Probably the most profound and unifying minute of my life, atop Lakepoint Tower in Chicago on our scout in the fall of 2019, when for the first time in my life I saw as a showrunner how you could do anything.

What’s funny is almost nothing I say about how we’ll use this roof ends up being true in the story; in fact, we don’t even go to the roof, and for the sequence in the end we used the neighbors’ apartment. But the concept we needed was that Jeevan would get to a place where he could see in a different direction, not the lake. The idea is it would be this ice prison and impassable.

Then we really got up there, and it was this incredibly beautiful fall day, and I went over by Hiro and saw Chicago in the sun and it was one of the most beautiful things I’d ever seen. AND terrifying, given the height. And there he was with his camera, loving it.

Maybe what I learned more than anything that day was that the right people were up on that roof, and we were all the right kind of crazy.

The Scott Pilgrim trailer has left me really excited about what new Toronto locations are going to make it into the adaption. Pecaut Square?! In an anime?!? I haven’t been this excited since Mississauga City Hall showed up in Yuri on Ice!

(Then I realized some of the buildings in that Pecaut Square scene are too new to have been in the comic. Oops.)

My location wish list includes the Metro Convention Centre and the Ontario Place pods.

I think the pods are unlikely— they were recently used in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The Metro Convention Centre might happen, given it’s where the big local comic cons are held.

The big local anime con, Anime North, is mostly held at the Toronto Congress Centre. It’s a much less photogenic building and unlikely to appear. The con hotel, currently the Delta Toronto Airport, as a certain charm. A deep cut would be the old hotel, the dramatic and elegant Regal Constellation.

My hopes and dreams aside, I’ll probably do some location spotting threads as the anime comes out.

I wonder

If this would be adapted into a movie or series. It would be such a dream to find the ideal locations of this book.

Especially L’hôtel Castañeda

The New Elizabeth Line stations interiors are like something out of star wars. I can definitely see them using one of the new stations for a sci-fi movie

Some photos I took on a recent location scouting trip through in Ayr that I'm quite pleased with. I had a lot of fun on this trip, and visiting this little castle was a wonderful and spooky little adventure in itself.
