Abandoned Film Set

[Chaingunfighter 917]

So, I've been reading a lot of posts lately, specifically ones on the in-game camera, head bobbing, and such, and this has led me to what I feel would be great for the atmosphere;

An abandoned film set.'

Now, before you start ranting about "Chernarus would never have enough money for a film studio!", just hear me out.

The story could essentially be explained as; some rich film company (probably U.S.-borne) had traveled to Chernarus to take part in filming of whatever new movie was being released at the time, where the outbreak unfortunately hit before filming was finished and everyone involved either died or fled. The set of the film would definitely give an interesting atmosphere that is clearly different from the rest; maybe realistic, but obviously fake or temporary props, fixed lighting, old cameras and lots of equipment lying around. Maybe bits of debris or fake blood scattered around, amidst the real blood of the now deceased and/or infected people on set.

The setting would send an eerie message; that what we often depict in media can quickly become a reality.

 

Besides the fact that it would add to the setting, it could also help to explain the over-abundance of American goods found, especially the PayDay masks (It's a much better excuse than them being used for festivals).

The film set could offer a variety of unique loot; interesting costumes or what-have-you that cannot be found elsewhere, or maybe blank-converted firearms that would be useful to fool someone, but not in combat.

So, what do you guys/gals think? Would an abandoned film set be cool, or no?

+1 for creativity.  I would not mind another POI with backstory to explore.

It would definitely be something fun to go find, like the shipwreck, massive apartment blocks, castles, or prisons whenever they're implemented.

Long down the line, if they were to make a map in a different, possibly more urban location, you could have posters or advertisements around specifically for the movie itself, adding to the overall interest and atmosphere.
