Doctor Who fanfilm: Locations needed.
Calling all location scouts! I've gotten a little sidetracked these past couple of weeks, but I do still want to shoot my Doctor Who video. Here's where I need your help.
I'm going to need the following locations for filming my fan vid. There are some street shots, scenes in the woods, and other throwaway locations, but those I'm inclined to just shoot-and-run without bothering with permission. But these are locations I need to actually nail down.
Suggestions welcome. Offers even more welcome -- if your home or workplace would be suitable for any of these, please speak up. (So long as you're absolutely sure that having me and my little film crew come in won't get you in trouble with where you work or live. In other words, make sure you're in a position to actually grant permission.)
We need:
Office building interiors. Specifically, we need a cubicle we can film in, and a hallway with an elevator.
Parking garage. Needs to convincingly be the parking garage of the aforementioned office building, so while an apartment building's parking garage would probably be fine, it needs to have that "official" kind of look to it, if you know what I mean. If it comes down to it, I'll probably use the UW's parking garage -- they're used to LARPers and other weirdos.
Coffee shop. Shouldn't be too hard to come by in Seattle. (I'd ask Aurafice, since I've done so many readings there, but I'm looking for something with a more "mainstream" look.)
A workshop. This needs to be a fairly sizeable space that I can bring some fairly large props into. I'm thinking a clean, empty garage, or a loft-space of some kind. The script involves a scientist who's building a new energy source on his own time and resources, so this will be that workshop. I'm very flexible on what kind of space this is.
Convenience store parking lot. Again, probably a shot I can steal, but getting permission would be better. (ulrich?)
Urban setting -- TARDIS landing site. Might be kind of a tricky one to arrange .... The TARDIS, for those unfamiliar, is box a little bigger than a phone booth. I need somewhere in "the city" that the TARDIS can be parked. Ideally an alleyway or something like that, if anyone reading this works somewhere that has one out back .... Maybe a parking lot? Street outside a business? Wherever we can get permission for, really. Go nuts.
Rock pit, quarry, or something similar. For an alien planet scene, of course. Another tricky one. Filming here isn't going to be extensive, so a day trip would do it -- but still, somewhere reasonably close to Seattle. Oh, and we need to be able to drive a car out into the middle of it, too, so we need somewhere we can get permission to do that, or somewhere that won't care.
