Prison Break Courtroom Set / Balloons
Inga and I went downtown last Tuesday and stopped by the Chicago Cultural Center. Through a conversation struck up with a security guard, we learned that a courtroom scene for the upcoming season of 'Prison Break' was being filmed in one of the rooms upstairs. We didn't see any actors, but we did see some of the crew filling these balloons (photos below) just outside the courtroom set. When we passed through later, the balloons were completely round like a weather balloon and had a metal cylinder at the base. I don't know if the balloons are some sort of aerial microphone set-up or to bounce the lights off for effect. Interesting...
