Hi again,
Its Dan here again- I hope you don’t mind but I want to ask you a bit more about what I’m trying to do and if you do have any thoughts on it please do feel free to let me know them- I’d be very grateful for any advice. There’s no need to post this on the message board or anything- I’m not quite at that stage yet.
Essentially, my idea is to film a (staged) free party, but the problem is I’m uncertain as how I might approach people to be interested to take part. My problem is that I can’t really knowingly try to organise a real one (partly because i wouldn’t know how! and partly because for the sake of filming it probably wouldn’t work- people would just want to have a good time and not worry about filming, which is fair enough). I could ask around people in the local area to see whether they might be interested, but without getting in touch with the people who organise it in the first place, its unlikely that I’ll be able to find anyone who is interested, and also people to provide the sound system and equipment to make it look authentic.
I’m willing to pay people involved a small amount, and there wouldn’t be any chance that they are going to be recognised as a legal issue (that does seem to be a problem for some people on the forum), as its filming from an aerial camera which means the people would be too small to really see in detail. But you can see, I can’t really attract people who normally go to these things to wake up early on a weekend to go pretending to do what they love to do anyway without sound- or can I? What do you think? in your experience would be people be open to this, or is it a bit of a daft idea? If I did manage to get in touch with the people who arrange the parties and the people with the rigs, do you think they might be willing to help with the filming?
Well its a bit of a shot in the dark, but I just thought on the offchance that there might be an easy solution- probably not!
Hope to hear from you, and many kind thanks in advance,
All the best,
Dan

Hi there again,
I just noticed someone similar approached you for a documentary, and I can see that it didn’t get much of a positive response! So don’t worry about it posting it up on the site or anything- I can post something myself and explain it a bit more clearly, as I have registered on the site already.
Many thanks,
Dan
in what context is he making this movie? if its yet another fucking crime/drugs “thriller” with a link to the rave scene, type movie he can jog the fuck on, there’s enough bad publicity about this scene and true life tragedies without making dramas about it.. also I’m sure if cops/feds asked him questions for whatever reason, a rich uni boy like him will squeal rather than risk his career… enough people from “within the scene” have squealed over the years when pressure is put on them..
cant he just use existing photoage from police and news helicopters, theres gotta be loads out there…
they are unlikely to be allowed release it for a drama movie (same goes for private CCTV footage) – due to UK data protection/privacy/human rights laws!
if he is making a documentary about raves that might be a different matter, even then individuals’ identies have to be obscured.
during the 90s filming real raves for “yoof TV” came right on top, there was a few sympathetic documentaries about raves, Metpol and GMP basically recorded every show then went in with warrants/court orders (supported of course by Major’s govt and the management of the BBC and ITV)and seized the untransmitted camera footage.
They literally spent a year going through every frame of this, in fact by the time they finished, this woman what used to be in spiral tribe got the door busted off her family house – but the cops only found her with her partner and new baby, in the time it took them to work out who was who she’d fallen pregnant and wisely quit the party scene to look after her kid!
now they can do the same within weeks thanks to both their surveillance and the stuff people willingly divulge online…
from just reading that again i cant really see any problems with this, many free party rigs also do legal club nights and sound system hire. so cant really see any legal problem with staging a free party, as obviously they wouldnt be doing this sort of thing normally! and sure most of them are know to the police anyway and have thier names on the websites for the sound systems. main problems is as you say gl whats the reason for wanting to film one? whats the film/documentary going to be about? and more importantly is it going to have danny dyer in it?! :annoyed::you_smart
Can we moved this thread to subscribers?
I’ve not got a problem with this one..
Moved.
the real cost of “free expression” – OK doing smack is bad but can’t help but feel the filmmakers made their money whilst other folk got busted and sent down 🙁
