0:25 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
