| | | So I haven't posted here in several months, because I'm working on a film project, which, is actually what has led me here. The team I'm with is working on a Star Wars fan film. When I say that, I say that hopefully with the understanding that I don't call a couple of kids swinging "lightsabers" at each other for ten minutes a proper fan film - we're raising the standard much higher than that (more in the Movies section if/when you feel like checking that out) The reason I'm posting here, however, is that we're in the process of figuring out whether we want to build our own sets, or possibly shoot on location...somewhere. What we're looking for pretty much cries out for some place abandoned, but not so forsaken that our actors run the risk of falling through a floor or some other tragedy. Pretty much what we'd need is an out of the way area with lots of concrete structures with that familiar run-down feel. I've been looking into Gopher Munitions at UMore Park, as well as a few generic underpasses in lowertown St. Paul, but we're also considering other options, should they become available. I'm wondering if anybody here has come across any other locations in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas that might possibly work? We're looking to go through legal channels, so I'm not asking anyone to break anonymity here, though if you wanted to serve as a sort of guide to warn the cast and crew of any inherent dangers within the location (should we choose to look into it further), that would also be appreciated.

| | | We're professionals, actually. We're just shooting a fan film. Full-length. Concept artists, animatics, VFX guys, lighting guys, costume guy, fight choreographers, MUAs, sound guys, set builders, a storyboard artist, composer...and more. We research the location first (finding out who to talk to in terms of setting up a liaison, setting one up, and touring the grounds/looking for potential hazards), then determine what logistics we'd need. I'm just searching for locations to research.

| ulands is good. if you can set up your crew within a 12 hour drive 1 week on site, sunflower ammunition depot in east kansas would be even better. https://www.flickr...-72157621663998981https://www.flickr...-72157621663998981https://www.flickr...-72157621663998981https://www.flickr...-72157621663998981https://www.flickr...-72157621663998981
| If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public! If you want to make exploring friends, send people private messages! Meet up in real life! Get off the internet! Don't try to have a UER e-penis! You won't impress anyone! This especially means you, Minneapolis MN newbies! |

| | | Posted by EatsTooMuchJam The port of Minneapolis isn't exactly abandoned, but it's pretty run-down/rusty and it might not be too hard to get permission to film there since it's rarely busy.
| Wait, that's *not* abandoned? I stumbled across that place when I used to deliver pizza in Mpls a few years ago (sometimes if it was slow, I'd just joy ride around) and got a picture of the place, but never knew what it was and forgot where it is. Sadly, I've managed to develop some mental health issues and had to remove myself from the project, and it was decided that one of the guys is going to be partitioning a 80'x12'x20' section of a horse arena on his property for building a set, anyway, so on-location isn't happening. Less cool/fun, but less red tape, too. Thanks for the suggestions, though. (I'll have to check out that place in Kansas if I'm ever down that way)
