I would help shoot this. Maybe the overpass at JN Terrace would be an obvious outlook that would not require a crane. Unfortunately the car traffic (i.e. jam-southwest bound toward the causeway at 5 pm weekly) would all be facing away from the camera... I can think of no other location where the shooter could get above the roadway without powertools, a kite or climbing gear. Could maybe get up on the large billboard on East Wash at Brearly (my favorite intersection!) That corner is jammed with lazy commuters one-up in their cars every morning pilling in from Sun Prairie etc. If I was a cop, I could bust a driver on every yellow light at that intersection. It is madness!
PS- wasn't RideTheDrive3 once scheduled for the waste-side Vilas/Monroe neighborhood at one point? When did this change? I like the idea of moving it around. Spread the joy you know! R.
