Although Miami Beach plays itself, New York and L.A. locations double as Harrisburg air max ltd, Pennsylvania, Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Cleveland, Ohio, as Welles visits sleazy hotel rooms, adult bookstores, sex clubs, office buildings, cemeteries, warehouse movie studios and a variety of other locations in his search for the truth.
With a budget of nearly $60 million -- $2 million of which was allotted for set construction -- 8MM is a dark thriller about a surveillance specialist on a path to discover the truth about a reel of film and, ultimately, the truth about himself. The film’s uniquely stylish look was created by the late production designer Gary Wissner working in conjunction with director Joel Schumacher and director of photography Robert Elswit.
According to Wissner, “It’s a world that’s not really about nudity or the porn industry, it’s about what these people become in this world -- and everything in this world has to fit into one visual scheme.”
The Miami montage contrasts sharply with the rest of the story. “Miami is all about purple and pink, but once we left Miami we went to warm tones of blue to represent Pennsylvania (for which New York doubled) and then on the West Coast we had hot colors with orange, red air max turbulence, and yellow,” Wissner said. “Miami stood out as a pink and purple neon wonderland that wasn’t quite yet into the heart of the hell that the character delves into.”
8MM A Reality-based Movie
In Los Angeles, the filmmakers used real locations including the Fred Jordan Mission and Los Angeles Youth Network, plus constructed nearly 20 sets. “This wasn’t a huge Men In Black kind of film, but a reality-based movie that called for the audience being sucked into this believable world. Reality-based doesn’t just mean going into a location and shooting the location as is -- it means coming up with a visual scheme and dynamic in terms of texture, color, lighting, pattern and gloss,” Wissner said.
Based on Andrew Kevin Walker’s screenplay, the film stars Nicolas Cage (Next, Ghost Rider) as private eye Tom Welles, a man who travels across the country seeking an explanation for a bizarre trail of evidence. Welles searches for answers at missing persons archives, shelters for runaway girls and eventually in society’s pornographic underbelly.
In New York air max ltd 2, the filmmakers used a warehouse attached to a loading dock alleyway under the Brooklyn Bridge on the East River. “We shot there for a week, then at other locations including the exterior of a library and a huge meat market where a bad guy was hiding,” he said. “We dressed the entire meat market street, shutting down one of the busiest intersections in the meat market district in Greenwich Village.”

8MM was filmed over a four-month period, beginning with an opening montage shot in Miami Beach using three locations: the airport, a nightclub, and the exterior of a posh hotel. “It was one day’s worth of shooting a title sequence in the airport where we get a sense of who Tom Welles really is,” Wissner said during a telephone interview shortly after production wrapped. “Joel and I wanted Miami to be different from the rest of the story. There’s no dialogue, but visually we get an idea who Welles is, what he’s doing and that he’s bored with his job.”
