It’s almost like they live there and own cars for longer than 6 months
This is probably dependent on location, but IME they close street parking for filming.
They may close streets but it makes sense to save money to just film the cars that are there if they're just doing a short wide shot of the street.
Seems like overkill to hire 20 cars just to fill a street for a TV show if its a single establishing shot. Although no doubt they would do that for any scene being taken from multiple angles for continuity.
I've also seen them slap fake number plates on parked cars. E.g. when they were filming in Metro Vancouver area, for some US movie/TV show, they put California plates on all local cars that were parked on streets/driveways
Yeah, definitely depends on how much/if they care about randoms moving about the scene.
That’s true for the filmings that happened in my street. But they didn’t go to the extent of asking to remove the cars from the driveways. Side note: it’s actually very annoying having a filming crew at your street. When they’re filming, you can’t go outside or leave your own house, and you can’t come home. At least they don’t close down for long.
