Sammy Skillz · #1 (**permalink**) Jun 02, 03

i'm trying to find a location for a shoot i want to do. i'm looking for a building rooftop...preferably high up, overlooking some sort of city scape.

anyone know of any buildings or do you have access to rooftops etc? any help would be greatly appreciated

let me know if you'd like to use it or the space itself...

yeah that would be pretty hype. but can you go on the roof? does it even have an actual roof?

yea it's a close family friend. he's like the steam engineer for the roof or something like that and he's like 2nd from the highest at he place...so he has access to the whole building. And you can go on the roof. it's like a hard trampoline orsomething..and you an still walk on it and everything. i've never been up but he always says whenever i want to i can...so just let me know. my brother was up there recently and he took some pictures so next time i see you i can bring them to give you an idea of the view etc.

sure. sounds hype. thanks!

no problem. just let me know. and you could use the inside and the roof i'm sure which is cool, cause it's liek having the whole stadium to yourself. here's some pictures

holy crap! So you can walk directly on the white part? Is there like a catwalk there or something, or is it just like a giant balloon?

oFFseT · #13 (**permalink**) Jun 02, 03

Yea you can walk all over the white part! It's like a tramploine and you can jump on it and everything, i think it's a bit more solid though.

what do you mean by catwalk?

KenJi · #14 (**permalink**) Jun 02, 03

he means a walkway like something flat and wooden to walk across the roof. At least i believe he means that.

like a catwalk would be under the roof at gm place, for people to do cieling work and shit

oFFseT · #15 (**permalink**) Jun 02, 03

oooohhh i see. umm i'm not totally sure on that one...but as far as i know it's just a roundish hump...but when your up there...the sections aren't as rounded as they look.

Sammy Skillz · #17 (**permalink**) Jun 03, 03

BC Place would be crazy, but if that doesn't work out, she ^^ might be able to help?

MistressSpankME · #23 (**permalink**) Jun 03, 03

A photographer I work with has access to a roof with a great veiw of the water.. its nothing compared to BC place, but it's always an option if you need it.

MistressSpankME · #24 (**permalink**) Jun 03, 03

at least I think it overlooks the water at one point..? haha

hahahaha i don't know how the family member would feel about that. as in bomb on the roof? cause that would be most likely a no. cool if it could happen...but i don't think he'd be to happy with me at all :)
