on public property it's only natural that some people who see her working will want to watch - although I personally never feel good about asserting my right to make someone else uncomfortable for no other reason than because I can.
Amber has nothing to worry about if people who come to watch use a little common sense and practice proper shooting-location etiquette. It's just that there are no guarantees people will behave properly, so I can understand her apprehension.

It's all a matter of respect; something we've already talked about on the board. I think as kitties, most of us are respectful of Amber and completely support her in whatever she does, career-wise. Not a single one of us would want to jeopardise that in any way.
Talk on the board is one thing, but actions are quite another. If someone did attend one of the shoots, I'm sure that they wouldn't get in the way or hassle Amber or the cast and crew.
Nice kitties.

Ambers updated her Chance site with more journal entries and pics !!
http://zengurrljen.tripod.com/chancemovie2/chance2.html
She looks cute in a mustache Appears that Emma C's schedule wouldn't allow for her to redo her scenes which were lost in a filming error and just how does Amber know that Nick B's fiance is a good kisser ??? Also looks like the buffy folks are letting Amber borrow their stage for filming?? but isn't filming 17 pages in one day a bit on the pushing the impossible side? I'd heard even 8 pages in a day was really pushing it. In any case, GO AMBER !!!

What did you think of her with a mustache?(G)
by the way you probably know this but just in case there are some home video clips up at http://pub31.ezboard.com/famberbensonfrm3.showMessage?topicID=117.topic
of amber signing at the mega con
By the way, the folks working on and raising money for ambers movie have posted some updated info from the shoots over on little willows board
http://pub31.ezboard.com/famberbensonfrm3.showMessageRange?topicID=85.topic&start=221&stop=223
their comments include the following regarding amber knowing how tressa kisses (G)
"there are some GREAT, i mean, PHENOMENAL scenes between amber & tressa...patrice (the director of photography) is absolutely brilliant with the shots he gets!"
and
"losing emma was rough, she was such a wonderful addition and her scenes (the ones we lost) were just...fantastic. but i think we've recouped and added in equally great stuff"
also
"for all those of you who have bought pictures, we are currently sifting through about 30 rolls of film, trying to pick the right Amber in director/mode pic. things have been absolutely insane around here and we're running behind, but that is our FIRST priority! if you have any questions, just email!

http://www.horroronline.com/globalnav/gnf.pl?url=http%3A//www.horroronline.com/&referrer=http%3A//search.msn.com/spbasic.htm%3FMT%3DHorrorOnline
"In addition to establishing close friendships with Wheadon, Borneaz, and the cast of Angel, Hallett also spends some of his downtime with W/B collegaue Amber Benson (Tara on Buffy). Starting in late March/early April, the two will co-star in an independent film she wrote called Chance. "ItÕs all about her character, Chance, going through the daily grind,; about trying to figure out who you are in life, and all the things that you encounter with boyfriends and girlfriends, and different experiences with drugs and this and that. My character is Jack, and IÕm a nightclub singerÑbut this time youÕll actually be seeing my face," he adds with a laugh. "Her character comes into the bar and falls in love with him, and she finds out later that heÕs gay and sheÕs pissed about it. ItÕs a really cool movie."
Unlike Angel, Chance will also be Hallett's first role that won't require spending three hours in a makeup chair getting fitted with horns and a prosthetic chin and nose. Nor will he be sporting those creepy, blood-red contacts. "

I can understand if Amber's anxious about spectators at her shoots. She doesn't have the money to hire a bunch of Production Assistants and off-duty cops to wrangle onlookers the way the Buffy crew does. She's on a tight schedule, she's got a tight budget, and she's exhausted from doing this movie at the same time that she's shooting Buffy. She doesn't need the extra stress.
On the other hand, if she's shooting on public property it's only natural that some people who see her working will want to watch - although I personally never feel good about asserting my right to make someone else uncomfortable for no other reason than because I can.
Amber has nothing to worry about if people who come to watch use a little common sense and practice proper shooting-location etiquette. It's just that there are no guarantees people will behave properly, so I can understand her apprehension.

She looks cute in a mustache Appears that Emma C's schedule wouldn't allow for her to redo her scenes which were lost in a filming error and just how does Amber know that Nick B's fiance is a good kisser ??? Also looks like the buffy folks are letting Amber borrow their stage for filming?? but isn't filming 17 pages in one day a bit on the pushing the impossible side? I'd heard even 8 pages in a day was really pushing it. In any case, GO AMBER !!!

What did you think of her with a mustache?(G)
by the way you probably know this but just in case there are some home video clips up at http://pub31.ezboard.com/famberbensonfrm3.showMessage?topicID=117.topic
of amber signing at the mega con
By the way, the folks working on and raising money for ambers movie have posted some updated info from the shoots over on little willows board
http://pub31.ezboard.com/famberbensonfrm3.showMessageRange?topicID=85.topic&start=221&stop=223
their comments include the following regarding amber knowing how tressa kisses (G)
"there are some GREAT, i mean, PHENOMENAL scenes between amber & tressa...patrice (the director of photography) is absolutely brilliant with the shots he gets!"
and
"losing emma was rough, she was such a wonderful addition and her scenes (the ones we lost) were just...fantastic. but i think we've recouped and added in equally great stuff"
also
"for all those of you who have bought pictures, we are currently sifting through about 30 rolls of film, trying to pick the right Amber in director/mode pic. things have been absolutely insane around here and we're running behind, but that is our FIRST priority! if you have any questions, just email!

Horror on line has an interview with Andy Hallet who will costar with Amber in her movie. He has nice words about it:
http://www.horroronline.com/globalnav/gnf.pl?url=http%3A//www.horroronline.com/&referrer=http%3A//search.msn.com/spbasic.htm%3FMT%3DHorrorOnline
"In addition to establishing close friendships with Wheadon, Borneaz, and the cast of Angel, Hallett also spends some of his downtime with W/B collegaue Amber Benson (Tara on Buffy). Starting in late March/early April, the two will co-star in an independent film she wrote called Chance. "ItÕs all about her character, Chance, going through the daily grind,; about trying to figure out who you are in life, and all the things that you encounter with boyfriends and girlfriends, and different experiences with drugs and this and that. My character is Jack, and IÕm a nightclub singerÑbut this time youÕll actually be seeing my face," he adds with a laugh. "Her character comes into the bar and falls in love with him, and she finds out later that heÕs gay and sheÕs pissed about it. ItÕs a really cool movie."
Unlike Angel, Chance will also be Hallett's first role that won't require spending three hours in a makeup chair getting fitted with horns and a prosthetic chin and nose. Nor will he be sporting those creepy, blood-red contacts. "

the eidc shoot sheet list Chance as filming on
April 1,8,9
from 9am to 10pm all three days
Lets send lots of good thoughts to Amber and her crew for wonderful shoots !!!
Is anyone here going to try and make the shoots ??
4/1/01 frm 09:00 to 22:00 CHANCE
4/8/01 - 4/9/01 09:00 to 22:00 CHANCE
________
NOTE:
Little Willow posted this up to me over on her board.
"I've deleted your post about the filming locations...They don't want anyone publicizing the information because when they are filming, it's all work and not really the right place for fans to drop by. Please, PLEASE delete any posts on this board, on the Kitten board, anywhere, that you have the times and address. Thank you"
_____
From what I can tell everyone here seems familiar with the eidc and use it to track buffy and chance shoots, so I hadn't thought it a problem to post the information and I doubt pulling the info here at this point would matter since its a public data base and everyone knows how to get it if they are really interested anyway
Besides our 'scouts' would never impose or interfer with shoots.
But if folks here think it should be deleted I would be happy too or the moderators are free to pull it off if they wish

LW I've edited the post above to remove the address
but if the Chance folks are unawares someone should give them a heads up that the information came from a very public and easily searchable data base/website that seems too be broadly known about in the buffy on line circles
I've oft seen the data base/website referenced as the source of buffy shoot sites/dates on several fan boards outside of this one including the bronze and TBC&S
anyone can go into that website and get the Buffy/Chance/or any other shows, movies, films etc (being filmed in LA) shoot dates and locations for the folllowing 2 weeks
I'm happy to refrain from pulling down the info and sharing it here but
if the Chance folks are unawares they should get a heads up that their schedules are up in a public data base two weeks in advance

I can see both points here, and I'd follow such a request as soon as it was made. On the one hand, yes, the info is availible and some folks will check it out. But not everybody will. If the shoot sched is posted on a bunch of sites, that may increase the possibility of interuptions. Somebody could see it on the kitten board and post elsewhere, etc.
For comparison's sake, a lot of info is on the Web which could be used to cause harm. Just because it's on one site doesn't mean it's OK to duplicate it on other sites. If somebody really wants to get it, they will, but there's no need to make it easier.
And before I get any angry responses: for goodness sake, I am NOT comparing Amber fans to bomb-builders, nor am I slagging on TVsurfer, who has posted tons of cool stuff. I'm just suggesting that we be respectful 'n all.

no angry response here Blacklab (G)
I'm pretty much of the mind that the web is an open book and folks will find what ever it is they seek.
If I find something I think may be of common interest worth sharing with folks on a board, especially for discussion purposes, I try and remember to always post the weblink or source of the info so folks can read the original source.
I became familiar with the shoot data base (and I'm sure others have too) from the posts of folks on this board and elsewhere regarding buffy shoots. So it appeared to me to be the kind of info commonly shared and discussed by fans here and elsewhere. Since buffy shoots listed at the site have been discussed here often, I didn't think it out of line to post up the Chance shoot info.
On the other hand, I can understand the Chance folks concern that the more places the info is made available and discussed the more likely it will be that they will attract unwanted attention at their shoots.
I'd hate to cause them undue problems so I'm happy to refrain from passing on the info

I am coming out of lurk mode to post on this topic because it seems controversial and I like controversy (well, sometimes.)
It's hard for me to know the real deal since I don't live in LA, and I don't know what the deal is with crowd control or security on shoots. I live in NY and I've seen all kinds of stuff going on in public places: movie shoots, celebrities strolling about, musical performances, sports stars, you name it.
I feel that just about anything that goes on in public should be open to the public to watch -- as long as they are inobtrusive and respectful. That is why there are PAs on public shoots -- to tell the crowd when to shut up. I think most production companies are aware of this and factor this variable into their production planning. You can't walk around naked in public and expect people not to look -- it's human nature.
Now if the Chance shoot is in somebody's house or apt. (ie. private property) then it's a totally different story. But I think most Amber fans are respectful and smart enough to know the difference. Especially since most of us are financing a portion of this movie -- I mean who's going to contribute money to a movie and then disrupt the production process?
I don't know -- perhaps the Chance people have been victim of psycho-disruptive fans -- I'm not there so I can't say. But I think the Chance people should give Amber's fans a little more credit. 99.9% of us are very supportive of the movie and don't want to hinder it in anyway. The request to take the shooting info down -- especially when it's already on a very public and well known site -- struck a bad note with me. I don't know, man... just my 2 cents...

jsr, I agree. It is public info. The first time I deleted a post about this a long time ago. I also knew that other people would post the information and they did. After consideration, I decided this was public information and people then had a right to know. Certainly, I knew and I am one of the most likely people to show up. I have shown up twice now and have not caused one problem. So I too resent the implication. I understand "people" have asked for this info not to be posted, but I don't see how we can suppress what is by law public information. It was posted before and I didn't see a mob of people at the shoot. Has this been a problem at the shoot because if it is I haven't seen it. Even at the most publicized Buffy (and generally the show would attract more attention) no more than a handful of people have ever shown up. I would understand if this was a problem. So far it hasn't been, certainly not from anyone on this board.

Hmmm... I've been debating with myself about whether or not to get involved with this discussion. As someone who goes to a lot of shoots, I guess I should.
I can understand if Amber's anxious about spectators at her shoots. She doesn't have the money to hire a bunch of Production Assistants and off-duty cops to wrangle onlookers the way the Buffy crew does. She's on a tight schedule, she's got a tight budget, and she's exhausted from doing this movie at the same time that she's shooting Buffy. She doesn't need the extra stress.
On the other hand, if she's shooting on public property it's only natural that some people who see her working will want to watch - although I personally never feel good about asserting my right to make someone else uncomfortable for no other reason than because I can.
Amber has nothing to worry about if people who come to watch use a little common sense and practice proper shooting-location etiquette. It's just that there are no guarantees people will behave properly, so I can understand her apprehension.

It's all a matter of respect; something we've already talked about on the board. I think as kitties, most of us are respectful of Amber and completely support her in whatever she does, career-wise. Not a single one of us would want to jeopardise that in any way.
Talk on the board is one thing, but actions are quite another. If someone did attend one of the shoots, I'm sure that they wouldn't get in the way or hassle Amber or the cast and crew.
Nice kitties.

It's all a matter of respect; something we've already talked about on the board. I think as kitties, most of us are respectful of Amber and completely support her in whatever she does, career-wise. Not a single one of us would want to jeopardise that in any way.
Talk on the board is one thing, but actions are quite another. If someone did attend one of the shoots, I'm sure that they wouldn't get in the way or hassle Amber or the cast and crew.
Nice kitties.

Ambers updated her Chance site with more journal entries and pics !!
http://zengurrljen.tripod.com/chancemovie2/chance2.html
She looks cute in a mustache Appears that Emma C's schedule wouldn't allow for her to redo her scenes which were lost in a filming error and just how does Amber know that Nick B's fiance is a good kisser ??? Also looks like the buffy folks are letting Amber borrow their stage for filming?? but isn't filming 17 pages in one day a bit on the pushing the impossible side? I'd heard even 8 pages in a day was really pushing it. In any case, GO AMBER !!!

their comments include the following regarding amber knowing how tressa kisses (G)

Horror on line has an interview with Andy Hallet who will costar with Amber in her movie. He has nice words about it:
http://www.horroronline.com/globalnav/gnf.pl?url=http%3A//www.horroronline.com/&referrer=http%3A//search.msn.com/spbasic.htm%3FMT%3DHorrorOnline
"In addition to establishing close friendships with Wheadon, Borneaz, and the cast of Angel, Hallett also spends some of his downtime with W/B collegaue Amber Benson (Tara on Buffy). Starting in late March/early April, the two will co-star in an independent film she wrote called Chance. "ItÕs all about her character, Chance, going through the daily grind,; about trying to figure out who you are in life, and all the things that you encounter with boyfriends and girlfriends, and different experiences with drugs and this and that. My character is Jack, and IÕm a nightclub singerÑbut this time youÕll actually be seeing my face," he adds with a laugh. "Her character comes into the bar and falls in love with him, and she finds out later that heÕs gay and sheÕs pissed about it. ItÕs a really cool movie."
Unlike Angel, Chance will also be Hallett's first role that won't require spending three hours in a makeup chair getting fitted with horns and a prosthetic chin and nose. Nor will he be sporting those creepy, blood-red contacts. "

Lets send lots of good thoughts to Amber and her crew for wonderful shoots !!!
Is anyone here going to try and make the shoots ??
4/1/01 frm 09:00 to 22:00 CHANCE
4/8/01 - 4/9/01 09:00 to 22:00 CHANCE

NOTE:
Little Willow posted this up to me over on her board.
"I've deleted your post about the filming locations...They don't want anyone publicizing the information because when they are filming, it's all work and not really the right place for fans to drop by. Please, PLEASE delete any posts on this board, on the Kitten board, anywhere, that you have the times and address. Thank you"

From what I can tell everyone here seems familiar with the eidc and use it to track buffy and chance shoots, so I hadn't thought it a problem to post the information and I doubt pulling the info here at this point would matter since its a public data base and everyone knows how to get it if they are really interested anyway
Besides our 'scouts' would never impose or interfer with shoots.
But if folks here think it should be deleted I would be happy too or the moderators are free to pull it off if they wish

LW I've edited the post above to remove the address
but if the Chance folks are unawares someone should give them a heads up that the information came from a very public and easily searchable data base/website that seems too be broadly known about in the buffy on line circles
I've oft seen the data base/website referenced as the source of buffy shoot sites/dates on several fan boards outside of this one including the bronze and TBC&S
anyone can go into that website and get the Buffy/Chance/or any other shows, movies, films etc (being filmed in LA) shoot dates and locations for the folllowing 2 weeks
I'm happy to refrain from pulling down the info and sharing it here but
if the Chance folks are unawares they should get a heads up that their schedules are up in a public data base two weeks in advance

I can see both points here, and I'd follow such a request as soon as it was made. On the one hand, yes, the info is availible and some folks will check it out. But not everybody will. If the shoot sched is posted on a bunch of sites, that may increase the possibility of interuptions. Somebody could see it on the kitten board and post elsewhere, etc.
For comparison's sake, a lot of info is on the Web which could be used to cause harm. Just because it's on one site doesn't mean it's OK to duplicate it on other sites. If somebody really wants to get it, they will, but there's no need to make it easier.
And before I get any angry responses: for goodness sake, I am NOT comparing Amber fans to bomb-builders, nor am I slagging on TVsurfer, who has posted tons of cool stuff. I'm just suggesting that we be respectful 'n all.

no angry response here Blacklab (G)
I'm pretty much of the mind that the web is an open book and folks will find what ever it is they seek.
If I find something I think may be of common interest worth sharing with folks on a board, especially for discussion purposes, I try and remember to always post the weblink or source of the info so folks can read the original source.
I became familiar with the shoot data base (and I'm sure others have too) from the posts of folks on this board and elsewhere regarding buffy shoots. So it appeared to me to be the kind of info commonly shared and discussed by fans here and elsewhere. Since buffy shoots listed at the site have been discussed here often, I didn't think it out of line to post up the Chance shoot info.
On the other hand, I can understand the Chance folks concern that the more places the info is made available and discussed the more likely it will be that they will attract unwanted attention at their shoots.
I'd hate to cause them undue problems so I'm happy to refrain from passing on the info

I am coming out of lurk mode to post on this topic because it seems controversial and I like controversy (well, sometimes.)
It's hard for me to know the real deal since I don't live in LA, and I don't know what the deal is with crowd control or security on shoots. I live in NY and I've seen all kinds of stuff going on in public places: movie shoots, celebrities strolling about, musical performances, sports stars, you name it.
I feel that just about anything that goes on in public should be open to the public to watch -- as long as they are inobtrusive and respectful. That is why there are PAs on public shoots -- to tell the crowd when to shut up. I think most production companies are aware of this and factor this variable into their production planning. You can't walk around naked in public and expect people not to look -- it's human nature.
Now if the Chance shoot is in somebody's house or apt. (ie. private property) then it's a totally different story. But I think most Amber fans are respectful and smart enough to know the difference. Especially since most of us are financing a portion of this movie -- I mean who's going to contribute money to a movie and then disrupt the production process?
I don't know -- perhaps the Chance people have been victim of psycho-disruptive fans -- I'm not there so I can't say. But I think the Chance people should give Amber's fans a little more credit. 99.9% of us are very supportive of the movie and don't want to hinder it in anyway. The request to take the shooting info down -- especially when it's already on a very public and well known site -- struck a bad note with me. I don't know, man... just my 2 cents...

jsr, I agree. It is public info. The first time I deleted a post about this a long time ago. I also knew that other people would post the information and they did. After consideration, I decided this was public information and people then had a right to know. Certainly, I knew and I am one of the most likely people to show up. I have shown up twice now and have not caused one problem. So I too resent the implication. I understand "people" have asked for this info not to be posted, but I don't see how we can suppress what is by law public information. It was posted before and I didn't see a mob of people at the shoot. Has this been a problem at the shoot because if it is I haven't seen it. Even at the most publicized Buffy (and generally the show would attract more attention) no more than a handful of people have ever shown up. I would understand if this was a problem. So far it hasn't been, certainly not from anyone on this board.

Hmmm... I've been debating with myself about whether or not to get involved with this discussion. As someone who goes to a lot of shoots, I guess I should.
I can understand if Amber's anxious about spectators at her shoots. She doesn't have the money to hire a bunch of Production Assistants and off-duty cops to wrangle onlookers the way the Buffy crew does. She's on a tight schedule, she's got a tight budget, and she's exhausted from doing this movie at the same time that she's shooting Buffy. She doesn't need the extra stress.
On the other hand, if she's shooting on public property it's only natural that some people who see her working will want to watch - although I personally never feel good about asserting my right to make someone else uncomfortable for no other reason than because I can.
Amber has nothing to worry about if people who come to watch use a little common sense and practice proper shooting-location etiquette. It's just that there are no guarantees people will behave properly, so I can understand her apprehension.

And before I get any angry responses: for goodness sake, I am NOT comparing Amber fans to bomb-builders, nor am I slagging on TVsurfer, who has posted tons of cool stuff. I'm just suggesting that we be respectful 'n all.

no angry response here Blacklab (G)
I'm pretty much of the mind that the web is an open book and folks will find what ever it is they seek.
If I find something I think may be of common interest worth sharing with folks on a board, especially for discussion purposes, I try and remember to always post the weblink or source of the info so folks can read the original source.
I became familiar with the shoot data base (and I'm sure others have too) from the posts of folks on this board and elsewhere regarding buffy shoots. So it appeared to me to be the kind of info commonly shared and discussed by fans here and elsewhere. Since buffy shoots listed at the site have been discussed here often, I didn't think it out of line to post up the Chance shoot info.
On the other hand, I can understand the Chance folks concern that the more places the info is made available and discussed the more likely it will be that they will attract unwanted attention at their shoots.
I'd hate to cause them undue problems so I'm happy to refrain from passing on the info

I am coming out of lurk mode to post on this topic because it seems controversial and I like controversy (well, sometimes.)
It's hard for me to know the real deal since I don't live in LA, and I don't know what the deal is with crowd control or security on shoots. I live in NY and I've seen all kinds of stuff going on in public places: movie shoots, celebrities strolling about, musical performances, sports stars, you name it.
I feel that just about anything that goes on in public should be open to the public to watch -- as long as they are inobtrusive and respectful. That is why there are PAs on public shoots -- to tell the crowd when to shut up. I think most production companies are aware of this and factor this variable into their production planning. You can't walk around naked in public and expect people not to look -- it's human nature.
Now if the Chance shoot is in somebody's house or apt. (ie. private property) then it's a totally different story. But I think most Amber fans are respectful and smart enough to know the difference. Especially since most of us are financing a portion of this movie -- I mean who's going to contribute money to a movie and then disrupt the production process?
I don't know -- perhaps the Chance people have been victim of psycho-disruptive fans -- I'm not there so I can't say. But I think the Chance people should give Amber's fans a little more credit. 99.9% of us are very supportive of the movie and don't want to hinder it in anyway. The request to take the shooting info down -- especially when it's already on a very public and well known site -- struck a bad note with me. I don't know, man... just my 2 cents...

jsr, I agree. It is public info. The first time I deleted a post about this a long time ago. I also knew that other people would post the information and they did. After consideration, I decided this was public information and people then had a right to know. Certainly, I knew and I am one of the most likely people to show up. I have shown up twice now and have not caused one problem. So I too resent the implication. I understand "people" have asked for this info not to be posted, but I don't see how we can suppress what is by law public information. It was posted before and I didn't see a mob of people at the shoot. Has this been a problem at the shoot because if it is I haven't seen it. Even at the most publicized Buffy (and generally the show would attract more attention) no more than a handful of people have ever shown up. I would understand if this was a problem. So far it hasn't been, certainly not from anyone on this board.

Very well put jsr. I completely agree.
I am not likely to show up, living on the other side of the planet and all, but if I could go, I'd make damn sure I would not get in the way. No one on this board would cause a problem.

Hmmm... I've been debating with myself about whether or not to get involved with this discussion. As someone who goes to a lot of shoots, I guess I should.
I can understand if Amber's anxious about spectators at her shoots. She doesn't have the money to hire a bunch of Production Assistants and off-duty cops to wrangle onlookers the way the Buffy crew does. She's on a tight schedule, she's got a tight budget, and she's exhausted from doing this movie at the same time that she's shooting Buffy. She doesn't need the extra stress.
On the other hand, if she's shooting on public property it's only natural that some people who see her working will want to watch - although I personally never feel good about asserting my right to make someone else uncomfortable for no other reason than because I can.
Amber has nothing to worry about if people who come to watch use a little common sense and practice proper shooting-location etiquette. It's just that there are no guarantees people will behave properly, so I can understand her apprehension.

It's all a matter of respect; something we've already talked about on the board. I think as kitties, most of us are respectful of Amber and completely support her in whatever she does, career-wise. Not a single one of us would want to jeopardise that in any way.
Talk on the board is one thing, but actions are quite another. If someone did attend one of the shoots, I'm sure that they wouldn't get in the way or hassle Amber or the cast and crew.
Nice kitties.

Ambers updated her Chance site with more journal entries and pics !!
http://zengurrljen.tripod.com/chancemovie2/chance2.html
She looks cute in a mustache Appears that Emma C's schedule wouldn't allow for her to redo her scenes which were lost in a filming error and just how does Amber know that Nick B's fiance is a good kisser ??? Also looks like the buffy folks are letting Amber borrow their stage for filming?? but isn't filming 17 pages in one day a bit on the pushing the impossible side? I'd heard even 8 pages in a day was really pushing it. In any case, GO AMBER !!!

What did you think of her with a mustache?(G)
by the way you probably know this but just in case there are some home video clips up at http://pub31.ezboard.com/famberbensonfrm3.showMessage?topicID=117.topic
of amber signing at the mega con
By the way, the folks working on and raising money for ambers movie have posted some updated info from the shoots over on little willows board
http://pub31.ezboard.com/famberbensonfrm3.showMessageRange?topicID=85.topic&start=221&stop=223
their comments include the following regarding amber knowing how tressa kisses (G)
"there are some GREAT, i mean, PHENOMENAL scenes between amber & tressa...patrice (the director of photography) is absolutely brilliant with the shots he gets!"
and
"losing emma was rough, she was such a wonderful addition and her scenes (the ones we lost) were just...fantastic. but i think we've recouped and added in equally great stuff"
also
"for all those of you who have bought pictures, we are currently sifting through about 30 rolls of film, trying to pick the right Amber in director/mode pic. things have been absolutely insane around here and we're running behind, but that is our FIRST priority! if you have any questions, just email!

thanks for the response, i really appreciate the insight. i did come onto this board blind, and your post reveals the kind of people who are here: a close community of friends that trade info/thoughts/etc. i apologize if i made any assumptions that were offensive, it wasn't meant like that at all (and that extends to the board).
