To start off only 10 of the 20 people who said they would showed up. We took positions throughout the Water Tower Mall in Chicago. We alerted staff at the mall and got the security guard’s attention which allowed us to become even more convincing. We had a celebrity playing Emma Watson and two bodyguards enter. Our two paparazzi(s?) followed, and our planted fans joined in following her.

I tried to both film to create this —-> http://vimeo.com/5878516 and text Mya/Emma guiding her through the mall. With the large swarm of people following her, it became hard to get ahead of her. A security guard made me stop filming, so I had to pull the whole “pretend-you’re-talking-on-the-phone-when-actually-you’re-filming” stunt.

We had a good 30-40 people on each of the 7 floors swarming, which seemed to make the mission a huge success.

Enjoy. http://vimeo.com/5878516

I headed down to film the event last friday, but missed the train. Ended up driving down, but missed the meeting. The group of 40-50 people became split between a 12 and 1 o’clock freeze. Unfortunately, at least at the 1pm freeze, a decent scene wasn’t caused, and my footage came out fairly shitty for the most part. Here though I present to you a highlight reel from various agents including myself.
