@NBCSNF is looking for people to tweet them suggestions of places to film in Seattle so that they can have more than the typical fish throwing/ space needle footage of Seattle. I'm sure you guys know some great places they could shoot.

Here's a link to the tweet that started it so you can see what's been listed. If you don't have Twitter and you want to suggest something, let me know and I'll do it.

Great idea by NBC... the nation must think everyone in Seattle is a professional fish-slinger by now

The idea was from a guy on the seahawks subreddit. Shockingly, @NBCSNF tweeted back saying it's a good idea.

What kind of film making? I'm a bit of a filmmaker myself and it really depends on what you want. There are plenty of places in Washington, more specifically The Pacific Northwest that would be great for all sorts of filming projects.

Someone tweet them a picture of someone smoking a joint?

No Twitter for me, so help away please.

They will do the Pike Place Market fish thing anyway, so change it up. Players and or hot wives or GF, Seagals. Maybe throw a Lingcod instead of a salmon, just different.

Focus on the Seagals, there are some smoking hot girls this year and I swear they must have 20 different outfits, get all of them on film and pick the best to showcase.

Do a special on the stadium design itself when it's empty and do film-work anywhere they will let them go. Special in on the design that makes it the loudest place to play in the NFL, indoors or outdoors, period.

Special in on the Hawks draft class. What looked pretty bad to some in the beginning now looks almost none better.

Pick some of the better bars and or tailgating if the weather is good to focus in on. This will have to be done on game-day so it needs to be shot early to get editing done for airttime. Get some one with local knowledge to get them past the North Lot.

Here's a good one. Follow some of the Hawk die hards from south end zone from the start of their day with no makeup until they get to the stadium for the traditional go here go there until they get to their seats. Jeff and Dee Dee, Jeff Kaffum (sp?), any of the hardcores from the south end would do but I am sure Jeff and Dee Dee would agree.


That's what I got for now, hope some of work out.

GO HAWKS!!!

Maybe they should show some of that dubstep video with the stadium lights?

Ferries on Puget Sound on a sunny day with the snow capped Olympics in the background!! You see that one on rare occasions and it's one of my favorites.
.

Oh wait, a "sunny day" in December? Uh, never mind.
.
.
.

OK seriously, if we actually get one or there's some file footage....

Show some of our famous nw microbreweries. The U-District. Orca's in the San Juans. Sailboats on a sunny day. Lake Washington.

I know, show scenes from Seafair, the Blue Angels, the hydros racing by.

I dont have twitter. Suggest these please:

The Fremont Troll

View from Golden Gardens or Alki Beach (Alki at night is amazing)

The Big Wheel

Pioneer Square w fans or bars hosting rival fans

Seattle Best Coffee w fans at Pike Market

The Blue Trees downtown/Christmas tree and carousel

Monorail(?)

They can make it look 90's outside during the game if they want to. I know this first hand. I was the judge at the finish line of the 100 yard dash during the 1980 Special Olympics in Los Angeles. The day was terrible weather. It didn't rain, it poured. Nothing but clouds and it was as dismal and gray as any day in Seattle.

On the television was Bob Griese "coming to you from Los Angeles for the Special Olympics" and the skies were sunny and blue, looked like you should be on the beach tanning. There I was at the finish line of the race as the wheel chairs sped past, signalling the winner. No rain, no clouds, beautiful day.

So they can show whatever they want.

I think the mountains look great in the winter and trust me a lot of people down south here have never seen snow. Snoqualmie comes to mind. Get some video of people skiing/snowboarding and kids intertubing. You could also get a great video of the falls.

You guys have 3 military bases over there. I think it would be cool if they showed some shots of McChord, Ft. Lewis, and Bangor. Maybe have some soldiers say hello or whatever.

The Space Needle, fish throwing, ferry shots need to stop.

I was going to say the Fremont Troll, but Atradees beat me to it. It is really a cool looking sculpture and a pretty cool story about renovating and reclaiming the area.

Fremont Troll, of course

the Pacific Science Center arches

That center walkway area of McCaw Hall and people waiting to go in to see PNB's The Nutcracker

the Top Pot next to the monorail

The line of people outside Salumi on "Oxtail Day" (or any day, I suppose)

a shot of the stadium looking down from the B of A building

the library

City Hall

Kurt's Park

a plane landing on/taking off from Lake Union

Christmas boat parade

Underground Seattle

The Gold Rush Museum

Hing Hay Park, with the morning exercise group

-Sorry, I don't tweet.

Tweeted the mountains and the JBLM

Tweeted plan landing idea, arches, troll, the line of people and a shot from B o A.

being from outside the area, I'd like to hear/see more about.....
(not on twitter...make it so please)

1) EMP
2) Queen Anne section / history
3) Christmas boat parade
4) House boats
5) floating bridge
6) Bigfoot
7) Key arena - haha

How about the Woodinville wineries... like Ste. Michelle and Columbia.

Mount Si is another.

So they can show whatever they want.

The technology is not quite there yet to do something like that live. It can be done in post, though not easily.

A shot of the shipyard at Bremerton, from the water? Probably a lot safer than trying to film Bangor... Plus there's lots of carriers parked next to each other.

Snoqualmie Falls?

Boeing Field, with all the half-painted planes?

A shot of Seattle while arriving on a ferry, showing the giant ferris wheel?

Film Bill Gates' house from a moving boat on Lake Washington. Nevermind; it would take too long.

The whole time lapse starting and stopping while driving and showing local sites would be cool.

Instead of a shot of the Space Needle, how about a shot back toward the stadium from the Space Needle's observation deck.

How about the Sound Garden (at Gasworks Park isn't it?) or Snoqualmie Falls?

(I don't Twitter....Tweet? either...)

Just an overhead shot of the city showing how green it is....never seen its like in all the cities I've seen out in this wide world!

I tweeted the link to this thread. I'm excited to see where this can go.

There was a Christmas light special on last night with a beautiful display out of Seattle. I dont know where it is but im sure some of the locals do.

Blake island tillicum village with all the native american culture would be pretty sweet.
No twitter for me either.

Snoqualmie Falls, pretty spectacular this time of year. Plus, you guys know why these mountains are called the Cascades right? If you don't and you live here, look it up.

Mt. Si is also quite spectacular this time of year when it's all covered with snow.

The Mt. Rainier gondola at Crystal Mt. The view of Mt. Rainier from the top of the gondola is amazing. I think it would be pretty cool if they filmed the whole ride from the bottom to the top in the gondola and then sped it up so the whole ride was shown in ten seconds (or whatever). Hope that makes sense.

The view of Seattle from, Alki, Queen Anne hill, Gasworks park, a ferry, etc.

Because the game is two days before Christmas, some footage of the Snowflake Lane show in Bellevue.

A montage of Christmas lights/Christmas scenes from downtown or other areas. Leavenworth is pretty cool all lit up and snowy.

Mt. St. Helens was a pretty big deal about 30 years, some aerial footage of that.

The Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit is really frickin cool. http://www.chihulygardenandglass.com

Museum of Flight, Experience Music Project.


I don't have Twitter...

Not sure what day the NBC crew arrives, but I would imagine they could contact KING5 for some awesome local shots they have archived through the years.

Just a thought, NBC. Use the resources you have at your disposal.

I don't get the dislike for the Market, Ferries, Space Needle, they are cultural landmarks here just like the St Louis Arch, and the Beaches in Miami. We can throw some of the other things in sure, but it's about indentity here and Recognition. Our area secrets in my opinion let them stay that way, don't need anymore migrations up here.

you guys realize thats not the real sunday night football twitter right? heres the real one.... https://twitter.com/SNFonNBC

They should go to an area where they can see where the Seahawks get the green in their uniforms.

TTT

Fiim the farm in Issaquah where the dude mated with the horse.

Jimi Hendrix

Military Bases

Local institutions of higher learning

Some of the lesser famous people that come from the PNW.

Yeah, just taking shots of the city from different angles, directions etc. would do wonders. Always the same damn city shots over and over. Been that way for years and years.

show the rain which is non-stop from October to the end of May!
