Um morador de Venice descobriu que DD estava filmando uma cena de Californication.

Esta é a casa onde Hank Moody mora na praia de Venice, CA- Esta é considerada uma grande produção com muitos caminhões.
I took this picture (below) in my Venice, CA neighborhood on February 1, 2007. I had no clue what they were filming, and the actors (looked to be playing husband, wife, and daughter) were just far enough away that we weren't sure who they were. They were filming at a house that I've always considered to be the nicest home in our neighborhood -- I believe the architect who built it lives there, and it takes up two lots. Scroll down to see the photo I took.

It seemed like a really big film production, so I assumed it was for a major movie. There was a huge crane with a light at the top that really illuminated the entire neighborhood for the night shoot. It was pretty neat to see all that going on so close to my home. A few days later I saw them filming at a house across the street from this house. As I found out reading IMDB message boards, that appears to be for the same project.

After seeing all the studio trucks in my neighborhood again for the past few days, I went by the location again this morning (6/11/07) and found out they are shooting a new Showtime series called Californication, starring David Duchovny. This local house seems to be David's character's home, so I guess that means they will be shooting a lot more

It's amazing how many cars and trucks this bring into the general area (which makes finding a parking place damn near impossible on street sweeping days like today). There must be half a dozen huge trucks dedicated to equipment for the shoot. I feel sorry for one house that always has a generator truck parked in front of it (it's noisy and has fumes emanating from it). Then a number of trucks that are mobile dressing rooms, which are parked about 1/3 mile away, in a parking lot on Venice Blvd. That's also where all the crew and actors park, and where all the wardrobe trucks, craft services, etc. park. Crew and actors are mostly shuttled back and forth in vans.

I noticed that today all the cameras seemed to be video cameras, not film cameras like the one that can be seen in my photo below photo. Maybe they were filming the show's opening sequence with film, but generally shoot the series to tape? Just a layman's guess.

Be sure to check out these photos taken at the beach and you'll see the same car (scroll down below the bikini shots of Myleene Klass...
