A WAREHOUSE.
The plan was to find a large warehouse, one that a forklift could easily drive through, and create a breakroom on the floor of the warehouse. We’d bring in a flat with windows that look out onto the warehouse floor…
…and another flat for the reverse—the wall opposite our windowed wall.
We found two warehouses, both incredible. This one’s called WAREHOUSE 5500.
And this one’s called ZODAX. But the more time we spent scouting these locations and looking at the photos, the more we realized we don’t need to literally be in one of these warehouses to be in one of these warehouses. All we need to do is shoot a background plate in 5500 or Zodax with the correct lighting and the correct camera angle. And if we do that, then we can build our breakroom on a soundstage, which would offer us even more control. We’ll also bring a forklift to the stage so it can drive by the breakroom windows.
