Not playing guitar and not on a stage

[JerryR]

Just curious, Jerry... why is the ground covered with metal plates?

So the clog dancers can't sneak up on people?

In the absence of a definitive answer from Jerry, it could be done as a way to protect an area from wear due to increased foot traffic or to help keep costumes cleaner. Except for the two trailer like structures, it reminds me of the things filmmakers to do make a modern road surface appear to have a surface from an earlier age. Laying down some kind of barrier and then covering it with the desired surface is usually the way to go. using a barrier makes things easier to clean up when filming is over and protects the modern surface from things that might possibly require a repair to be made.

Frono is right (yet again) :mrgreen:

The area I'm standing in in the photo is by the old Naval Museum in Greenwich - and all the tents for makeup, costume, and restrooms trailers (you can see two of those in the photo) were there and the plates covered most of the area protecting the grass including inside the tented areas. On the other side of the road, in the Royal Naval College grounds was the set for 'London' used in the early scenes - and that had sheets covered with earth in the road area - plus lots of genuine horse sh*t as there were a lot of horse drawn vehicles in the filming. If you see the film, the big panorama of London with St Pauls cathedral and minus the skyscrapers was just a blue screen when I was filming
