If you are meeting with someone for the first time, make sure you abide by the following for your safety and for the safety of whom you are meeting up with: 1. ALWAYS meet up in a busy, public place. A busy mall is great because security is readily available and there are elevators to film! 2. ALWAYS film a few elevators together first before getting in the same car. 3. NEVER film with anyone under 18 who does not have a parent or guardian along with them. Conversely, if you are under 18, ALWAYS bring a parent or guardian along with you. 4. ALWAYS meet during daylight hours! Although it changes with each season, 8am - 8pm is a good time frame. Example: ElevatorNut13 and I met at Oak View mall by the glass elevator, and we filmed all the public elevators in the mall (5 total) before we went to Crossroads (a dead mall) and downtown. On a more positive note, elevator filming is not nearly as unsafe as one might think. When you have a camera rolling, that adds a layer of security for yourself and for the other person. Just keep in mind of your appearance for obvious reasons! |
