Dave: Freak Snowstorm Hits LA


A snowstorm hits LA thanks to the services of the special effects department at the ISM Films Boot Camp.NEWS FLASH…Massive freak snowstorm hits Los Angeles.

For Immediate Release:  Despite the normal prevailing winds, 80-degree temperatures, and relentless sunshine a localized freak snowstorm hit the heart of Los Angeles producing intermittent limited visibility and occasional measurable accumulation.  Residents were completely surprised by the unusual patterns and local forecasters could find no explanation or record of similar occurrences.  Perhaps they simply forgot to check with the production and art departments of The Big Game filming adjacent to the DC Stages back lot.

Cheryl uses the film camera at the ISM Films Boot Camp.According to STN cinematographer Cheryl Kline the explanation was simple. “They only had to ask and we would have been glad to tell them we were simulating an early morning snow storm street scene in New York City.”  Cast, crew, stand-ins, teachers and students “coated up” and slogged through the slushy muck for a series of scene in the ISM Films production soon to be completed.  After all, this is Hollywood.

Later,
