    Miami in Los Angeles. Any locations in LA look like Miami?

    I'm editing a DVD from a director in Miami. He just came out with a girl from the movie and after seeing my work is wanting me to shoot the DVD box cover.

    The movie was shot entirely in Miami, and so I would want to capture a Miami look and feel.

    The girls don't necessarily need to be nude but definitely in bikinis. He wants the main guy in the middle with the 2 girls on either side of him.

    I can shoot it, I just need to find a good location.

    Anyone know of a place that looks a little like Miami, but is in LA?

    I was thinking it would end up being a beach shot, but if no suitable location is found we'll shoot on a small stage with white BG and just go for a collage.

      Why not by a pool with some palm trees ?

          Must be somewhere, because CSI:Miami is filmed in LA.

                  Good idea.


                  However, the movie is sort of an adult crime drama.

                  I'm thinking more of a miami vice type feel.

                  The pool and palms would normally be a perfect ide.

                          Now we're talkin'

                          I was thinking of a beach type setup. But I can dig this too.

                              Where do the Cubans live in LA? There MUST be a little Havana there somewhere.

                              Also depends if you want that Art Deco vibe or slummy ghetto look.

                                  I can call Don Johnson for you. Maybe he can stand in the back ground.

                                  Or you can just go to the Don Johnson adult toy factory near your house and shoot there. Almost as good as the real thing!

                                      just shoot her at the beach, and make sure no surfers, mountains or rocks are visible.

                                          Look over by Marina Penninsula or down toward Manhattan Beach. I think Venice's strip could look somewhat like Ocean in MIA if you shot it correctly.

                                              There are plenty of ways to tell an east coast beach from a west coast beach so unless you shoot at the waters edge with the water in the background something is going to give it away. If you want to fool everyone, the pool and palm tree or hot car by a mansion is a better idea.

                                                  I know just about every area of L.A. and that's a tough call. Architecturally I can't think of a thing, but here are some thoughts...

                                                  If you do a beach shoot keep the water in the distance as the Pacific ocean is brownish and the Atlantic and Gulf are blue.

                                                  If you use a Ferrari as someone suggested, be sure and remove the license plates.

                                                  Santa Monica probably has the widest beaches, more along Miami's depth. Those lifeguard towers are very much identified with Cali though, probably due to Baywatch. Avoid anything iconic like muscle beach, the Venice boardwalk or the beach bicycle/roller skate path.

                                                  Also, someone mentioned finding little Havana in L.A. To the best of my knowledge there is none.

                                                  This answer is making me very homesick

                                                              Another thing to consider is the sunlight.

                                                              If you shoot late afternoon at the beach in Cali it would be seen as an early morning
                                                              scene in Miami. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Light direction is another clue that can give the picture away.

The first episode of this season featured a slummy neighborhood with palm trees and chain link fences that would be perfect.

I think they're all shot here with a bit of stock footage and a couple of seasonal trips to do specific outdoor shoots. ICQ me if you need some help figuring out where they shoot, I'm sure we can ask a couple of people and get some location addresses.

The Vice Roy in Santa Monica or the pool on top of the http://www.raffles.com/en_ra/property/rle just make sure you don't get mountains or the hollywood sign in the background on that one! Maybe you could photoshop a miami backdrop in.
