East Campus Apartments at Ferris State

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." That episode of Ferris State Live 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 was 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 uphill 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. The apartments in their completed state can be viewed here.
