Attached: 1 image @[email protected] I was staying at a hotel near here, saw the film crew, and took this photo as I walked by. I didn’t realize Matthew McConaughey was in it until I looked at the photo later.
@drewmcdaniel Literally only a brief moment after this scene was shot. Here's three actors walking away from this scene.

@drewmcdaniel Ha! That's hilarious! (and cool!)
@ai6yr just watched the commercial for the first time… I remember hearing the synchronized clapping from inside my room and looking outside to see what was going on. It was very surreal. One of those ‘only in LA moments’
@drewmcdaniel That's quite a story, for sure! Thank you for sharing!!
misterprotocol@drewmcdaniel @ai6yr Man, I live in Venice Beach, and if I took a picture of every shoot I’ve driven by I’d have wrecked my car several times by now. There’s an entire sub-industry of sign printers in LA that makes these very distinctive signs, big black letters on a canary yellow background, pointing the way from a main thoroughfare to the crew parking location. You see them on phone poles everywhere. Be it noted that these signs are ALWAYS taken down at end of day.
@misterprotocol @drewmcdaniel I drive through an area frequently (Hidden Valley) with those signs, but it has always been in a rush... should have taken pictures of those many signs!
@ai6yr @drewmcdaniel They’re usually quite cryptic as to which production put them up, usually just the initials of the production company or the show or movie. In the case of a movie it’s generally just the initials of the working title, so outsiders have no hope.
@misterprotocol @drewmcdaniel I was more interested in pulling up my archive whenever the movies/etc come out and going "cool! So that's what that was!"
