Leaflets

Whenever a location shoot is scheduled in a public space, the private, non-profit organization Film L.A., Inc. places these labels on or near the areas affected. Film L.A. Inc. coordinates and processes filming permits for on-location motion picture, television and commercial production in the Los Angeles region.

And sometimes our neighborhood is so covered with these things it looks like a military aircraft dropped propaganda leaflets. As mentioned before, this area is used for the production of thousands film and TV productions. (See Grey's Anatomy and CSI:NY)

Though at times these ubiquitous notices resemble litter, they do serve an important purpose to local residents. Without them, the late night explosions, flood lights and car chases would seem a bit odd.
