afewmoreyears Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 That's easy....because they are stupid.... After all that's happened, and a complete loss of any form of common sense, this leaves only stupidity... Pretty cut and dry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Even if they're "stealing a shot" (and I'm not endorsing that), there's a smart way, and an irresponsible way, to do it. This certainly does appear to be the latter. The uncommonness of common sense is appalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 From what I've been reading this wasn't a normal production, or even a micro budget in the terms that we understand. It was the guy and two of his buddies and apparently they shot stuff out there on the train tracks for his blog all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Fitness videos shot on train tracks? Why? To inspire others to exercise on train tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikefilosa Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 There is another victim, too - the train engineer that has to witness this and also get embroiled in the havoc. MF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrider Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Why not an abandoned rail? They have kids doing match frame edits on their cell phones, so why not SFX? There is just so much wrong with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Darwinism. I have more sympathy for the poor train engineer that has to live with this. Hopefully they do not blame themselves, and are able to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomboom Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Why why why ? To be famous, make the headlines ("reality show" in their resume) Mission accomplished. +1 RPS & mikefilosa too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
