ve to start by saying that this premiere was both scary and obscure from the audience’s perspective. I arrived earlier than usual and could walk around to scout for the best spots to take photos and record video from.

Everything seemed easy in the beginning until the boulevard got packed with tourists and movie fans across the street from the Chinese Theatre. As you can see in the photos below the crowd got so big that it was almost impossible to move around. I could barely raise the tripod to put the camera above people’s heads, and things got a little hectic when I started hearing passersby screaming “move… keep moving.”

Today I went to the Hollywood Boulevard to document another movie premiere. This time the cast of the Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw took the spot light.

It was a hot summer afternoon with temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. I arrived an hour before the event and the boulevard was already packed with movie fans waiting for their favorite actors to get photos and autographs.

This month I had the opportunity to scout the rooftop of the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. It only took me a few minutes to do that. I had a plan to shoot some photo sequences during the day for an upcoming video but the afternoon was way too dark and cloudy. I ended up going back home after just a couple of hours waiting for the weather to get better, which never happened that day.

One of the most expected films of 2016 is finally here: The newest chapter of Captain America.

Marvel fans consider this production as an Avengers movie, however actor Chris Evans has said: “Even though there are a lot characters, the focus is on Steve and his struggle. Especially his struggle with Tony Stark…”

This video includes photo sequences from the Hollywood Boulevard, the Sunset Strip and the Hollywood Hills but we also included the Hollywood Tower, which was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1988. Each one of the areas came with its own set of difficulties.

I can attest that this was one of the most well-organized movie premieres I have been to. Police always rope off the area with makeshift barricades for crowd control and everyone is forced to watch red carpet events from across the street; however, this time the barricades were set up on the pavement a few feet from the street curb, which was ideal for people walking on the sidewalk.
