At Mojave
Airport, TV and film production crews can utilize wide-open
spaces to produce sequences that might not be possible at other
locations. Pyrotechnics are welcome, as can be seen at the
latest project to be filmed on one of Mojave's runways, Spike
TV's Boom. The scene
to be shot involved two RVs, one of which was T-boned into the
other with dramatic results. The Mojave Airport has its own
dedicated security staff and fire department, which are
available to support film projects. For Boom, two of the
Airport's three crash rescue trucks were on standby, and once
the initial scene was complete, quickly dowsed the flames. The
crews then used hand lines to control the smoldering remnants,
while the filming continued. |
