Popular Post 66dc75 Posted August 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2016 Got asked to help out hanging a "few" old signs to make a downtown area look like 1967 for a movie they are filming next town over where I used to live. Fully loaded 53' trailer and 48' drop deck showed up. Looks like a whole lot more work than I expected. Actually put my Autocar to work and it's the same vintage as the signs. 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46377-going-hollywood/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 66dc75 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2016 I was going to ask if they needed a couple of old trucks for "ambiance" but kept my mouth shut when I found out it was a riot / looting scene they were filming 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46377-going-hollywood/#findComment-341830 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 66dc75 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2016 After doing this for 30 years signs actually bore me but these 2 are really cool. 1950's porcelian Frigidaire and 1920's or 30's GE sign with glass faces. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46377-going-hollywood/#findComment-343232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Looks like those Hollywood folks make high quality product. I would suppose to see just cardboard replicas of such vintage signs and so on.

66dc75 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 5th or 6th day hanging signs for the movie set. Amazing the work that goes into a few minutes on screen.
