“Game recognise game.”

A FEW WEEKS ago, Tumblr user Samantha Gardella realised that Orange is the New Black film their outdoor scenes 25 minutes away from her house.

Unable to resist popping over, she drove over and snuck on to the set, snapping some photos along the way.

As you can see, she printed out photos of individual scenes and matched them against the backdrop of the set.

They’re pretty cool.

Gardella subsequently posted the photos on her Tumblr where they have been liked over 133,000 times and counting.

The show soon caught wind of Gardella’s antics and she received an e-mail from the legal department informing her that she was trespassing on New York State property and to kindly refrain from doing so again.

Yikes.

But it looks like they didn’t mind too much.

A few days ago, the show’s official Twitter account posted this.
