"Get what you need and then get the hell out"

Just got word that a film production company is going to be shooting "pick-up" shots for the movie "Butter" soon at the Iowa State Fair. Pick-up shots, for those unfamiliar with the term, are quick location shots to insert into the rest of the footage. The rest of the footage for this movie is being shot in Louisiana because of the Iowa film credits evaporating after being Culverized. It was originally planned to shoot it in Iowa.

That now makes two films that logically should have been shot here but weren't: "Butter" which concerns the butter cow at the fair, and "Cedar Rapids" which, although its story location is Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was actually shot in Ann Arbor, Michigan with only "pick-up" shots (quick establishing shots) actually being shot in its namesake city.
