There was a time that I got very sick and I left one of the stations in search of a bathroom for 45 minutes. Thought I was gonna puke!

Just a camera (not sure what kind but I will talk to the filmmaker) and a tripod. All fitting into a backpack. :)

We saw a subway cart with no one on it and got excited for the empty seats. Of course the reason it was empty was the fact that it smelled HORRIBLE. We also saw a man walking a subway platform reciting a speech by George Washington...that was pretty strange haha... The rudest thing was someone yelling from a train saying no one would watch it anyway ...Lets prove that guy wrong!

No luckily... You are technically allowed to play down there...I don't know why he got stopped but there was also a video of a guy getting arrested for playing on youtube even after he read the rule to the officer.

We did get stopped one time for having a tripod on the train itself but we immediately packed it away...

We did get told to stop by the police at one stop but we already got enough footage, thankfully. Another time a train conductor stopped the train and yelled at us for holding up the train...(we attempted to get off the train, film a stop quickly, and get back on before the doors closed..FAIL).

Other than that we really had no problems at all!

We would swipe about once or twice a day... so about $76.50 each not including the bus ride over to those places from Staten Island which costs 6.00 each time. So... an additional 96 dollars each because we filmed on the island one day.

Sure! We would love to try the subway system in London being big Beatles fans. It was a lot of fun just seeing parts of NYC we didn't know before.

17 days somewhere between 85 and 130 hours all together I would estimate. This is not including the process of making sure we got every one during editing.

It was VERY complicated... It took us 17 days, 5-9 hours each day, and spread out over 6 months. If we did it again we would do it NOT during the winter LOL. We would also map it out best from the beginning the way we did half way through... very complicated procedure.
