location ideas?

sineadw

Hi all. I'm finished college for the year and FINALLY have some time to shoot again. I've been maybe (?) offered a commission to do some promo shots for a band. Female singer, kinda rock stuff. Anyone any ideas for location? Dublin area...

Thanks

Maybe Temple Bar ... even with the music wall of fame in the background??

Masada

stevens green square is a good spot, theres also the quays and the IFSC, i like that new futuristic bridge at jurys on the quays., maybe even the bridge at queen street, i havent geen up to that one yet but its on my list.,

Anywhere with people is going to be hard to control, it can quickly turn into mayhem as soon as they see a camera. This might distract your band, maybe not.

How about somewhere more controllable? For some reason I immediately thought of an abattoir. I'm hungover, maybe that's why.

Abbatoir? Interesting! I wonder how I'd get access... anyone?

Bit of a bizarre hangover-related-thought though Hugh. *Backs away from computer nervously*



I'm thinking the same about crowds, but Queen street bridge could work? Maybe if I do it early enough. Although musicians and early starts don't generally go together. I suppose there's always the standing-in-front-of-graffiti-in-some-squalid-laneway option...

Abbatoir? Wouldn't go down well if they had Veggie fans now would it.

Anywhere down by James' Gate might be good. S'bit industrial/dark/gritty/gotham-esque. Less people about too. There's a gypsy camp down that way. They're actually nice enough people. Might let you use their site as a backdrop. Its not all caravans and sh it. Its small colourful cottage stylee buildings that could work well. Possibly.

As a rock band they will pobably want something gritty, what about some of the council estates like the one at the top of Stephens green or around dolphins barn.
