Target TV Commercial Shoot, King Kong Production Vehicle, Wardrobe and Makeup

Whilst flaneuring today, I chanced across a Target TV commercial shoot. The amount of trucks, equipment, personnel and assorted paraphernalia is staggeringly large. The scene is an outdoor patio and looked a bit like this:

Setting Up a "Scandal" set and the "Tween Choice Awards"

In back of the Palladium concert hall, along El Centro Avenue, the stagehands were building a set for the TV show: Scandal.

Does this look Governmental?

In the far background, the tall building, is the W Hotel. On the rooftop is the Drai's Nightclub and swimming pool. You could wait in a long line to get "in" there.

The Ricardo Montalban Theater will be the venue the 24th Annual Tween Choice Awards - hosted by Nick Cannon. This is Vine Street, just above Selma Avenue. The pix aren't the best quality as I had to shoot into the setting sun.

The Tween Choice Awards, are a fictional award show that take place on Disney's Sunny With A Chance.

In the last pix, you can see some of the basketball court on top of the theater's roof.

This is the northbound side of Highland Avenue from near the intersection of Melrose Avenue. The tall building in the far b.g. is at Santa Monica Blvd.

Modern Family Behind Fence

While in downtown Los Angeles (Hollywood) near the California Drop Forge property, I saw a Modern Family production vehicle. The truck was parked behind hurricane fencing and I couldn't get any closer.

Given How They Behave, They Should Be FENCED IN!

Hellman's Mayonnaise - Diane Merrick - Beverly Blvd.

As I'm flaneuring along Beverly Blvd. yesterday, a shoot was in full swing and I snapped a photo for the public's edification.

A crewmember told me it's a Hellman's Mayonnaise tv commercial. That won't be shown here in Los Angeles. The Hellman's parent company calls their mayo "Best Foods Mayo" in Los Angeles. East Coasters will see this TV spot.

The scene is inside the Diane Merrick clothing boutique. This section of Beverly Blvd. is rather more upscale than it's counterparts on Melrose Avenue.

Returning home I saw a Bentley. While that's a pretty common sight here in Hollywood, this car was dressed up a little differently:

Candid Pix at Urban Outfitters

The "mall" Space 15-20, of which I have posted about before, has a nice courtyard with chairs. The yard is sandwiched between the Umami Burger, Urban Outfitters and a ladies clothiers, the name of which I can't recall as I type this. This is Urban's side door as it's front door is on Cahuenga Blvd and the back is on Ivar St.
