Locations

When thinking about where I want to film my video I had to consider a few things.

I wanted the city to be visible clearly, where I could fit the Tornado into the frame and not too many things in the way so it doesn't cause too much trouble when editing. 

And also I didn't want it to be close enough so there are people in the shot. Because it wouldn't look very realistic/believable if there would be people casually walking across the streets with a huge tornado ripping the building right next to them.

The solution is to film from roofs of buildings and avoid streets and pathways. 

I know a few places with a nice view of our Leeds skyline. But not all of them are suitable. 

I like this view, but it's a little far, there is an abandoned building a little closer to town, my friend promised to accompany me there and film from the roof of it ^^

He was kind enough to lend me some of his photographs to show what it looks like etc c:

This is the abandoned building...

And that's the view from the top of it c:

With Leeds skyline there is only one problem... there isn't many tall buildings around, it might be something I will need to model. Just like they did in The Day After Tomorrow.
I think it might be better than using existing buildings when it comes to animating the damage.
