DURING INTRO NARRATION, START WITH SHOT OF BATTERY STEELE, HAVE SHOT OF ALEJANDRO AND I LOOKING AT GOOGLE MAPS “FINDING THE BEST WAY TO GET THERE”, AND INCLUDE AUDIO, AND DURING INTRO NARRATION, FEATURE SHOTS OF WALKING TO BATTERY STEELE, AND INTERJECT SHOTS OF OTHER PLACES, BEFORE ENDING AT COVER SHOT.

OR HAVE BACKSEAT DRIVING POV, SHOW SOME OF AN ABANDONED PLACE, ME PUTTING LENS ON CAMERA AND GETTING SET UP, SHOW ANOTHER ABANDONED PLACE, AND KEEP GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN B-ROLL AND ABANDONED PLACES WHILE NARRATION STARTS.

“I’ve always been fascinated by abandoned places. Not just because of the the history, or… the lives that existed in these walls...

The Japanese call it Wabisabi - the beauty in the flawed and the imperfect, in the broken and the destroyed. There’s just something about places that have… been left behind…”
