One thing to remember also is that MIRF is like the big sister of BARF, the office up there has a big hand in what we do here (from my understanding that is, think about the webpage and how it said michigan...). This is the second unit, they are just filming little extra bits for the movie. So, the Real movie has been wrapped up but the editing has not, and part of editing is getting extra footage!

Well that's my two cents :)
If your coming this weekend look for the green faery with the lilypad on her head running around with the other faeries resenting the film crew  :)

Says who Seamus? I bet with the size of your gun you could get famous. LOL!

humm, okay I guess that could be taken the wrong way....that's not what I meant. It's just that the picture of your gun on your shoulder takes up almost all of your picture.

ok... having conversed at some length with the 'film crew'...
I'm afraid there's an agenda here.

They seemed very interested in getting the WORST of us on film.  No, the film's not 'wrapped up' at all... not if they can get significant footage of folks who can't differentiate reality from fantasy.
Think... Mockumentary

It didn't take long talking to them to realize this, either.  The conversation started out with them wanting to get a Roguing on film and suddenly that took a backseat to questions about getting whackjobs and lunatics in action.
Sorry, no... this isn't a good deal for any of us in the community.

I didn't see them this past weekend.  Not that I was looking for them; keeping the McCracks occupied was a full time job.  But I suspect they got all they needed the weekend before, if indeed the cameras were running.....no, this is not what they represented themselves to be.

I just stumbled onto this thread. The production company did a great job of getting people pissed at MIRF when they were there....

I was one of the people "picked" out of the crowd to go a couple of rounds with security because I had a camera.

I thought this was hysterical.  I laughed so hard.  What a great spoof!

I thought it was odd that I managed to find pix from the actual cast-level of shooting out at MIRF from All's Faire.  I posted the link but I'm very curious as to how the person got the photos in the first place, given the level of gestapo control that happened over the season.  People got cameras confiscated, etc from what I've heard.  This is so unfortunate!

I've never been to MiRF ... so it is owned by the same person/persons/group etc., that owns BARF?  Why would patrons there get their cameras confiscated?  If photography were not permitted, shouldn't it be stated on tickets, at the gate, on the web site etc?  Sounds rather bizarre, IMHO.   ???
