Location Selects

Miles House

Here's a house for Mile's. It looks like its in a neighborhood and its modest. I'm diggin' it. I'm going to shoot this location tighter so it feels like its in a tighter neighborhood.


The Pershing Hall Building in the presidio can work for miles's Bedroom, Living Room, and. I like the dinginess of it. We are going to have to dress the hell out of it. I'm specifically thinking of this room for the Living Room.

We can make the adjoining room his bedroom.

In order to save locations we can nix Miles's breakfast nook location. I have him writing in his journal there but we can have him do that in his living area.

For the exterior of Miles's house, we can go pick up and exterior. We need some choices for that. I'm thinking of something very modest with a lawn.

Al's Restaurant

Original Joe's is still my first choice. The place is sweet. But's Al's is great, too. If I had my druthers, I'd go with Joe's, but if that puts a strain on logistics, I can go with Al's. While Joe's looks great it also has a lot room to move the camera around and go on long lenses. Al's looks a little more cramped but we can make it work. Of course, for the exterior shot, Al's works fantastic.

Ellen's Home

For Ellen's home I like apartment 2.
Apartment 2 has a bright homely look. I like the colored walls. My only concern is that it looks tight in there and it doesn't have the suburban house look, but that's probably out of the question right?... going into a suburban house?

Here's a couple of examples of suburban living rooms. A little more expansive.

As an alternate, we could shoot all of the home shots in the Presidio's Pershing Hall building, but I'd want to paint walls and to give the homes a different feel. I'd also need to cover up the red rug (the color is death for video as well as it kicks off a bunch of red light which looks bad). We'll be seeing the floor in Ellen's shots. The need to differentiate the rooms might create enough work to warrant a company move to another location.

Library

I love the the 24th Street Branch.

The high vaulted ceilings are great although, we might be shooting in the intimate reading areas in the other parts of the building. In any case, this branch offers us some great choices.

School

Of the choices I like the Jonathon Swift School.
The hallways with the children's art is nice. That'd be a cool place to shoot the hallway scene.

Is the Galileo school out of the question? Its relatively close to the presidio. I just remember walking through the halls there and thinking, "man, this would be a great place to shoot."

Park

I like the park options. There is a park in the presidio on West pacific blvd. It has a jungle gym. That will keep us in the presidio if we need to run over and get those shots. Just wanted to throw that out there. It also has a nice look.

As for the parks scouted I like Alta Plaza.
It has a jungle gym for the granddaughter to play on and nice surrounding grass areas.
