CUT TO: TITLE CARD: "SAME ROADS, SAME RIGHTS, SAME RULES." LOCATIONS Spot 1: We can stage all the various shots around the downtown area. Mainly High St. and Spruce St. Spot 2: The establishing shot we can shoot downtown. I'd then like to shoot the 4-way at the Green St./Arch St. intersection. Spot 3: We could perform this entire spot on High St. Spot 4: I'd like to do this one at the Wharf District on Clay St. Spot 5: Prospect St. seems like the perfect place for this. Spot 6: The 4-way stop we can reuse Green St. For the parking lot I'd like to use the one on Chestnut St. with the mural. Spot 7: This can be done on Parkview Dr. We also need a "base camp" during our production. A place we can hold actors, regroup, eat lunch, etc. I think Wamsley's wold make sense as this place, but let me know if there might be a better location for this. CAST I think we need to see the following "cyclists" throughout the spots. The shirt and tie 9-5er, the college student, the cycling enthusiast, and the casual bike rider. I'm not saying we only need four cyclists now, but I'd like to represent each one of these groups at least once throughout the spots. I don't feel it makes a difference which spot which biker is in, and this will make things easier on casting and scheduling. If possible I would like to see the various cyclists in places that might be out of their element. The casual biker downtown, for example. I think this will help people understand that cycling is for everyone, everywhere. Also, if possible, I'd like to have a parent/child cycling duo. MISC. Lastly, I think we should set Sunday, June 6th as our shooting day. Nothing set in stone, but we can use this date as a goal and begin to gather our cast and letting the police and other authorities know our plan.
