It feels like that every time you take a break from it and come back too, but thankfully it does go away faster each time.

Most of the stories are about how the laws don’t work and how to circumvent them, yes.

I got confused for a second by the use of km/h because here in Europe everyone knows the white vans with ladders on top (or work vans in general) are driving at warp speed and do not give a fuck. You might be flying down the autobahns at 200km/h there’s still gonna be a van behind you flashing its lights telling you to move over so they can pass.

That was young me. Old me gets up early regardless of anything because my body decides so, and has at least an hour to himself before the chaos starts.

Lamborghini sells about 10k (2.5/q) units per year, Ferrari about 14 (3.5/q). So that’s a bit more than either of them but of course those are way more expensive and exclusive.

So it would actually be more practical, don’t need to mop it up if it evaporates.

Can’t believe you’ve been doing these for nearly a year! Are you gonna keep going after the anniversary?

Fantastic, this was exactly what I needed to get into my most ambitious project that starts tomorrow, thanks!

Only for Eurostar and some other international trains you get some checks when boarding, especially since Brexit.

I don’t get it…

I hear you! I work in the field and felt like giving context, it’s hard to know what’s common knowledge and not sometimes. The main point is, a lot of this stuff isn’t “mistakes” but either deliberate so as not to distract or just way more convenient for the production pipeline.

There’s a few reasons for this, firing the real siren on set is not practical due to the audio levels, they could maybe record it separately but that’s an extra thing to do, and why bother when “air_raid_siren_004.wav” is right there? Also audiences are used to “air_raid_siren_004.wav” and they’ll know immediately what it’s supposed to be, if you played the real sounds and it’s too unusual, it’ll make the audience think about it and take them out of the story. There’s so much stuff like this I’m filmmaking where if you stop to think about it critically for a second it doesn’t make sense, but that’s the point they don’t want you thinking about that, they want you thinking about the story and the characters. I know that’s frustrating when it’s your topic but I’m sure you’re glad they do it like this in any other case.
