East Campus Apartments at Ferris State

The East Campus Apartment Suites are the upscale apartment living quarters located on the campus of Ferris State, not far from the former Bowmaster house.

Dozerfleet history
Very little of the Dozerfleet founder's time on campus involved these buildings in their early time. However, their renovation featured in "Basket Campus Enforcement," an episode of Ferris State Live in 2010.

That episode of required a very quick view of the new apartments under construction. It was decided a drive downhill on Damascus Rd. with the camera aimed squarely at the apartments - to provide a quick sweep view of all of them. This was assumed to be the best route to showing what was requested. However, difficulty with the employed vehicle's backseat arrangement meant putting the camera there was a no-go.

Achieving proper angles for that effect meant that shots had to be taken from the driver's side window. However, driving and shooting from the same position proved too dangerous. In the end, the small team that shot that footage drove up the hill along Damascus, with their camera aimed out the main passenger-side front window. Resulting footage was reversed in post to achieve a downhill driving effect.
