TV show Cheaters- how do they do it???????
I happened upon this show more times than I'd care to admit, and all I could think is how do they handle all the legal issues that surely must come up during production. A few of the things: location releases. How do they get permission to film in bars/restaurants. I'm assuming lots of money exchange hands, followed by a ream of paperwork to sign.
How about property damage? I saw someone get shoved into a parked vehicle, clearly damaging that vehicle. Also when film in some restaurants, the name of the place s sometimes clearly viewable, even places like Subway and so on. Jonathan |

Thanks Pete. Interesting that someone on that discussion was a camera operator for the show. The stories that crew must have....but I'm sure they are all sworn to secrecy.

Remember there is very little "Real" in Reality TV.

If I was a restaurant owner I would actually pay to be on TV... think about it, it's free advertising!

I was a lead camera operator on that show for 2 years. All i will say is that, busting into a place with a crowd of people is extremely dangerous. I've gone home covered in food, beer and glass.

Yep Corey, that would've made it hard to white balance.
Cheers.
