The Bachelor Chooses Birdman!
In August of last year we were contacted by NZK productions to help with a location need for an ABC reality show. At the time, nobody knew that The Bachelor would be coming to San Francisco so we had to keep thIngs as quiet as possible. What were we asked to do? Shut down a block of Filbert St, cover it with snow and convert it into a temporary ski slope! All while keeping it a secret.. Our response, let's do this!We worked closely with The San Francisco Film Commission to conduct the the community out reach and assist with the timing and logistics of pulling this off in one day. They started at 5:00 a.m. and were to have everything cleaned up by midnight. After several weeks of planning, drawing maps, knocking on doors, hiring a bilingual location professional (Saisie Jang) and knocking on more doors; our signature survey of the local residents was complete and we were all set to make it snow!Not being regular viewers of the program, we didn't know what to expect. When Episode 3 aired on January 16th we were very proud of our work, a little surprised and well, definitely entertained. Here are the results of our hard work.
I stopped by that morning to watch the snow fall in San Francisco!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Oh! So that's how they do that...
Being from upstate New York, I always wondered what would happen if it snowed in San Francisco...
I had to get a shot of myself with the San Francisco snow!
