I feel like having that in mind from the beginning should be more common. Filmmakers get their movie sets, local communities get cool landmarks, win-win.

- 6stringmerc 4y agoIf you see the quality of workmanship of sets and props (see: used Fast & Furious stunt cars bought by Tavarish) you’d be glad they tear them down and return the area to pre-filming state. Making things look good on camera are not at all related to human usability long term.
- yellowapple 4y agoImplicit in my comment was the idea that props be built with long-term human usability in mind. Even better if communities pitch in with labor and/or supplies to help make that happen.
- 6stringmerc 4y agoAh! In that case I agree, I think it could be a good rehabilitation concept for the incarcerated non-violent offenders and great for youth to build old world skills with a hammer and measuring tape.
- williamcotton 4y agoYeah, imagine if the set from Carrot Top's Chairman of the Board was preserved as a local community landmark. What a gift to humanity!
- Someone 4y agoIf the film isn’t a huge success (p > 0,5 for the typical movie, I would guess), local communities get some weird set of buildings designed not live in, but to provide the right cool video shots, and lose, potentially, some nature.
- yellowapple 4y agoSuccess is relative. A global flop might be a local blockbuster or vice versa.
