it's all about location, baby!

Whew, I never knew how hard it is to get a bunch of locations to authorize you shooting a ten second scene. At the risk of defaming Cafe Zouk, they may have a great set-up but asking for Rs. 10,000 per hour from students to shoot in it is excessive, to put it mildly.

Thereafter, we went to Dunkin Donuts and got them to agree to let us shoot there free as long as we didn't disrupt the customer or come by at peak hours. Turns out the nice manager is off on vacation the next time we visit and the new guy in charge refesues to let us shoot, making the ludicrous claim that they are full from the time they open (7 in the morning) till the time they close.

Next, it's time to hit Nando's, where, after speaking to a dozen different people, we get permission to shoot. Nice people in an overpriced multinational franchise... who would have thought?
