Abandoned Strip Club/Lounge

Was working on a short film in an abandoned restaurant, and on a break I decided to take my camera on a tour around the rest of the building. I thought I was going to see either a hobo, dead body, or a zombie from 28 weeks later.

Pretty creepy and beautiful.

I have no idea why it was abandoned, but they just like left everything all over the place. The song is Convivium by Helios

That was sick, a lot of people accidentaly use that floaty glidecam style in edits, but you did agreat job of developing it and making it useful. The song fits really well to.

Very cool. I'd be wicked scared of squatters too.

I thought of the possibility of coming across a squatter, I thought that might even make a better video. Thankfully I am in pretty good shape and feel I could outrun a hobo. We also had a security guard, although he didn't leave his chair outside.

That was sick, I've always wanted to just go and explore abandoned places like that but I've never gotten the chance.

Hit up FUCK. on here he'd probably ski with you.  I would, but i'm in SE Asia for the next couple months.  If you're skiing grouse after the Y2plays go on sale for next year I might be around too though!  If not just go up grouse or seymour and you'll find some kids to ski with, without a doubt.   By the way, that was sick.  I would love to head out there one night.  If you're interested in this kind of shit, I do know an abandoned movie set of a small town right on the water which has multiple buildings that you can go into and stuff too.  I went in there with a group of like 15 people and all the sudden there was some huge banging on the other side of the door we were in front of and we BOOKED.  The cops came too cause some kids were driving around forklifts that had the keys left in them and generally just being stupid, not my friends.  PM me if you'd be interested in checking it out.  It's in the Dollarton highway area near deep cove.

Same spot as you. I'm a first year at UBC; I've gotten a Whistler pass and a Seymore pass, so I'll be at Whis Fri-Sun and Seymore midweek when I can. (At least, that's the plan.)
