The process of decanting 500 people from the exhibition hall to the coaches involves lots of excitement, chatting to mates, calling to friends, shouting, joking and laughing loudly. All healthy stuff if not done 20 meters away from people's bedrooms at 07:00 on a Sunday morning. The cast of hundreds make their way to the pick up point in front of the UBS building, some of them use the footpaths, many of them seem to be wandering in the roads.
Coaches are maneuvered to the pick up locations by reversing into Brackley St and then down the remainder of Golden Lane to be in front of the UBS building. Coach engines are running and working during the whole process, and engines are left running even when the coaches are standing waiting for the next batch of extras to emerge. They don't seem to be the newest or quietest of coaches either.
Today, Sunday 11th March, is the last day of filming [but I since heard that there will be more activity on the weekend of the 17th/18th and still more in April]. I'm sure residents would have appreciated a schedule in advance so they knew what to expect and had a chance to plan around it. As it was, the early morning noise came as a surprise significantly compromising the quiet enjoyment of our homes, not least in the form of lost sleep.
... just in time to leave the area clear for the next big event.
Remember to call environmental services if you are disturbed. If residents don't call then there was no problem, and we can expect the City to do the same again for the next big film.
