Filming Blog: Location
Among Us shares many similarities with our previous project Among Them. Among them was shot in a dark forest similar to Among Us. Also, the setting for both projects is a campsite. We did this intentionally. We figured that Among Them came out very good and that we wanted to expand upon our idea in a newer, longer project. So, we decided to film in a spot similar to the place where Among Them was filmed. Among them was filmed in a park called Markham Park. When we were planning Among Them, we had a big dilemma with finding a filming site. We wanted an abandoned building initially, but later changed to a dark forest. But, we live in a rather developed part of south Florida. So, it was hard for us to find a place with enough trees to pass as a forest. Markham park was the only option close enough. So, when we went back to Markham Park on filming day, our first idea was to use the same spot as we did for Among Them. But, one of the actors had a better idea. He arrived at the park before us and, in his boredom, he around for possible new spots. When we arrived, he showed us a spot that he found that was in a far corner of the park. We loved it and decided to film there. Some pros of filming there were the bigger stretch of woods, field, and a perfect spot for a tent surrounded by trees. However, there were some cons. For example, it was underneath a highway and there was a fence in the woods that lessened immersion. But, we used it anyway.
