Chaise Abandoned



(^ A seemingly odd shot that I thought deserved it's own post! )

The Outer Limits

Here are a selection of pictures taken from in the forests behind the hospital... I do apologize for the somewhat blurred picture or two...


(^ An old outpatient building ?)


(^ A seemingly new trailer/building that cointained nothing more than some aged wood and an Enter sign.)


(^ What appeared to be a flooded storage unit.)


(^ A shot of the clearing behind the hospital, with an old acess road.)

Production Notes 6/10/06







(Above) A Selection of favorite pictures from the shoot.

Today we returned to the hospital with some old friends in tow. Upon arrival, we made a close call with a passive cop cruiser, and we ended up trekking around some large dirt mounds and into the woods. We found ourselves in the outer regions of the eastern building, parallel to the cruiser. We stalked the back-woods, looking in to what appeared to be an old storage bin, and later some run-down and now decrepit old staff buildings. We traced out steps back to the side of the east building, and followed the wall to the back of the building, to avoid detection. When we failed to find a usable way in, we returned to the now un-watched main entrance. From there we filmed again in the side court-yard, and then made the discover of a small opening into the apprently un-tocuhed autoclave room. We recovered a few artifacts, and as the sun slowly broke through the rain clouds, we moved out.
