We all ask ourselves "What if...? What if I had a million dollars? What if I could live the rest of my life in Tuscany? What if I were given a raw space in Manhattan to do with whatever I wanted? Okay so it's more like fantasizing. But you get the idea. This Manhattan raw space comes with several floors. As I was wandering around my head was spinning with possibilities. First, it's uber spacious. Second, the windows are big and in some cases floor to ceiling. Third and this seals the deal, there is an incredible rooftop with a view of the Empire State Building. At this point my "what if" kicks into high gear. Can I have a deck, lots of trees, maybe a small plot of grass, lots of chaise lounges and what are we gonna do with that exquisitely beautiful dome shaped thingy. As you can imagine, my
"what ifs" grew from there. What if there is inclement weather but I still want to be on the rooftop. How great would it be to create an enclosure that still takes advantage of the view?
I think my tour guide had to rouse me out of my fantasy. Oh, this isn't my beautiful place to do with whatever I want? Oh, I am here to talk about how this can be used for a shoot of some kind. Okay, I can do that kind of "what if". What if you use it as a back drop for some fabulous haute couture clothing. Throw in a few props, lean the model against one of the pillars or near the wide floor to ceiling windows. Or a chase scene a la "Law and Order" up the stair wells to the rooftop where the bad guy hides in the dome thingy. You can play "what if" by viewing Location N001 under photo albums.
