An American Castle | Sony NEX-FS100

Location: Fergus Falls, Minnesota, USA
-Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center
-Town of Fergus Falls
Date:December 29th, 2011

I heard a building in this video has been for sale since years ago. After Regional Treatment Center, a mental hospital, moved to a new place, this magnificent building became empty. Currently, this belongs to the city of Fergus Falls, Minnesota, USA.

This chateau-like complex was founded in the 1890s. I have gotten inside the building before with a city officer. It was really magnificent. I was impressed by its architecture and its simple geometric decorations. This place is great for filmmaking, especially horror movies.

I also heard that this historic architecture will be destroyed in 2013 if no one will buy it by then. The city wants to preserve it, though. It is still there as of Dec. 29th 2011. You can see much information from the following link:

A building over the lake is a city hall, but not the treatment center which is for sale.

Shots on birds are mainly done with the Sigma lens. All other shots are Sony 18-200mm.

I can't push the reply button for some reason.. I reply as a new comment.

Yes, FSB6 is a good fit for this camera with the kit lenz. However, if you want to use rig and other accessories on the camera, I recommend you to choose FSB8. I use Sigma 150-500mm with this camera on FSB6. I felt it a little heavy for the camera head.

Is the Sachtler FSB6 a good fit for the FS100? I was thinking that or the FBS8.
