A game of thrones
Word
of mouth reached our editor that part of this series
was being filmed at the foothills of Benevenagh. He instantly
dispatched his favourite photographer to try and take a picture in
order to illustrate this article.
The poor man arrived at the
crossroad to St Canice's church, where he was instantly accosted by a
security guard who informed him that not only did the film company own
the copyright to the looks of their caravans, they did in fact own the
copyright to everything.
As the term 'Everything' includes all of Benevenagh and the universe that contains it, our poor photographer instantly
realised that he was out of a job. So he smashed his camera and went
home.
|He had in fact taken a picture, but the editor decided that a
company
as rude as this one didn't deserve a picture. Hence the photograph above
is from last year's shooting of a 'Dracula' film in the Country Park
in
Limavady. That company had quite rightly told our man that whatever he
photographed from a public road was his own affair.
One can't help wondering though if the throne games company has ever thought of going into advertising or being nice to locals!
