TFL Filming Restrictions


BONZA!



So we were about to get filming but there was a small complication.

Turns out that because I planned on uploading the footage online I need a professional fimling permit to film on the tube. The permit is £300 for two hours!

Well balls to that! We've got bigger and better plans....keep your eyes peeled!

I've pasted in the email from TFL film office...

Hi Ben

The student permit does not cover publishing items on the Internet – you will need to apply for the two hour £300.00 permit.

The two hour permit is only valid during the day between 10.00 – 15.30 hours.

With best wishes -
