Vancouver is popular as a film taking place because it is a beautiful city with artistic structures, beaches, and forests. This week the film staffs of "Like Mike 2" are making movies in the park in front of my apartment. It is an American comedy in which a little boy gets around NBA. They have changed the hockey coat into a basketball coat which is set for a beach somewhere in California. Several palm trees are planted and an ice-cream shop is open. I can overlook the whole film site from my balcony. It's interesting. They seem to enjoy both making movies and playing basketball. Only one problem is that they are not good at playing basketball. It is taking plenty of time before taking a successful goal scene.
It's true, there were a lot of misses, but they were filming from various angles, so most of the time it didn't matter if they missed or not, as the shot wasn't on the basket. The main kids were actually pretty good at shooting. And the director wasn't bad either! We were extras over the past four days, so we found the time to have a bit of a play too. I sucked...
