Cops get called during locust video shoot!
Thursday January 15th, 2009, we shot some video for our upcoming project “crushed”. We have been using this fabulous green wall on 35th in West Seattle.

It was dark, 6 pm. The last image we were filming was the shadows of 7 people running around and shoving each other using the headlights from 2 cars on the wall. When we were just finishing, the cops rolled up. They told us they got a call that 6 people were beating up one person. We told him we were shooting a dance video and to come see the show at the Moore. Other cops were calling him on his walky talky thing and he told them “Yeah, these guys are just shooting a dance video and I am gonna see if it is any good.” He was super cool. We just wanna say “Go West Seattle for looking out for others in your community! Sorry we may had freaked you out for a second.” And “Thank you West Seattle cops for not harassing us just for being artists”.
