From his website, which is worth looking at BTW.

That looks like the LA river.

 

follow the LA river near downtown LA
Its one of the bridges.
A most often used bridge for location shoots similar to your pix is the 6th street bridge above Santa Fe Avenue. Movies such as Transformers, SWAT, Fast & the Furious etc.

 

I thought so but was trying to figure out how exactly to get to the location.

Thank you.

 

Looks like Gotham City

 

That's the wrong vehicle in the photo. It was supposed to be a VAN down by the river!

 

That is not a photo. It is an artist's rendering of the planned remodel of El Camino shopping center in Woodland Hills. (home of VCR).

 

Ronnie, where've you been? I thought you might have relocated to Dallas after watching the opening game in the new stadium!

 

Jon, i believe this is the LA River bed between the two bridges on fourth and sixth street, LA. The photos have been photoshopped but if you go to google earth and type in 1280 E. 4th Street, LA you can bring up photo images that show both bridges...

 

Although not everyone follows this advice, I have been told by a veteran automotive photographer that if you are planning on doing a photoshoot in that area, do 2 things:

1. Get a permit from LA City
2. Ensure personal security (apply discretion here)

Thank you so much.

Sounds like great advice, thanks.

 

Can you imagine what the drivers in those cars must have smelled like after filming that scene. Gag.

 

Have you heard of Walker's Law Of displacement: everyone has to be somewhere.

I was at the game and the stadium has to be seen in person to be belived. It is really something. And oh...by the way..........."how bout them Cowboys!"

 

We formerly owned the plant at 1600 East 6th st (roughly 6th and Mission Road) and the 7th street bridge ran over the rear of our property and was used 100's of times as a film location. The area for a photo is open partially and relatively safe during the daylight M-F. There is no public entrance to the nearby riverbed, you must arrange it with the LA Film permit office and a few other parties. Permission to enter the riverbed is not easily obtained. It might make a nice location for photos but I would suggest unless it is a high budget shoot just Photoshop it in.

 

Didn't they lose the home opener?

 

this is the EXACT location of the first pic. i done a shoot there too:

E 6th St. & Mesquit St. Los Angeles, CA 90021

enjoy!

 

Closest substitute for the bridges in the back is under 1st street, no permit, loads of homeless, and sometimes the trains are there, also, no riverbed access. Loads of BMW guys go down there.

 

Thanks guys.

 

wow, looks dangerous. better be careful.....

 

I've got protection.

 

MITN!

 

that's my buddies car.
i can ask how he got there, if you need.......just let me know

 

Got it but thank you.

P.S. Nice car.
