The cyberpunk movie project

To find inspiration, I have started urban exploration in my neighborhood. It can be a way of experimenting an immersion into a world I will use in the movie.

Part of it will take place in a decay and grunge environment, perhaps even post-apocalyptic.

The main problem comes from the fact that such places are temporary and will no longer exist during the filming of the movie. Moreover, they can be dangerous for actors and equipment.
Nevertheless, through urban exploration, I can feel a specific atmosphere and see which details could be interesting for the decors' creation. It’s weird because in those environments you are very close to civilization, but when you are inside, you are disconnected of it and danger can be everywhere. All your senses are awoken. You can feel your instinct.

It’s a very interesting experience and some places are very esthetics although they are destroyed. In this post you can see some of photos we made.
