I took a location recce day today, up over a village/area called Golcar, in Huddersfield.
It’s for a narrative video for a death metal band that I’m filming on Friday.
I wanted a desolate, lifeless, harsh and alien looking landscape - I think we found it.
It’s a disused stone quarry, which apparently (according to my guide/pal) supplied almost all the stone to the local area over the last 60 years or so.
After they couldn’t get any more stone out of it, it quickly became a spot for dirt bikers and such.
Those activities got slowly shut down for some reason over the years and it’s now just an unused soggy mess.
It should be a perfect setting for some foul hooded creatures to shuffle their way along the landscape in search of their victim.
Bleak stuff, but there will be enjoyment in there somewhere.
I just hoping it doesn’t utterly piss it down with rain on the shoot day.
(it will won’t it?)
