Transcript
0:02
today's adventure begins here on the
0:02
corner of us 192
0:05
highway 192 as the locals refer to it as
0:09
been going around the filming locations
0:10
of the 2017 film
0:13
the florida project now this will be
0:15
shot out of sequence not completely in
0:17
order
0:18
but i am starting here before meeting up
0:20
with
0:22
a few guests at this arrow
0:26
that turns this is where some promo
0:30
photographs were taken a mother and
0:34
daughter
0:35
right here with the hotel in the
0:37
background
0:41
i'm gonna be heading to orlando first
0:41
and then after orlando everything
0:44
else will be in this general vicinity
0:46
welcome everyone out of the woo here i'm
0:47
here with my friend
0:49
natalie from california who how many
0:51
times would you say you've seen the
0:52
movie
0:53
at least a dozen times a dozen a dozen
0:55
times
0:57
it's not it's not a movie that is for
0:59
everyone it is
1:01
either either love it or you don't like
1:04
it it is it's
1:06
it's hard to describe but for me it
1:07
holds a special place in my heart
1:09
because
1:09
highway 192 is kind of how i began a lot
1:12
of filming a lot of these
1:14
former attractions and hotels back at
1:17
the beginning of my youtube
1:18
career so and i understand the realism
1:21
of the movie
1:23
based on you know the context and the
1:25
plot
1:26
because a lot of the motels along here
1:28
are just like that
1:29
are shown in the film starting at this
1:32
arrow
1:34
that turns that way where a couple
1:35
photographs were taken
1:37
and like i said the hotel off in the
1:39
distance
1:40
all right let's just go to orlando and
1:42
then we'll head back over to 192 in
1:44
kissimmee where
1:45
i would say 95 percent of the film took
1:46
place inviting you to join me
1:48
and natalie and others that will meet up
1:51
throughout the course of the night
1:54
shall you there's that arrow along the
1:56
ground the interesting thing about this
1:57
is they
1:58
they created a movie poster and they
2:00
photoshopped in
2:01
orange world as well as the rockets from
2:03
the hotel in the distance
2:05
it's a little photoshop but this is the
2:07
this is the
2:08
original as is this one where they're
2:11
putting a little little nose to nose a
2:13
little
2:15
mother and daughter right over there
2:23
all right moving on about a 25 minute
2:23
commute about 18 miles
2:25
give or take corner of colonial and
2:28
kirkman
2:29
is mr quick's
2:32
restaurant which would have been next to
2:35
orange world
2:37
right on 192 however in reality not next
2:40
to orange world
2:41
you know almost a half hour drive give
2:44
or take and
2:45
what kind of tipped me off to this spot
2:47
that it's in orlando
2:49
is for a brief moment you can see on
2:51
screen
2:52
where this sign up here that says mr
2:54
quick
2:56
restaurant is shown and
3:00
ashley would have opened the door right
3:02
here
3:03
to let them know that she had some food
3:05
for them and also the interior scenes
3:08
were in here inside of the booth as well
3:11
and around the back is where the door is
3:15
around the back was where the door is
3:17
where she is giving them the food
3:19
and it we both thought this was in
3:22
kissimmee and after a little research
3:24
realized no it's in orlando so we should
3:26
walk around the back
3:27
let's see see how it looks and if you
3:30
notice up here this all looks the same
3:33
and i kind of did think there was a
3:36
possibility that the front was here and
3:37
then around the back
3:39
was a different location that's not the
3:42
case
3:49
and the door over there is is still open
3:49
so this is the door right here
3:56
the same little little little grates
3:56
down here the little holes down here
3:59
it's almost like we're witnessing the
4:00
movie in real time right
4:02
it really is i wonder if they'll give us
4:05
a couple i think
4:06
a couple of different scenes took place
4:07
here earlier in the film when everyone
4:09
was friendly
4:10
and then later when she had an issue
4:12
with her friend and didn't want to give
4:14
them food anymore
4:16
and also if you if you watch closely
4:17
you'll see this little button here
4:19
that is very prominently seen as well
4:21
it's the same door
4:23
the thing that's really fascinating too
4:24
is they remove the sign
4:26
up here that says colonial drive and put
4:29
erlo
4:30
bronson across it which is another name
4:32
for highway 192 in kissimmee
4:34
so a little fun fact if you look very
4:37
closely if you have a you know
4:38
like a blu-ray edition it says it says
4:41
saying colonial it will say
4:43
erlo bronson but the reality it is mr
4:46
quick restaurant who knew
4:49
who knew all the way up here in orlando
4:52
for a little perspective this is where i
4:53
was originally standing a moment ago
4:55
same awning and you can see where it
4:57
says mr quick
4:59
right up there as they run around the
5:00
back as well as a far away
5:03
angle of them running you can see the
5:05
little arrow there
5:07
i'll kind of match this up as well for
5:09
this
5:10
now just need to step inside and see if
5:12
the booth and everything is identical as
5:14
well
5:15
my guess it it probably is still the
5:17
same it's only been four years
5:19
but things do change quickly go in there
5:21
and see
5:22
also looks as if that trash can is still
5:26
the same one as she had the door open
5:28
there
5:37
and the address there five six one
5:37
so the five just told us that he was
5:38
here when they filmed it and here
5:41
the booth over there
5:45
yeah right over there that's the booth
5:45
they were sitting in there's someone
5:47
eating at it so i'm not gonna kill it
5:53
it's pretty heat yeah it also looks the
5:54
same in here
6:00
pretty cool there's the
6:00
the coke machine still over there
6:07
yeah that's the coffee shop and that
6:08
sign says spring is here i'm so happy
6:11
i wet my pants made it back over into
6:14
kissimmee now
6:14
about no 20-minute commute
6:18
give or take pulling into
6:21
calypso bay
6:37
philip's okay she was stopped by a
6:37
security here in the golf cart that was
6:39
right across from
6:40
runaway beach club you can see right
6:43
over there the
6:44
golf cart was parked right about in this
6:47
section
6:47
here and this is not only the area where
6:49
they were selling the perfume but also
6:51
where they went in to get the
6:52
free continental breakfast and you'll
6:55
notice these three very small palm trees
6:57
this is where mooney was saying she was
6:58
building the sand castle where her mom's
7:00
standing here
7:01
with the the bag of perfume trying to
7:03
find anyone that could
7:05
sell the perfume right here in this spot
7:06
where the sidewalk and palm trees are
7:09
yeah even the little breakfast room is
7:11
considerably different it's all been
7:12
you know completely remodeled the only
7:15
thing really left are
7:16
some of the poles there that kind of
7:18
match up just a couple miles away
7:20
corner of hiawatha and bronson highway
7:23
which is you know erlo bronson highway
7:25
192.
7:26
a lot of different names still here in
7:28
kissimmee there are two spots
7:41
one was an abandoned building that sat
7:41
right here that they walk past
7:42
enroute to the condos that they
7:44
eventually set fire to
7:47
and adjacent to that was the twisty
7:51
treat which was an ice cream stand that
7:54
was right here between these
7:56
these two poles these two lights
8:00
this is where they were asking
8:06
other people visiting the establishment
8:06
for some money so they could get some
8:07
ice cream
8:09
sat right along here i believe the
8:11
picnic table is probably right over
8:12
there right yeah i think so
8:17
right in here is where the picnic table
8:17
was of course the employee at some point
8:20
they kept frequenting this place
8:22
kind of told them to get lost hey you're
8:24
you're
8:25
you're bothering the customers and they
8:27
said we are we are paying customers
8:29
and weren't they sitting like right down
8:30
here like on the curb
8:32
right right in this section you can
8:34
still see kind of the
8:36
shape of an ice cream cone here
8:39
twisty treat
8:43
there are still twisty treats on 192.
8:45
they've just moved them to other spots
8:47
but this is this is the one from the
8:49
florida project
8:50
as well as the the abandoned building
8:52
here or the signage
8:54
that was here that they walked past the
8:56
interesting thing is when they walk
8:58
past this abandoned building to get to
9:00
the condos which you would think
9:01
would be continuing down this road in
9:05
reality they're about another
9:06
mile or so that way movie magic
9:10
just to give a little perspective of
9:11
what it looked like when the ice cream
9:13
stand was still there
9:14
see there's that slab of concrete there
9:18
as well as the tables on either side
9:21
used to be a medical clinic with the
9:23
signage there all dilapidated but notice
9:25
the building over to the far end
9:27
that still remains which can be seen
9:30
right here in the same formation
9:35
and you can kind of see this road as
9:44
in the scene and then
9:44
just like magic they're down that way
9:47
about another mile
9:49
right past seven dwarfs lane which that
9:51
sign coming the other direction could be
9:53
seen in a couple times
9:55
the direction they were walking is
9:56
toward the sam's club
9:58
seven dwarfs lane next symbol with the
10:01
lights and the palm tree
10:07
two different times walking that
10:07
direction and then turning around and
10:10
heading back down this very sidewalk
10:12
which runs parallel to
10:14
south beach 4786 is the address you can
10:18
see it's all fenced off
10:20
this closed off section has been
10:22
repainted and used to extend a little
10:24
bit farther down
10:27
that way there was about five or six
10:30
seven more
10:31
buildings that were very colorful that
10:34
were really set on fire for the film
10:37
they really did burn the dilapidated
10:41
facades i think there's one more
10:44
building down here at the end that still
10:46
kind of remains
10:47
see if it's all down there now this
10:48
building where this icon iconic
10:50
image was taken is gone but you see the
10:54
palm trees and all that
10:56
still there right over there in fact
10:58
that dock
11:00
along the water as well so they extended
11:03
from
11:03
down there and that section passed
11:07
here all of these buildings went all the
11:10
way along
11:12
stretched along 192. now when the
11:15
congregation of people were
11:17
standing kind of excited about the fact
11:20
that there was a fire
11:22
you'll see over there in the distance is
11:25
one little shed that shed still remains
11:27
so
11:27
they were all kind of in that little
11:30
vicinity
11:32
over there and in correlation in
11:35
you know realistically speaking the
11:37
magic castle when willem dafoe walks out
11:39
of the offices and notice
11:40
notices the smoke in the air up here
11:44
the magic castle is down there about
11:46
another
11:47
mile or so and they really did have it
11:50
on fire so the smoke
11:51
was real right through here and what was
11:54
the what was the line that gloria said
11:56
about
11:56
she made well in a roundabout way what
11:59
did she say about these about these
12:00
buildings
12:01
they were so ugly even she was thinking
12:02
of burning them down
12:04
and how fun is the fact that the copter
12:06
is going by here
12:08
outside of the magic
12:11
castle painted purple
12:32
okay this is the office here where a lot
12:32
of the interiors
12:33
took place gonna go ahead and just walk
12:38
over and introduce you this is chris for
12:40
gosh
12:41
co-writer and co-producer or full rider
12:44
co-producer
12:45
co-writer full producer but there are
12:47
many producers on it
12:48
one of the wonderful producers right
12:50
like sachin sao who
12:52
uh sells them the fragrances in the
12:53
movie the wholesale fragrance
12:56
yeah so she made a cameo here's where
12:58
the movie opens
12:59
they're hanging out now here's the fun
13:00
thing we tried to i tried to
13:02
infuse uh as many
13:06
sort of references and sort of in jokes
13:09
for disney uh fans and that's sort of
13:12
like their purple wall
13:18
okay the purple wall gotcha so when the
13:18
movie opens and uh and mooney and scooty
13:21
are hanging out there
13:22
yeah uh and we have the character of his
13:24
kid dicky comes running up and he's like
13:26
fresh
13:27
at the future freshies at the future and
13:29
no one knows what does that mean
13:30
but future land was our main just down
13:34
the road before paradise
13:35
uh in which we should go to which all
13:37
the the rockets are gone
13:39
they've removed the rockets there was
13:41
like three or four scenes that took
13:42
place here yes
13:43
and they were you know a lot shorter
13:45
than i realizing this is tiny
13:47
yeah underneath there yeah now also how
13:50
did how did it work with the helicopter
13:51
so it was basically like hey helicopters
13:53
going
13:54
say this get underneath here and just do
13:56
this do the scene
13:57
kind of like impromptu constantly going
13:59
up and down and we couldn't shut them
14:01
down
14:02
and every once in a while you know one
14:03
of our crew members or producers would
14:05
go there and say like
14:06
can we just wait five minutes to take
14:09
off should we get started
14:09
wait no wait they got a business to run
14:11
we understood that so it's one of those
14:13
happy accidents where you know you just
14:15
work it into the script
14:16
we didn't write that when we conceived
14:18
it but
14:20
sean is a genius because he used the
14:22
sounds of the helicopters to his
14:24
advantage at the end
14:25
so if you watch the film he's slowly
14:27
manipulating the sound of the copters
14:29
when the drama is rising at the end
14:32
right and he's making it a little louder
14:35
and they run out this way over to magic
14:37
kingdom i'm also real this is this is
14:39
where the
14:39
the birds were with the foe right in
14:43
oh and there's a look there's a bird
14:44
right over here no harm no foul
14:51
now i'm also noticing i went by the
14:51
condos and stated it was in real time
14:54
because you really set him on fire
14:55
however
14:56
he's looking this way the condos are not
14:59
that way i'm wrong the condos are this
15:01
way
15:01
you are on it so was that like a cgi uh
15:04
yeah it was a cgi yeah that was a calm
15:06
it's a smoke yes wow you're a master
15:10
you've got uh like you're like neo at
15:12
the end of the matrix see
15:13
everything inside the office pretty much
15:15
looks the same
15:17
more or less at first i thought there's
15:18
even a florida project poster over there
15:20
others are the same chairs where they
15:21
were eating
15:21
the ice cream but the chairs have have
15:24
been replaced and this telephone i think
15:25
was could be seen
15:27
a couple times as well and then the two
15:28
chairs of course over there is where
15:30
they're
15:31
eating the ice cream eating the ice
15:32
cream falls on the floor
15:34
in that scene they cut into the trailer
15:37
to open that up
15:38
does this bring a lot of memories being
15:39
back here yeah it's weird to be back
15:40
here after this
15:41
this much time uh first time you've been
15:43
back i was back one other time because
15:46
on my instagram
15:47
when willem was nominated for an oscar
15:49
again after the florida project
15:51
i brought his uh vocal action figure
15:54
from aquaman
15:55
and i next to the pool pictures of volca
15:58
in the same position
16:00
the movie starts off here with uh sort
16:03
of a tracking shot
16:04
of um aiden the actor aiden playing
16:07
dicky
16:08
sort of running up to mooney and
16:11
scooty hanging out over there so
16:14
yeah that was the opening i'm glad you
16:16
brought the pressure to the future
16:17
because i didn't i didn't catch the
16:18
future
16:19
correlation until you mentioned that
16:20
sort of just that was their code for
16:22
future land and
16:23
that message meant new people were
16:24
checking in for them to terrorize
16:26
and then of course they go and spit on
16:28
the car yeah and yeah
16:30
we didn't you know which is it right
16:31
next door it's a totally different spot
16:34
normally in our films as uh shawn and i
16:37
try to get it geographically accurate so
16:39
if people were to actually go there for
16:42
example in tangerine it's pretty much
16:43
except for one little cheat you could
16:46
basically walk the path
16:48
of cindy and alexandria so with this one
16:50
we had to cheat because there was
16:51
obviously certain locations
16:53
that we wanted to work in you know uh
16:55
the orange world
16:56
definitely was your hotel there were
16:58
actually a list i made of about 20
17:01
and we had to comb through it and like
17:02
okay we can't use all of these and
17:04
narrow it down to the
17:05
to the ones that you see in the room the
17:06
water looks deeper
17:08
the water looks deeper than it did then
17:10
yeah so they removed the wooden bridge
17:12
that was
17:12
right here i feel like a little tiny
17:15
piece of wood
17:17
but you can see them walking across
17:18
where the copters are
17:20
yeah did you guys do any coffee rides
17:22
while you were here i did one
17:24
as a matter of fact a couple of the ones
17:26
that you see
17:28
we actually did that by me going in a
17:30
copter and just sort of getting the area
17:31
telling them that they were on camera
17:33
and we just sort of went over there and
17:35
sort of i said can you just pass by the
17:37
hotel
17:37
try to time it out to get it just right
17:39
facts that are spot on and then some
17:41
facts that are like wrong well that's
17:43
the internet
17:43
yeah again some stuff's gonna be true
17:45
and some stuff's just gonna be
17:47
oh see that building over there that
17:49
storage building is new
17:51
ish and when we filmed uh that
17:54
was just a long vacant lot where we had
17:56
our lunches every day
17:58
oh we had the tent set up there that was
18:00
craft services craft services was right
18:02
where the storage is so if you
18:03
so you didn't get any bread from the
18:05
truck that was right in front of this
18:06
thing
18:06
so this was willing to foe well his
18:08
characters oh yes apartment which was uh
18:10
10101 i think it was 101 there's only
18:13
one scene where he walks
18:15
over here and goes in and then the next
18:17
thing the next morning he kicks out the
18:18
people around the back
18:20
you got it like around the back we wrote
18:21
a scene we never shot it
18:23
in his room we just wanted to get get
18:26
across the idea that you know he lived
18:27
here he was
18:29
a lonely guy and he inherited this job
18:31
that when he when he took this job
18:33
i don't think the character bobby
18:34
realized he was going to become sort of
18:36
a father figure surrogate father
18:38
figured all these people just kind of
18:39
happened to him and
18:45
we're about to go in room three two
18:45
three now room two three two which is
18:47
or two two two three was directly below
18:51
three two three which was ashley's room
18:53
which would be down
18:54
one kind of near the end i think it's
18:56
like the second or third door from there
18:58
so we're gonna walk down there and
18:59
they've been gracious enough to give us
19:00
the key to go in
19:02
as another goes oh this is going the
19:04
other direction
19:11
this is the window here same air
19:12
conditioner unit you would have the
19:14
orange bird right here
19:16
yes this is where she slides the window
19:18
open goes in
19:19
and opens the door three two three says
19:22
no smoking but there was some smoking
19:23
going on
19:24
by the characters in this movie not the
19:26
best tenants
19:32
all right this is the room this is
19:35
probably the first time you've been in
19:36
this room since then though right five
19:37
years ago yeah we shot in the summer of
19:39
16.
19:40
there's a couple different rooms too
19:41
there was the one down below where she
19:43
beat up her friend in between the beds
19:46
but a lot of
19:47
a lot of stuff took place right in here
19:48
i can't believe that it's uh
19:50
not made up
19:55
they said they haven't cleaned the room
19:55
yet today i wish that they like
19:57
made it into like a florida project
20:00
themed room
20:02
i mean that would be really cool the
20:05
tapestry and like the clothes
20:06
yellow clothes over there and everything
20:09
this is when she ran in from upstairs
20:10
she ran up the stairs
20:12
ran over here to the restroom
20:15
and she wasn't feeling too well right
20:18
here this is this is wild looking at it
20:20
from this angle
20:22
like this is the this is the angle right
20:28
adam i mean i can't say how impressed i
20:28
am with how you know this stuff
20:30
i even know how you did it with her
20:32
running in
20:33
running in and then she kind of
20:35
regurgitates there into the
20:37
to the toilet and then the camera pans
20:39
back over
20:40
she refills the prop in her mouth and
20:43
then
20:44
spits out yeah just just sweeps glass of
20:46
the stuff right and then yeah see i've
20:48
watched all about
20:48
all the behind the scenes stuff so then
20:51
did you see me
20:52
in a haunted mansion a deleted scene
20:54
where you were driving
20:55
yes and that car is still in there but
20:57
it's just like it's you're edited out
20:59
i picked them up when they're
21:00
hitchhiking right you're the cast member
21:02
yeah yeah i was just i i wanted to
21:04
because hitchhiking ghosts you know
21:06
yeah yeah there's a little nod there to
21:08
that um
21:09
that was originally going to be josh in
21:11
that role so
21:12
for a number of reasons with budget josh
21:14
wasn't able to come in from l.a
21:16
uh and uh then i was just gonna do it
21:18
because we had the we're lucky enough to
21:20
have the uh
21:21
the outfit and uh and then just for time
21:24
pacing you know you're on the cutting
21:25
just cut to the chase you're in the
21:26
cutting room
21:27
get them to the uh get them to the
21:29
fireworks as quick as we can i wish i
21:31
brought my swimsuit i could take some
21:32
selfies right here yeah
21:33
i could take some squeaky selfies right
21:35
here just remove the pictures first is i
21:36
just want to that's right
21:37
the pictures were right up here she took
21:39
the pictures down is there any
21:40
red yeah those were moving to their
21:42
baths
21:44
so you actually use this tub yeah for
21:46
all those scenes but yeah with the wrap
21:48
station in orlando play
21:49
yeah wow that's the tone that's the one
21:52
and that's another thing is like with
21:54
certain people you know
21:55
you have to give the audience a lot of
21:56
credit because normally a lot of people
21:58
that would watch that movie would just
21:59
be like why are we watching this little
22:01
girl in the bath so much
22:02
and then hopefully you get it yeah like
22:04
you're wrong thinking about the point
22:06
it's just her yeah yeah she's just being
22:09
put
22:10
there's a there's a famous shot there
22:24
you disgrace me there's a little
22:24
the perspective there three two three
22:31
as the copter goes by oh yeah what do
22:32
they call that when you you know you
22:33
don't ask for something or pay for it
22:34
but it just happens
22:36
and it's artistic something added in for
22:38
free oh there's a term
22:40
yeah i know you're talking about it
22:47
nonetheless that just happened i was
22:47
just saying every year okay
22:48
every uh day a crew member would sort of
22:52
wonder what the title was going to be
22:53
because it was called the florida
22:54
project it was always called the florida
22:56
project
22:56
based on what was right walt and roy
22:59
showing up doing the
23:01
doing over at lake eola doing the press
23:03
conference they called the florida
23:05
and uh walt disney world yeah and this
23:07
sort of had a double meaning because
23:08
obviously the projects
23:09
have another meeting and this was sort
23:11
of like the projects uh in that movie
23:13
for those characters and uh yeah i just
23:16
tried to explain it and they said no no
23:17
but seriously it's just a working title
23:20
so eventually i guess they when the
23:22
movie came out they realized that was
23:23
today
23:24
i got it from day one i actually thought
23:25
it was gonna be specifically a disney
23:28
oh yeah and then i watched it and i was
23:29
like oh this is some cool 192 stuff but
23:31
you weren't disappointed
23:32
no no i like it mostly because i grew up
23:35
you know
23:35
filming up and down 192. so for me it's
23:37
like a lot of like landmarks
23:39
that i know and love so that's why the
23:42
i joke that i was location scouting the
23:44
movie since i was four the first time i
23:46
came here from new jersey
23:47
because we always visited the orange
23:49
world whenever we came and back then
23:51
they actually sold the authentic orange
23:53
bird merchandise there
23:54
they had like little miniatures and oh i
23:57
love the orange bird
23:58
which you put right over here in this
23:59
very window yeah that's why you can't
24:01
make
24:02
i wanted to say one pool but we'll do it
24:03
in another shot
24:05
oh i'm still recording oh okay yeah i
24:06
was just showing where the orange bird
24:07
was
24:08
where she opened the window up you can't
24:10
make a movie called the florida project
24:12
and not put the orange word in there
24:14
you'd be a jerk
24:15
that's the that's the florida icon it's
24:17
uh
24:18
there are some marks over on that wall
24:21
over on that one you see some kind of
24:22
scuff marks and stuff
24:25
but here's like the they got pretty cool
24:29
so we those pictures were not there and
24:32
differences it looked like the same yeah
24:34
different headboards different
24:34
headboards
24:35
oh you know what that actually might be
24:37
the same chest of drawers
24:39
maybe maybe not maybe over there
24:43
probably see mini yeah i think the
24:46
fridge was here in the movie
24:48
i don't know so cool they let us in here
24:51
i just want to stomp on the floor like
24:53
she did
24:53
i don't want to disturb that no one
24:55
disturbed the neighbors but it's pretty
24:57
solid though
24:58
let me take a picture this is where they
25:00
were moving the appliance into the
25:03
into the elevator it was here on number
25:05
three it was with these with the sun
25:07
right
25:08
and they were kind of going what if the
25:10
elevator works
25:13
came on board at the last minute two
25:15
weeks before that the scene
25:17
was written while we were shooting there
25:19
you go this this is the one that he
25:20
pushes
25:21
because his son tells him you got to
25:22
push the button yeah and then he goes
25:24
you realize because he's dwelling he's
25:26
supposed to be like sort of dwelling on
25:27
the fight
25:28
with his son that's why he's not even
25:30
thinking actually you're standing right
25:31
in the same spot
25:35
yeah push the button
25:39
it's moving very slow i thought okay
25:41
there it goes
25:42
hey at least it still works
25:50
yeah that's the room is this the laundry
25:50
this is the laundry they're not supposed
25:52
to go in
25:53
let's go in anyway oh this is the
25:56
laundry right here this is this looks
25:58
the same
26:00
so where's the room where they flipped
26:01
the switch that's probably the next
26:03
remote god wait
26:04
madam those are all star
26:07
comfort girls oh my gosh all right or no
26:09
am i wrong
26:10
aren't those oh yeah there's the there's
26:12
mickey right there
26:14
sure those are all star movies
26:18
i believe yeah because they got the
26:20
mighty ducks yeah look at that
26:22
dalmatians oh look at this here's a
26:24
little toy story one of the aliens
26:26
looking for the claw
26:27
yeah we need some people we need to find
26:29
some paper towels they're looking for
26:31
paper towels in here
26:32
is that what they were looking for paper
26:33
towels yes thanks oh you're right
26:35
there's paper towels
26:36
there's the paper towels you can go
26:39
clean off a windshield from all the spit
26:41
looking this way now there really is a
26:42
security camera there now yeah but he
26:44
just used his cell phone to get the
26:45
security footage
26:46
oh yeah exactly and then around here
26:49
this is at the very end
26:50
william walks out here i think he's
26:51
smoking a cigarette because he knows
26:53
what's happening
26:54
at the very end of the movie and you can
26:55
see these behind this still kind of
26:57
looks the same this is where the the
26:58
leaf blower we
26:59
have the leaf blower out here in the
27:01
morning
27:03
i think there was like maybe five or six
27:05
of these at the time though
27:06
and of course they downsized and also of
27:09
course where they throw the
27:10
bed bug mattress away yeah they've added
27:12
these doors
27:13
stores weren't here see that's amazing i
27:15
didn't even realize that that's
27:18
one
27:27
there he is walking around with the
27:27
mattress there were four
27:29
there were four appliances here now
27:30
there's only two
27:33
you were mentioning something about you
27:34
were going to use splendid china which i
27:36
did a video there years and years before
27:37
they bulldoze it
27:38
when it was all still just kind of
27:39
rotting away rotting away oh yeah it was
27:41
amazing
27:42
so when we were writing the script one
27:44
of my earliest visions of the whole
27:46
was a whole sequence in there where
27:48
mooney would take jancey
27:50
just like she takes her you know on to
27:51
the uh safari
27:53
uh whole sequence in spanish where
27:56
they're talking about like all the
27:57
places they want to visit in the world
27:59
and the idea was that okay you know
28:01
again they don't need to go to the theme
28:02
parks they had their own theme park
28:04
because the great wall was still
28:05
standing yeah after all that time
28:07
and they were sort of talking about
28:08
different exotic places they wanted to
28:10
visit to as they're like
28:11
pretending they're giants on the great
28:13
wall would have been amazing and then
28:14
just as we were shooting jimmy buffett
28:16
ruined everything
28:18
he moved in now there's a water slide
28:19
there did you film
28:21
the movie came out in 17 did you film it
28:22
in 16 yeah summer of 16.
28:24
coptic i just love it it feels like i'm
28:26
in the movie yeah
28:27
like the last action here yeah i'm in
28:29
the movie
28:31
he's still alive this man's not dead
28:35
right here is where they flip the switch
28:38
right in there
28:39
just to point out because you can really
28:41
tell behind him there
28:43
is the is where the door was closed so
28:44
can't get in there but that's where
28:46
that's where that room was oh the woman
28:48
trips right there
28:49
oh that's the stairs you tripped on yeah
28:50
and it was a planned trip we had the
28:52
padding down there oh that was
28:54
planned okay yeah
28:55
it's good to see that he got this
28:56
painted though remember
28:58
the paint dropped right here yeah oh and
29:00
it felt so bad for the uh
29:03
the pas who had to clean all that up
29:06
because it was real paint you know
29:08
blotches of paint left no i wonder if
29:11
just the the where
29:12
the where it could be from where they
29:13
had the screen scrape it all down now
29:15
the soda machine has been removed it was
29:17
right over in this section here really
29:19
the only way to
29:20
just the way you can figure that out is
29:22
right over here
29:24
is that little pipe and the guy's name
29:25
he said there was a disney reference
29:26
with that as well right that character
29:28
uh that mysterious man is called charlie
29:31
coachman
29:31
based on the coachman in pinocchio and
29:34
they were overlooking from that
29:36
right over there towards the pool so
29:38
we're racing against time
29:40
one of them starts disappearing all
29:41
right set the camera up just just go
29:43
just do whatever
29:44
talk about leprechauns one of the things
29:47
i love about working with
29:48
sean baker is being on set you know a
29:50
lot of writers aren't lucky enough to be
29:52
on set
29:52
so you can just throw out ideas and uh
29:55
that's how that happened we got we got
29:56
it before the last one disappeared
29:58
where you are spa yeah
30:01
room 252 is where they were taking the
30:03
the mattress out with the bed bug that
30:05
was right up there in that corner you
30:06
see the stairwell
30:08
also just one floor down one five one
30:10
this is the room that he kicks the
30:11
tenants out of right here
30:13
and the woman kind of argues and he
30:14
states that her husband
30:16
kind of knows what's going on so that
30:18
scene took place right here 151.
30:20
also wanted to show an angle of the pool
30:22
there where he had just finished
30:24
cleaning the pool and just kind of put
30:25
the the little the little netting back
30:27
over there to
30:28
the corner now they're not the same
30:30
picnic tables but there are picnic
30:32
tables here and the grill
30:33
where they are sitting and looking at
30:36
the copter as it flies off it just adds
30:38
so much ambiance
30:40
having that copter over and over and
30:42
over
30:43
and another room was 111 where they
30:45
couldn't stay more than a month at a
30:46
time they have to move out this part of
30:48
the rules have to move out for one day
30:50
so 111 which is right here was the room
30:54
that
30:55
had to go in so put their stuff in there
30:57
opened the door
30:58
tossed all the luggage in and just one
31:01
day had to move out for one day before
31:02
moving back in
31:11
that was here back then too yeah yeah
31:11
yeah we used it a lot to sort of figure
31:13
things out
31:14
we pretty neat to own one of these right
31:16
here magic would that be cool
31:18
that would be amazing don't drip the ice
31:20
cream don't drip the ice cream
31:21
just like this we got the flags because
31:24
the angle was like kind of down like
31:38
there was a kind of a scene here where
31:38
she kind of stuck something against this
31:40
window right here oh yesterday this
31:41
window
31:42
this has probably been washed off since
31:46
sean baker true story that happened in
31:48
his life he saw that happen at his old i
31:50
think
31:50
so he just worked it out he worked it in
31:52
yeah it's kind of amazing how quiet it
31:54
is without the
31:54
copter going by it is like kind of going
31:57
out for a long route also ask the
31:58
gentleman at the counter
32:00
if people ever stop by you know for the
32:02
filming location he says yes
32:04
every single day here's where gloria was
32:08
no i'm not sure if it was the same seats
32:11
or not
32:12
you know if it's the same chairs what do
32:14
you think you know if it's the same
32:15
chairs
32:16
it could be she was like right here yeah
32:18
i think there were whites
32:19
actually it might be different chairs
32:34
also another scene where the two friends
32:34
when they still got along near the
32:35
beginning of the film were right here
32:38
having a little party from this angle
32:45
and they had all their they had all
32:45
their beers and stuff right there yeah
32:47
playing their music and their rooms
32:49
would be up there on that top corner
32:50
second
32:51
and third floor there's one before
32:54
heading out of this
32:54
this spot gonna go up and recreate the
32:56
willem dafoe smoking a cigarette in that
32:58
corner
32:59
and in that scene it was nighttime all
33:01
the lights turned on
33:03
chris was also saying he was here for
33:04
every single
33:06
frame when they were filming throughout
33:08
the course of every day
33:09
so he was here for everything you see in
33:11
the movie he was on site for
33:13
pretty neat walking back by two two
33:15
three
33:17
ashley's room with scooty
33:20
we're not getting in this one but this
33:21
is where the confrontation took
33:24
place right here that's uh
33:27
josh actually did remain in the movie
33:30
josh sussman
33:31
of wizards of waverly place glee fame
33:33
was supposed to be the
33:34
you know as we said the hitchhiking
33:37
picker-upper
33:38
but if you listen on the tv and josh is
33:41
on that track
33:41
including me and a bunch of our okay
33:44
we'll have to re-listen to it very
33:45
interesting right here in
33:47
two two three oh it's coming by here it
33:50
goes
33:51
right there
34:00
this would be the defoe angle right here
34:00
with the cigarette uh
34:02
kind of like this so you're just like
34:04
leaning over this
34:07
so it was like okay when he leans over
34:08
turn all the lights on and then all the
34:10
lights sporadically came on
34:11
yeah a lot of people have actually been
34:14
so awesome and they come here to take
34:15
pictures and they recreate
34:17
the shots you know and it's amazing and
34:19
um
34:20
sorry we're being looked at so so a lot
34:22
of people are have been so amazing and
34:24
they've been coming here posting pics on
34:25

34:27

34:29

34:39
and it's just it's amazing and thank you
34:41
for your support of the movie
34:43
hey we're going to recreate the run
34:44
across the road we're like recreating
34:47
well going across to the second hotel
34:50
which was not called the sun inn and
34:52
suites had a
34:53
had a different name we're gonna go we
34:55
gotta it's actually looked out pretty
34:58
pretty well going across here and the
35:01
fountain yeah the fountain
35:02
is still here and i believe it said
35:05
registration across the the wall the
35:08
registration
35:09
font has been removed
35:13
but this is where she went and tried to
35:14
get a room and they would not grant her
35:16
access right is that how it worked yeah
35:18
exactly uh
35:19
and uh yeah we called them arabian
35:21
nights i believe in the movie
35:29
no magic castle discount here you have
35:29
to wonder if the people working here
35:30
even knows
35:31
should we go in and see if they even
35:32
know that it was filmed in here like
35:34
magic castle it's obvious
35:45
these are the same chairs
35:45
i was kind of thinking if these chairs
35:47
were the same chairs but they're not the
35:49
same chairs
35:51
yeah they're not i'm surprised that you
35:52
don't they're not the same chairs
36:01
are the tv's the same now the tv over in
36:02
the corner
36:04
that's where she was dancing
36:12
and i'm chris and so in the movie
36:12
there's a scene where
36:14
we have this mom and her daughter and
36:16
they stay at the magic castle
36:18
but they have to check out and come here
36:20
but they won't give them a room here
36:22
because they don't like them
36:23
so she has a temper tantrum like right
36:26
and her daughter is sitting there
36:29
watching the tv
36:30
dancing notices haley keeps the money
36:36
back unless you wanted to both look at
36:36
the counter isn't it
36:45
and the gift shop across the way there
36:45
disney gifts
36:46
where it's pretty neat just to see that
36:48
willem dafoe did that
36:50
i guess you could call it a stunt on his
36:51
own he crossed over the lanes of traffic
36:53
to run in here
36:55
and just to give a little more
36:56
perspective too this is
36:58
this is the angle here where they are
37:01
walking straight in
37:02
just just to kind of give the idea next
37:05
up
37:06
orange world which is next to this
37:08
waffle house see it's confusing
37:10
because you allude to the waffle house
37:13
being next door
37:14
when in reality it was up earlier today
37:17
went to orlando
37:18
of colonial drive that's where the diner
37:20
was yep it's a little tricky because
37:23
unfortunately the good people at waffle
37:24
house even though we love them they
37:26
wouldn't let us
37:26
shoot in there but you wanted to use
37:28
that one in theory that's what it's
37:30
supposed to be
37:31
in the reality of the film but the
37:33
interior is as you know where you film
37:36
good detective skills yeah i figured it
37:38
out i could have asked you but i wanted
37:40
to do it before
37:41
i can't believe you figured it out i
37:43
mean that's incredible
37:44
thank you i don't even remember where it
37:46
is i'll take you there sometime
37:50
we'll have a full breakfast and of
37:52
course
37:53
it was good food did you know you guys
37:55
ate there oh yeah
37:56
casting crew yeah of course the most one
37:59
of the most iconic moments from the film
38:01
happened right over here
38:03
underneath the there you go the fresh
38:05
fruit picked
38:06
daily again it was just one of those
38:08
things that we knew we needed i i
38:10
like i said i had these locations by the
38:12
way look at this place travel lodge
38:14
suites
38:14
when i was four years old my first trip
38:16
to disney world from new jersey stayed
38:20
so you had the orange world on your mind
38:21
in my mind since four years old
38:24
and uh we came here every time you know
38:27
then after that we stayed at the
38:28
contemporary when i was eight
38:30
but we would always come to visit the
38:31
orange world it became a tradition
38:33
and back then you guys that all your new
38:36
generation of orange bird fans
38:38
the old school orange bird was sold in
38:40
places like this
38:42
uh you get the little orangeburg figures
38:43
here so good that was at the welcome
38:45
centers when you cross the state line as
38:48
and this is where they were sitting and
38:49
she bumped her head up against the side
38:52
they were both sitting right here and
38:54
then they get up and they go over here
38:55
and you think it's the back of the
38:56
waffle house but no no it's in colonial
38:58
drive
38:59
20 miles away in orlando it's the magic
39:01
of movies hollywood magic the magic of
39:03
sean baker's editing
39:04
that wasn't in the script he calls it a
39:06
bracelet and i think that was his own uh
39:09
you know take maybe just bobby would
39:11
call it a bracelet for the magic bands
39:12
yeah it was a really good idea for him
39:14
because bobby wouldn't know what a magic
39:16
band is true so it was great that he
39:18
called it a bracelet
39:20
and this is the time share place you
39:21
guys used cheap tickets now did you film
39:24
inside when he's when uh she's talking
39:25
to the woman we did yeah
39:27
inside here that woman was great
39:30
um super awesome there's also a promo
39:33
shot that was taken around the side
39:35
over on this side over here yeah
39:38
probably in between
39:39
in between scenes exactly right up
39:42
against here
39:44
yeah that's the that's the angle there
39:47
and this is where they controlled the
39:50
british gentleman
39:51
his magic fans right here you said they
39:54
were your magic bands
39:55
they were my magic bag you brought them
39:56
in as professionals everything so i had
39:58
to just go through
39:59
by the way that's i have like so many
40:01
disney treasures from years past
40:03
all thanks to my mom who's nice enough
40:05
to let my sister
40:06
they let me keep it all in the garage so
40:08
i had to search through all my old
40:09
plastic bins to find them because that's
40:10
great
40:11
that's pretty neat though you're a magic
40:12
band do you still have them yeah
40:14
you have some screen used props props
40:17
from the florida project
40:18
that does make sense here's how you're
40:20
saying that she's very sad because she
40:22
wanted to go to the park she doesn't
40:23
want didn't want her mom to sell his
40:24
magic pants
40:38
because also this one was taken
40:38
and nowhere near the diner is where she
40:39
took the food and kind of kicked it to
40:41
the curb there
40:43
right next to the wizard
40:46
you guys use this a lot yeah so and then
40:49
there's another wizard down there at
40:51
people two wizards mistakenly visit
40:54
the wizard on the closer to highway 27
40:56
has a lot more creepy eyes
41:04
they are walking walking across near the
41:04
beginning
41:17
yeah painted his magician's cap
41:18
purple not too far away is future land
41:21
in
41:22
the rockets the rockets are gone
41:25
now here's the deal here's the deal with
41:27
the rockets you know those were here
41:30
and uh we changed it to future land in
41:32
because the idea was if magic castle
41:34
was where mooney lived representing the
41:36
magic kingdom
41:37
futureland represented epcot okay and
41:40
then we
41:41
actually had a third hotel a motel that
41:44
got cut out of the movie
41:45
that we wanted to have holland like it
41:47
was going to be called hollywood hotel
41:48
to represent the studio
41:50
formerly mgm disney mgm students yeah
41:52
it's interesting
41:54
you get the idea so but you found this
41:56
you chose this spot because of the
41:58
former rockets that used to be here
41:59
exactly and this hotel at least in my
42:02
little deranged disney brain represented
42:04
alcohol
42:05
people thought it represented maybe you
42:07
know uh
42:08
tomorrowland but i can see tomorrowland
42:10
too but it's it's yeah it's more
42:12
it's the epcot to mooney's magic kingdom
42:14
and you make it seem as if it's right
42:16
next door oh yeah but it's really about
42:18
two miles
42:19
from just distance wise yeah that's one
42:20
of our little cheats in geography
42:22
and it's right across the street from
42:24
medieval times there was a whole scene
42:26
there too that got caught we didn't
42:28
shot it but if it was in the original
42:30
script they went on a little adventure
42:32
by
42:32
the medieval times looking for room 116.
42:37
they had the door open i don't want to
42:38
disturb the residents but
42:40
now whose room was this so this was if
42:42
you give me one second
42:45
this was jancey's room right yeah how
42:47
much my mom was
42:49
grandma grandma grandma that's right
42:51
grandma
42:52
so they use two different sides they use
42:54
this side for one
42:56
room and then the other side which you
42:59
can see
43:00
medieval times from is one of the other
43:03
rooms so medieval times is over there's
43:04
called paradise in now
43:12
we're at jancy's room 116 and look we
43:12
have
43:12
live jancey herself oh valeria
43:15
kodo hi valeria how's it going
43:19

43:36

43:39
this is not
43:40
this is not the spit this is an oil oil
43:42
slick right
43:43
you can pretend that's a lot of spit
43:44
pretend they were spitting off of the
43:46
balcony
43:47
which was up top so 116 up directly
43:50
above
43:50
219 they were right up there spinning
43:53
down on the vehicle and look there's
43:54
some cigarettes down here where they're
43:55
out here
43:56
and i i have to say this whoever took uh
43:58
hilarious
43:59
room over is actually really cool look
44:01
at that stuff yeah they have like an owl
44:03
in the window
44:05
they just need an orange bird yeah they
44:07
just need an orange burger or orange
44:09
bird in there
44:10
so that's where mimi had her famous
44:11
crying breakdown
44:14
oh that's right here that see that door
44:17
and then she ran off what here
44:20
gonna recreate it go go
44:24
go to magic kingdom that was a great it
44:27
was a great scene
44:28
okay that's where we switch from 35
44:30
millimeter film
44:31
to iphone 6s plus it's up on the top
44:34
corner roof up there
44:36
that's where what was the character that
44:38
was uh living up there that ended up
44:39
moving out
44:40
i think and then they would have had he
44:44
was like giving away all his toys dad
44:45
was giving all these toys right here
44:57
you know we're not too far from the tree
44:57
either the tree is like in the same
44:58
neighborhood right
44:59
we should go by the tree let's go and
45:01
end it at the tree oh
45:03
yeah it'll be it'll be really cool to go
45:04
see it again yeah
45:12
the last time that i
45:12
was here on this ground was july 2nd
45:15
2016.
45:17
and that was before they moved pioneer
45:18
village which is over there
45:20
pioneer village was not here at that
45:21
time which is this little kind of old
45:23
town
45:24
section over here it was across the road
45:26
behind the super walmart
45:28
behind medieval times they moved it over
45:30
here they moved it over here a few years
45:32
ago oh
45:32
it might have been here then but it was
45:34
i don't even remember it hasn't been
45:35
here very long i think so don't quote me
45:37
on that but it was it's only been there
45:38
a few years
45:40
and this is the tree this was day three
45:42
day three of production
45:45
everybody's still getting to know each
45:47
other so it's a real credit
45:49
uh to valeria and brooklyn that they
45:51
could have that kind of camaraderie
45:53
just on the third day of shooting you
45:54
know they really
45:56
seemed like they were friends this is it
46:05
at least i'm assuming this is the truth
46:05
no this is the tree all right it's just
46:07
yeah it
46:07
what threw me off was the pioneer
46:09
village that's cause that was all
46:11
that was just nothing
46:15
wow i think the camera angle was from
46:19
over this way
46:20
so the camera would have been set up in
46:21
this shrubs
46:23
and they were just kind of perched right
46:25
there yeah eating their
46:27
jelly sandwiches right yep which was
46:29
taken right out of the
46:30
little rascals oh yeah sean's a big
46:33
little rascals fan and uh
46:34
and that but even the dialogue uh was
46:37
pretty much identical to a certain
46:39
episode
46:40
where they have jelly sandwiches this
46:42
total little
46:43
rascal's reference from sean that's so
46:45
neat they were sitting right up here
46:48
they had harnesses on that you couldn't
46:50
see or that they were digitally removed
46:51
or
46:51
just hit him in case they fell they were
46:54
like chained
46:55
to the trees yeah that's pretty high up
46:56
they couldn't fall yeah
46:59
oh you can see look up here there's
47:00
there's some little concrete and some
47:02
some screws up there that might have
47:04
been it it picks up the hidden harness
47:07
the hidden harness yeah
47:10
this is pretty wild actually i would
47:12
have to step back about
47:14
maybe 30 40 feet to get this angle which
47:17
i'm not going to do because
47:19
because you never know what kind of bugs
47:20
insects and or snakes
47:23
could be over in there but it was it was
47:25
this is what
47:27
there it is right there if only i
47:30
brought some bread and some jelly
47:33
i've never been up here oh
47:36
is this going to be a thing i regret it
47:41
how did you get up there so easily
47:42
because i can tell there's a step
47:43
formation
47:45
um i'm just going to record this whole
47:48
fact
47:52
