Elevator in los angeles

I'm not in LA so I can't help you there, but I'd build a set before I looked for an elevator. The best you'll probably get is an elevator in an abandoned building, or a real elevator during the hours of 2 AM to 5 AM.
Depending on how long you're going to need it, I'd go with building one like a real one that you have some access to (if you need a going in and going out shot) so you can do both.
Good luck,
Chris

Much smarter to build a set. Four blank walls, doors that open
by hand, a little paint....
You can then move a wall out and even shoot from above for
better coverage and lighting.
I did a short that took place entirely in a closet. That's what
we did. I even got a full 360° dolly shot

That's a mighty impressive shot too I might add, I watched it several times trying to determine whether the closet was a real closet or one with removable walls solely because of that 360 shot.
I concur.. build a set, you'll have total control over the lighting, and everything else. Not to mention it will be easier to shoot (as has already been covered)
Thanks, Will.
I wish we had used a video camera to show the crew moving the
walls and props out and back in during that shot. It was quite a ballet.

Hey Directorik, is there any place I can watch the short? I'd love to see this technique in action!
Build a set. Total control, and safer.

Thanks Zen. I love to challenge myself, the crew and the cast. That
scene in "dark crimes" is 22 minutes long with no cuts. A full day
of rehearsal four full takes and six aborted takes - one at the 19
minute mark.
It was a tough day But it really sets the stage for a real time story.
