injuries.com. Oh, welcome everyone. I'm
0:25
in Alabama today. I'm going to show you
0:27
the filming locations from Tim Burton's
0:29
classic movie Big
0:37
Fish. Join me, shall you?
0:37
Who me? Who me? Who me?
0:42
All right, come
0:51
on. This is the house Edward Bloom lived
0:51
in in his older age right here. And for
0:54
that, it was all the riches a man could
0:57
ever want.
0:58
That's awesome. Almost looks like it's
1:07
abandoned. Check it out. Here's the pool
1:07
where he was cleaning the pool right
1:10
there. That's
1:15
awesome. That's where the fish was
1:16
swimming around.
1:29
There's the famous pool right there. The
1:29
big fish pool. That's the house.
1:32
Awesome. Of course, the pool's right
1:34
over there. If you're in the way of the
1:37
pool, it's over
1:39
there. Here's a trivia question for you.
1:42
What happened
1:44
here? This is where the giant stood.
1:53
This is also where he got the keys to
1:53
the city. Right in front of here. Take
1:55
with you this key to the city. They were
1:57
both standing right here. And the crowd
1:59
of people was over here. He shot a
2:01
couple different scenes right in this
2:02
area. And right now there's a guy up
2:04
there in that window gawking at us. You
2:07
ain't going to stop in America. We will.
2:10
Calm down. Calm down. Everybody calm
2:13
down. Calm down. Everybody calm down.
2:16
That's enough. calm down.
2:28
The parade route that they would have
2:28
walked down would have been right down
2:29
this road, straight that way. In fact,
2:31
you can see those white awnings as the
2:33
giant walks underneath them. The giant
2:36
would be right here where my tripod is.
2:38
Pretend my tripod is a giant. We're
2:41
reimulating the parade right now. I'm
2:43
one person and my tripod is another
2:45
person. It's only a threeman parade and
2:47
one of us is a tripod. But that's all
2:49
right. We're having
2:56
fun. She's smoking a cigarette enjoying
2:56
the parade just like this guy in the
2:58
movie was. Same pole right here. Same
3:00
awning. The camera would have panned up
3:02
like this and that's where the parade
3:04
route would have been.
3:14
There's a police officer over there
3:14
blocking traffic right there. In fact,
3:16
they're having a parade out here. How
3:18
ironic. Are you still smoking over
3:20
there? No. You're supposed to get back
3:22
over there and smoke. No
3:25
smoke.
3:32
Excellent. I like all these rod
3:32
iron. We got some
3:35
wasps. Check out these windows right
3:37
here. look familiar because that's them.
3:40
And here's the shot again of what they
3:42
look like now. See this map right here?
3:44
Bam. It was hanging right there.
4:12
Well, hello again. Due to the nature of
4:12
the road being blocked off due to a
4:14
parade, which is ironic cuz there was a
4:16
parade in the movie. There's a real life
4:17
parade when we're here, but due to that
4:19
nature, that road is now blocked off.
4:22
Look at this. There's some kids over
4:23
there on on top of that scaffolding of
4:25
that bridge. That can't be safe. They're
4:27
watching the
4:28
parade. They just got told to come down.
4:31
Look. Look.
4:33
busted.
4:42
The car barricades down that bridge. It
4:42
was a helicopter shot. The helicopter
4:44
would have been fluttering around. But
4:47
over here, you see the church at the end
4:48
of the road. That's where the giant
4:50
stood and tipped the old woman's car on
4:53
its side. And you can see that church
5:01
right over this way is where the red
5:01
charger would have been parked in the
5:03
parking lot of the dream sequence at the
5:04
end of the movie. They actually would
5:06
have been coming right out of those
5:08
doors there.
5:23
It's
5:23
cold. Spinning out the tires. It would
5:26
have pulled right out that way.
5:34
There are some cool looking clouds. Are
5:34
those cumulan nimbus clouds? Cotton
5:37
candy clouds. Ah, that's the technical
5:38
term. Yeah. So, this is the school where
5:41
he would have gone and proposed to his
5:44
wife. They called it Auburn University
5:47
in the movie, but it's really not Auburn
5:48
University.
5:50
This look familiar to you?
6:24
Sandra
6:24
Templeton, I love you and I will marry
6:27
you. I think right up here's where the
6:29
sky riding
6:50
This is the dark corridor pathway that
6:50
he took on the way to
7:02
town. Man, this is pretty
7:02
crazy. And Tim Burton's stomping ground
7:06
appears to be made out of foam.
7:08
Yeah, it is styrofoam. Some sort of
7:10
outer shell on it. All this is fake.
7:14
It's not real wood. There's a chunk of
7:16
it right down
7:18
here. That actually hurt, but not as bad
7:20
as you think it would, cuz look, it's
7:22
like styrofoam on the
7:24
inside. Let's move on. Check out
7:32
that. A lot of mosquitoes out here,
7:32
though. Bugs.
7:38
movie magic here in Alabama. This is
7:38
pretty wild. Look at this. This is a
7:40
fake
7:41
tree. Look at this. Completely
7:44
fake. Nothing real here except me and
7:49
her right there. She's real. Check this
7:51
out. Set number eight piece there.
7:55
Stabilizer there. It's like a piece of
7:56
metal. Stabilizes this tree to keep it
7:59
from falling apart during
8:05
filming. Think I can get through this
8:05
way. This is the back side of the set.
8:09
Check out the restructured here. Make
8:11
sure that tree would stay in
8:33
place. Definitely changed a lot. You can
8:33
see the tree branches still in the same
8:34
arch. All this has grown over, of
8:37
course, and he would have walked
8:38
straight through
8:57
Spectra. The shoes would have been
8:57
strung straight across
8:59
there.
9:00
His shoes would have been dangling right
9:03
there. Right there. His shoes would have
9:05
been
9:07
dangling. Right over here on this porch
9:09
was where the guy from Deliverance was
9:22
sitting. The kid all grown up from
9:22
deliverance right
9:25
there. It's amazing what's left of this
9:27
place. All decaying. I don't think
9:30
anyone's been sitting on this porch in a
9:31
while. This fence is pretty awesome.
9:44
The faux age. Faux. What does that mean?
9:44
That means that the first shot they had
9:46
it painted one color and they faked aged
9:48
it the next. That's true. You can see
9:50
both colors there. What' you call it?
9:51
Faux aging. Fauxing. Here's where the
9:53
general store was. It looked like
9:55
someone has actually burned it down.
10:03
Brad, welcome to you. It's a general
10:03
store right there. Rest in peace.
10:13
I'm standing in the same spot as you and
10:13
McGregor. Check out the background
10:14
behind me. You were expecting me?
10:35
I think this house here next to the
10:35
church is where they had the dinner
10:36
scene. Let's go around the back is the
10:39
backside
10:46
here. This big chunk of the ceiling has
10:46
actually fallen from up there. See where
10:48
all the lighting framework was there for
10:50
the shot they filmed in this room. So,
10:52
we got to move this to get our shot.
10:55
Got to go to work.
11:10
Oh yeah.
11:10
High five. Thanks to Nikki and thanks to
11:13
me. We move that out of the way. Now we
11:15
have the shot here. This is the dinner
11:18
scene
11:24
shot. They were sitting right there.
11:24
table would have been there. Fire would
11:25
have been
11:26
there. Right down here below is where
11:30
the little girl stole the shoes. Right
11:40
there. She's a thief. Watch out. There's
11:40
mudbers there. Put your finger in
11:43
there. Smash your finger up in there.
11:45
Come on. Do it.
12:11
There's no floor in that church. There's
12:11
no floor. There's no nothing. If you
12:12
look in the windows, just empty. Check
12:16
that out. Completely empty. That giant
12:18
ant mound. Whoa. You're right. Jab it.
12:21
Ready? Yes.
12:23
Here's proof that they only fix up the
12:25
things you see in front of the camera.
12:27
This is the back side of the church.
12:30
Never finished, never painted, nothing.
12:32
Any clue what this might be. Kind of
12:35
weird. Slab of
12:37
concrete on the very back side. I wonder
12:40
if this is where they set up their food
12:41
preparation table. Maybe this was the
12:44
craft services table.
12:50
This is where the dance scene was here
12:50
where they were spinning around. It just
12:52
kept spinning, spinning
13:16
That's the house there that the giant
13:16
pushed to get back in shape. The giant
13:18
would have been standing right there.
13:20
Push the house back into shape. That's
13:21
the house right
13:38
there. It's where the piano would have
13:38
been. Right there. She would have opened
13:39
the door. Um, are you Jennifer Hill?
13:44
I
14:13
Of course, the funeral would have
14:13
happened right in here. It's where the
14:15
casket would have been. Family was all
14:17
sitting over there. Of course, all the
14:19
friends were way out in this area here.
14:35
A man tells his stories so many times
14:35
that he becomes the
