Not at all. In fact, they love it. They know I am there to film and they are there to set up. The DVD will be out soon and Ryan (the young tall lad) thinks he will be famous. Oh the stupidity of youth!
The balding guy (Paul) is a gift to the camera. He's a regular extra on Coronation Street and knows how to avoid the camera and also how to use it effectively. He has a confidence when looking down the lens that you don't find too often. Steve, the other guy is ambivilant about it. He just cracks on and works. Occasionally he will look at the camera, but it's rare.
There's also a short part filmed in a petrol station at night. The whole unedited piece is so funny. The guy behind the counter must have thought he was going to be on TV. He kept trying to get in shot 'discreetly'. Kind of shuffled into shot when he could.
It's a great gig.
