Several sources say that Ed Wood filmed Plan 9 from Outer Space at Quality Studios, the entranceway located next to the Harvey Hotel. The building is still there, though not a studio anymore. I've verified from old postcards that the large building used to be the Harvey Hotel.

Plan 9 from Outer Space is often said to be the worst movie ever made. It was also Bela Lugosi's last film.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/45170/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/45170/ Fri, 08 Feb 2008 01:02:05 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/45170/ 34.09037600 -118.31258600 <![CDATA[Al jazeera TV HQ Doha, TV Studios]]>

Rockfield Studios, near Monmouth in South Wales and just outside the village of Rockfield, are where many of British rock music’s most successful recordings have been made.

The studios were founded by brothers Kingsley and Charles Ward in the early 1960s, by converting an existing farmhouse. In 1965, they became the world's first-ever residential studio, set up so that bands could come and stay in the peaceful rural surroundings to record.

The first big hit recorded in the studios was Dave Edmunds’ I Hear You Knockin' in 1970. Following that success, the studios were used to record Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody in 1975. During a 12-month period in 1996-97, Rockfield sessions resulted in five UK Number One albums, by Oasis, Ash, Black Grape, The Charlatans and the Boo Radleys. Other acts using the studios have included Robert Plant, Black Sabbath, Budgie, Echo & the Bunnymen, Motörhead, Rush, Hawkwind, The Stranglers, Iggy Pop, The Pogues, Paul Weller, Simple Minds, Manic Street Preachers, Sepultura, and New Order.

The original sets were destroyed in the 1987 backlot fire. The current sets are built to the same designs.
The sets can be extended vertically through the use of matte paintings. Talented artists "fill-in" the rest of the massive Roman structures by painting on glass, which is then placed between the set and the camera. The highly detailed paintings became part of the set in the camera, requiring no costly optical special effects.

On Screen:

* Spartacus (1960) [Laurence Olivier addressed the Roman soldiers from the Roman Senate steps]
* Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) [Carol Channing's mansion]
* History of the World, Part I (1981) [Matte paintings (see above) helped to create the illusion of ancient Rome.
* Cloak and Dagger (1984)
* The Wizard (1989)
* The Shadow (1994) [Alec Baldwin's mansion]
* The Burning Zone (1995)
* Buddy (1996)
* The Scorpion King (2002)

In the first days of Universal City, Carl Laemmle invited members of the public to sit on bleachers on the hill overlooking Denver Street (currently the site of Elm Street) to watch silent films being made. In the later years of the tour, there was a wild west shoot-out enacted for every passing tram. See below for the script. The area between Denver Street and Park Lake used to be the site of the Tower of London set, but this was replaced in 1989 with the Earthquake attraction.

The street is built on 7/8 scale to make the characters seem larger than life. Like many movie sets, foam rubber and plastic takes the place of brick and stone. During shooting, glass windows were replaced with "candy glass" or sugar glass which could be easily made on the backlot, and broke into harmless soft-edged chunks.

The colorful history of the studio began on this street, with Carl Laemmle, the studio's founder, supervising the production of over 200 movies each year. Later, great westerns like Destry with Audie Murphy, and The Spoilers with John Wayne filmed here setting the tone for many western movies to follow.

This street was actually modeled after a turn of the century gold rush town.

Named after it's role in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) and most recently in CBS drama Ghost Whisperer (2005), starring Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Unlike many buildings on the lot, this is a fully practical set which can be fully used as a location, both inside and out.

It's based on a real house in Austin, Texas where establishing shots for Best Little Whorehouse were filmed. The set was originally built inside Stage 12 (for better control over the environment for filming) and was moved to it's current location after filming, so it could be used for other productions. It's position was previously occupied by the Psycho house (which was moved to it's current location when filming began for Psycho II in 1983)

Seen on screen:

* Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982)
* Father's Day (1997)
* The Visitor (1997, TV)
* The Firefly residence for House of 1000 Corpses (filmed in 2000 and released in 2003).
* The Ghost Whisperer (2005)

This is Falls lake at Universal Studios. It is used to simulate floods and large expanses of water.

There is a set of a boat interior in the bottom of the holding pond that is about to be flooded.

I think the partial boat superstructure may be from another scene. Anyone recognize the movie?]]>
