insert any European watching Eurotrip, where London, Paris, Amsterdam and Rome are all shot in Prague

They probably didn't even record any sounds when they shot the scene.
There's a few reasons for this, firing the real siren on set is not practical due to the audio levels, they could maybe record it separately but that's an extra thing to do, and why bother when "air_raid_siren_004.wav" is right there? Also audiences are used to "air_raid_siren_004.wav" and they'll know immediately what it's supposed to be, if you played the real sounds and it's too unusual, it'll make the audience think about it and take them out of the story. There's so much stuff like this I'm filmmaking where if you stop to think about it critically for a second it doesn't make sense, but that's the point they don't want you thinking about that, they want you thinking about the story and the characters. I know that's frustrating when it's your topic but I'm sure you're glad they do it like this in any other case.
That is a wild ride, that felt all too familiar. I do not miss getting myself into these kinds of hijinks.
Yeah if you travelled "all the way to Europe for pizza" and selected Amsterdam as your destination you're just a fool haha.
GPS seems like one of the rare technologies that is working just fine as it is and hasn't been fucked with yet, can we just keep it at that for once in our lives?
I have a powerful computer for my work with a 3090, i9 etc. I still prefer gaming on the Xbox, it's in the living room, it doesn't bother me with driver issues, CPU overheating, and other random bugs I get on the big machine, and it's in the living room where I'm also spending the time with my family rather than stuck in my cave upstairs.
Altavista baby.
Hmm that's interesting... Let me know if you find it again, would you be interested in converting it in a short film script?
Not one mention of WoW anywhere in this article or this thread, I find that at least somewhat surprising!
I hear you! I work in the field and felt like giving context, it's hard to know what's common knowledge and not sometimes. The main point is, a lot of this stuff isn't "mistakes" but either deliberate so as not to distract or just way more convenient for the production pipeline.
