What are you trying to do? As long as you don't have a big rig with lights and a shotgun mic, then you should be good. I've walked around Philly and NYC and see plenty of people shooting video everywhere with gimbals and even tripods sometimes... although I wouldn't recommend that. The key is to look like a tourist and find locations where there aren't many people passing by, or it's so busy, people don't even look twice at you because you look like a tourist. And be prepared to move to a different location if you have to. Philip Bloom, hardly a narrative filmmaker, but his use of super long lenses gives him the freedom to be a little far from the talent. Separation between camera and talent can be a good thing if you're trying to steal shots. -

The Guerilla Film Makers series of guides is getting on a bit but offers some solid insights into zero budget that are still very relevant. https://guerillafilm.com/books/ -
Elements of The French Connection and The Day Of The Jackal (original version) were shot were shot guerrilla style without permission. Escape From Tomorrowland was shot completely surreptitiously inside Disney theme parks. Of course Chubby Rain* is a classic of the genre where even its star Kit Ramsey was unaware a movie was being made around him. Chubby Rain* also established the principle that without deduction, profit percentage, deferment, ten percent of the nut then, for cash, every movie costs $2,184 to make. * Obviously a bit tongue in cheek but Bowfinger is a great movie that does offer the proposition that if you want to do it then do it.

Can you think of any narrative films that were shot with natural lighting minimal crews in busy areas/cities? I’m doing some research for an upcoming zero-budget project, trying to figure out a solid approach to the aesthetics. I really want to get out of a locked set for this one.
