Sarah Jessica Parker had an appearance on the “Table for Two” podcast, and there she opens up about the challenges of filming scenes in the always-crowded streets of Manhattan.
she said, “The crowd control is an issue… You are asking everyone, please be quiet when we call ‘action,’”
“No cameras, no shutters… The crowds tend to be really cooperative and sweet — they’re excited to be there,” she added. However, the paparazzi photographers tracking the production are in a completely different way.
“But it’s the paparazzi that is a more complicated affair because you can hear their shutters and it can ruin a take,” she added.
“They are typically right next to the lens or right over the shoulder of the person whom you’re playing opposite in the scene,” Sarah Parker continued.
“So they are in your eye line all the time and some are doing it purposefully… That’s really hard and it’s been years of that and some are more provocative than others,” she shared. “That is our cross to bear that we have to make peace with, but I struggle with it a bit.”
