| | | That's the one thing I never got, if you're so into exploring, then I find it impossible to understand how you always need to lurk on forums to find people willing to do a documentary with. Shit if anyone here was a student making a film, they could call up about 10 people who would be ready and willing. When you are in this community, chances are you're a photographer as well. You shouldn't have to go out trying to find cool shit to film, you should already have the footage you need or know where you can get some. If either of these things aren't the case, apparently so since you're here, then you are in no place to document real explorers while they do their thing. Work on yourself first and you'll find that you won't need to beg any strangers for help. That being said, Instagram is full of vanity seeking ryerson students who will take you up the latest rooftop for 10$, go ask one of them.

| | | Posted by blaekly I think this is often because the best explorers don't make for the best videographers and the best videographers don't make for the best explorers. They are different types of people looking to get different things out of the same experience.

That is absolutely true, I almost never take video and I'm definitely in no position to make a movie. However my point is, countless people have approached me about doing documentaries, and it's never been for the right reasons. Unless you have spent a lot of time skulking around or studying your urban environment, you are just going to make it look stupid. This isn't me being toxic for no reason, I've seen at least a dozen dogshit 'documentaries' that focus on the explorer as well as the location that simply make everything about urban exploration look careless, flashy and dumb. Search up "urban exploration documentary" on youtube, cbc and vimeo and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. It bothers me because the general public see's this stuff and forms a poor opinion on the community without knowing a single person in it. I've ran into totally random people and explored places with them, I have 0 animosity towards newcomers. However, when it comes to the media and film students, I'm generally pretty sketched out.
