2024 my mom and dad arrived last night

0:27
welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:30
pretty excited about this my dad has
0:32
always wanted to check it out last year
0:34
he was not able to go on the trip to
0:36
Hawaii with my mom and I my mom and I
0:39
did the tour my dad was booked on the
0:41
the tour my mom and I to do last year
0:44
now last year my mother and myself got
0:46
really lucky and we were able to go to
0:48
Hill Valley courthous Square from Back
0:49
to the Future which is a rarity usually
0:51
they're filming back there and I would
0:53
say seven out of 10 times the tram does
0:56
not go back there nor do the VIP chores
1:00
that drop you off and walk around there
1:01
but we got lucky last time I'm
1:03
hoping that we were able to do that
1:05
today cuz my dad likes back to the
1:06
future he also likes the BS on Colonial
1:09
Street I think of all the spots that we
1:11
can get off those would be probably the
1:13
ones that he would be most excited about
1:15
however he's just kind of going with the
1:17

in this lab now I've done the rip tour
5:08
which is basically the tour for Horror
5:11
Nights if you do that and you get here
5:13
before hhn starts and you're using this
5:16
tier of ticket they do not have any
5:19
snacks up here for hhn so this is
5:22
exclusively just for the daytime non
5:25
Halloween events Academy Award from The
5:27
Sting Best Picture in 197 three that is
5:30
the Oscar right there and I'm kind of
5:33
noticing it looks as if the park is
5:34
about ready to their rope drop
5:35
experience you can kind of either sit
5:37
inside to have your little snacks you
5:38
know pre- tour or you can go out on the
5:40
balcony sit out there as well kind of
5:43
there really most people are choosing to
5:44
sit inside but the balcony's open and
5:47
you can see everyone's lined up for
5:49
Universal Hollywood's version of the
5:51
Rope drop experience which look like the
5:54
Park's going to be opening very very
5:55
soon I asked the guy if we're going to
5:57
be doing the Backlot first or not the
5:59
guy but with the person at the front to
6:00
check in desk and they said he said he
6:03
believes we're going to be doing the
6:04
back lot first then lunch and then the
6:07
upper lot which I always like doing the
6:08
Backlot first so I think that's going to
6:09
work out good whole inside Area here
6:11
look at this Phantom of the Opera poster
6:13
look this like vintage retro the Phantom
6:16
interrupts the mass ball on the grand
6:19
staircase all right making it over to
6:21
the studio tour you express ACC
6:24
everywhere all day even after I say
6:26
goodbye to you but when you come up to
6:28
each one of these attractions
6:30
vehle several times different things to
6:32
see outside the windows on both sides at
6:33
different points every seat's a good one
6:35
we're just going to leave uh this front
6:37
row here available every every other
6:39
seat's a good one climb on board make
6:41
yourselves
6:49
comfortable we're saying no because
6:49
we're a movie studio and they're filming
6:50
in there but it is arguably one of the
6:52
most iconic sets we have in our lot
6:55
especially if you're an Oregon Trail
6:56
Generation member like me you'll
6:57
remember set right away and we get to
7:00
visit a production facility the regular
7:01
Series where it doesn't even get drive
7:03
by pretty exciting uh couple of safety
7:06
rules you might see
7:12
uh so there's two guides on one bus to
7:12
assist you we as that while Ang we got
7:14
split gues sit back and relax emphasis
7:17
on S please stay seated on two devices
7:20
uh this uh chest is full of water let
7:22
marker myself do the lifting the lids a
7:24
little heavier than it looks and let's
7:26
make sure we take our time going up and
7:27
down these stairs because there is that
7:29
weird we diagonal step that tends to get
7:31
people it's usually your guide but don't
7:33
let it be you uh other than that that's
7:35
the sa you guys first female director in
7:39
Hollywood got her start right here with
7:40
Carl on your left sound C 12 was the
7:44
longtime production facility for NBC's
7:46
Pi seeing competition The Voice fans of
7:48
voice we'll be pretty close to their new
7:51
sound in just a little bit but besides
7:53
the voice here's some other projects
7:56
that they cast members and team members
8:00
hang out this particular production is
8:03
the Mac series tax turn smart which Mark
8:06
the AR today on the way they're coming
8:09
on location right there so they are
8:12
working today which you know um the car
8:15
on there they drive the car around on
8:16
the back of that so that the actors
8:19
don't have to drive that was featured in
8:21
this scene from theing a man on the
8:23
inside starting Ted dancing which is on
8:25
Netflix right now another Ted dancing
8:28
the mayor black uh they produce a lot of
8:31
great movies like La La Land Scot versus
8:33
the world but they also produce Broadway
8:35
musicals
8:38
hital this bungal used to be over where
8:42
Jurassic world is they moved it over
8:43
here years ago here's the it's unreal Al
8:48
Ariana grand is Glenda the chef's kiss
8:51
Jeff gold so good this one has to be
8:54
calling
8:55
for gosh we're going to Hill Valley
9:00
oh maybe not maybe not they fool me
9:02
going in
9:03
the stage 26 I thought we were going to
9:06
Hill Valley for our brand new called s
9:08
Denis medical which
9:27
Mark into of the quietness about 10% as
9:27
loud as 90% Sound Reduction just by
9:29
walking through the door come all the
9:31
way in come on we're not again we're not
9:32
in line come on in and that's what those
9:35
doors open all right as soon as those
9:37
doors those two doors are
9:40
closed I don't want to say it's 100%
9:42
soundproof but it is within a because
9:44
you could be firing guns and have horses
9:46
and people yelling and fighting it
9:48
didn't make any difference because you
9:49
weren't recording any sound as long as
9:50
you didn't walk in front of somebody
9:51
else's camera didn't matter once they
9:54
started to record sound it became much
9:56
more complicated because in those early
9:58
days whatever the sound they got when
10:00
they were filming the scene is what they
10:02
had to live with they weren't able to go
10:04
back and change it in what is now called
10:06
post production whatever the sound was
10:08
you got live when you were filming
10:10
that's what you had to live with
10:11
somebody messed it up had to go back and
10:13
do it all
10:31
hospital to tell you what this is you
10:31
immed just like a hospital
10:34
location um but how does something like
10:36
this come to be um it usually starts
10:39
with just a line in information from the
10:41
script goes to a production designer who
10:44
you can think of almost as the architect
10:47
of this space draw floor plans
10:49
blueprints sketch out important
10:50
architectural obviously not a real
10:52
elevator do fascinating you don't be
10:54
surprised when people like look at this
10:56
production assistant pulls a cord to
10:58
open these up
11:09
neat look through here yeah so go this
11:09
way pull out okay and then you're going
11:11
to see that there is nothing
11:14
yeah that's the second story right there
11:17
that's wild
11:19
yeah movie Magic right the name of the
11:22
show is St dennus
11:29
medical all right crossing my fingers we
11:29
go that way to Hill
11:51
this any interior scenes anywhere
11:51
but if they were what they would do
11:54
is they would get another Sound Stage
11:56
usually Productions will have uh two
11:58
sound stages
11:59
and one will be the hero set like we saw
12:02
that you see that set every episode and
12:05
another space have what we call swing
12:07
sets that swing in and for an episode or
12:09
after an episode like if we see um uh if
12:12
we see
12:21
Al put Jim Cary movie right here
12:21
outside they call yes
12:24
man so we're uh officially in our
12:27
backlog so they do do exterior shooting
12:29
and actually uh again I watch the latest
12:33
I am so excited we are back here and
12:35
they us this whole section they made it
12:37
just look like a parking lot even though
12:38
it's clearly just you know the outside
12:40
of the hospital but we're going to be
12:42
traversing next part together so walking
12:45
along with a wheelchair so that he can
12:47
sit just because there's a lot of
12:49
sitting that way there's no seat so he's
12:51
utilizing that to sit in which is nice
12:53
every stop off they just have one he
12:55
could sit in
13:03
and they those are complimentary they
13:03
are included with price of the
13:25
always my favorite was
13:26
I New York and this is a street where
13:29
band right
13:31
here and of I Wasing June this over here
13:36
is
13:37
the so you'll see them go in to this
13:40
building quote unquote but these are all
13:44
facades these are just the front and
13:45
size building there's nothing in there
13:48
uh when you'll see a character go into
13:50
that facade and you see them carry on
13:52
into the hospital that's two get film at
13:55
two different times cuz the inside is
13:57
where we just went if anyone wants a
13:58
group
13:59
medal let us know this is a good frame
14:16
stairs so it looks like oh look that
14:17
looks like an entry decorate so it looks
14:20
like it um and especially too if you're
14:22
doing like all you have to do is that
14:25
this director photography move frame the
14:27
shot to all you see is the house and
14:30
then instead ofing all the way across
14:32
town to a hospital turn theera Way's
14:36
world when I do this just put footage of
14:52
people
14:52
my they don't fil hardly ever does a
14:56
production film
14:57
scenes right away but what's really cool
15:00
about what how we're uh uh what we're
15:02
seeing now so definitely get photos is
15:04
usually these walls are bare uh this is
15:07
some set decoration that's left over
15:08
from a production that we cannot talk
15:10
about uh that was just here now here's
15:13
the thing Mark has been here for a lot
15:14
of years I have been here for a lot of
15:15
years and the reason we've been here for
15:17
a lot of years is when they say Danny
15:18
and Mark keep these projects secret we
15:20
keep them secret the easiest way for a
15:22
guy to lose their job it's be real cute
15:24
and smart be like hey look Harry Styles
15:25
is filming over there we told you Harry
15:27
Styles not filming over there very real
15:29
example got to check this out
15:33
doc so there it's a couple of things
15:36
weend it won't be as obvious uh if it's
15:39
a secret production star and if that
15:43
Star Waves I
15:57
cannot shark still looks fake
16:10
there's a bunch of cars back here so
16:10
they might be
16:12
filming oh my oh skateboard Chase right
16:18
there lose used to be right over there
16:21
it burned down
16:22
but this all kind of looks the same
16:33
right around the corner was the go ahead
16:33
and make my day
16:36
section I love this so
16:40
much I just want to like live in Hill
16:43
Valley a lot of people ask that here's
16:46
the thing uh Josh said this looks like
16:48
where Toby's Spider-Man kissed Mary
16:50
janeite not down look I I'm sickle man
16:55
around the corner come on through this
16:57
way you're going to recognize set right
16:59
away most of us don't say it don't say
17:01
it because not everyone's going to
17:02
recognize it right away we don't want to
17:04
rob anyone of that moment so I'm going
17:07
to talk in and around the production
17:08
that most of us are recognizing this
17:10
from so this set is Cally called
17:13
Courthouse Square it was uh used in some
17:16
classic Golden Era films like te Kill a
17:18
Mocking Bird sing Gregory pack one of my
17:21
favorites from the Golden Era Inherit
17:23
the Wind staring Spencer Tracy if you
17:26
love classic TV as much as I
17:29
recognizes this is where Biff was
17:31
driving his car down right here smashing
17:34
the manure
17:36
truck looks like everyone just
17:38
disappeared thin halfen restaurants
17:42
cigarettes maner truck was right here
17:46
right here was the manure truck
17:48
skateboard Chase of course
17:54
Gremlins first Twilight Zone episode
17:54
this was where the alley was
17:56
here oh
17:59
never gets old never ever gets old I'm
18:03
walking the same spot the Biff was going
18:07
after Marty in the manure truck was
18:09
right
18:29
there and these are still the same
18:29
still recognize it from Back to the
18:31
Future so what we're going to do we're
18:33
I'm going to make a little informal
18:34
queue here uh if anyone want I'm sure a
18:37
lot of people want photos in the
18:38
courthouse make a queue right here
18:40
Martin's going to get the photo for you
18:41
or should we bring it a little further
18:43
let's do it up let's go over this way
18:45
follow so the pillars are still in there
18:48
the doors are closed so the facade looks
18:50
a little bit different that's where doc
18:51
was up there same shot slightly
18:53
different angle but the trick of it is
18:55
we all have to be on this side yeah come
18:57
back and
19:07
then give me a milk
19:07
chocolate also interesting there's a
19:09
used car sign here cuz the mech's film
19:12
pre-b Back to the Future romantic St was
19:14
called used
19:19
cars there's that famous photo when they
19:19
were filming Back to the Future where
19:22
Tom Wilson and Michael Jay were here
19:24
talking to people on the tram you can
19:25
see you can look that photo up people
19:28
were doing the tram tour of course
19:38
Gremlins to outside of Boston and
19:38
printing him from Ted okay they bring in
19:41
big statue of John Hancock they have
19:44
that all decorated inside you can't see
19:45
the columns now anyway actually even
19:47
when the doors are open okay got because
19:49
they built a little vestibule of a high
19:50
school so this is where the original
19:52
tree from Back to the Future was they
19:53
put another tree here well or it's grown
19:56
a lot in 50 years but uh almost 50 years
19:58
but but um this was also where the light
20:00
pole right there right over there that
20:02
cuz this the the electric wire oh yeah
20:05
that ran from the uh clock tower on down
20:10
was connected to the right over here
20:12
yeah right there's the pole you can see
20:13
where the electric outlet is there and
20:15
then left to right as you're looking at
20:17
it is where the DeLorean had to get out
20:20
to Michael J fox started back down that
20:22
way accelerated left to right as you're
20:25
looking at it's the best my favorite
20:26
movie
20:32
everything will be
20:32
fine right here right freaking
20:40
here get the hell out of my car old
20:40
man right here right
20:43
here Biff was right here behind the tree
20:46
that used to be here the tree's been
20:48
replaced the
20:50
manure I remember
20:53

21:09
they've been rebuilt actually oh they
21:10
have okay Ghost Whisper were built that
21:14
out it's around the original for so even
21:16
these stairs aren't the same no really
21:18
okay built built a box out around here
21:21
so um you can see through the glass of
21:24
the door there to the left usually you'd
21:26
be able to see the original Colum there
21:29
but Ted has built a wall in front of him
21:31
so you can't see it so
21:34
cool the steps because these steps are
21:36
just wood plastered wood plaster and ped
21:39
wood they rot it away and been rebuilt
21:41
many many
22:03

22:04
sure on Monday we won't be tomorrow see
22:06
the voice stage mom yeah I did yeah she
22:09
loves the voice oh okay well I that's
22:12
not where it started it originally was
22:14
filming in stage 12 big one we drove by
22:17
first one you remember dirty hary go
22:21
ahead make my day there it took place
22:24
right there so like that scene when the
22:28
the criminals down there on the ground
22:30
he's laying against the side right there
22:33
and that's where Eastwood walks up and
22:35
that scene takes place right there right
22:38
next to Courthouse Square and back to
22:39
the
22:40
future I know s's a huge
22:43
fan but if Hobs and
22:46
Shop uh the scene where the big
22:49
motorcycle
22:51
chasing do you feel lucky well do you
22:56
punk well I was wrong
22:59
what were you wrong about there's no
23:00
restaurant down there well they probably
23:02
I mean they've changed many times over
23:03
the years so this has been used for so
23:05
many different things
23:06
sure I mean you've probably seen this in
23:09
a 100
23:10
movies well that's what's really cool is
23:14
couple um there's a new show on Hulu
23:17
called interior chin it's so good what
23:20
they did was they used that part as the
23:23
CH at the very least take a picture
23:27
here's last MO a change of habit with
23:29
Mary Tyler Mo obviously much different
23:32
set that's there than what's there now
23:34
so all this section here burned in '08
23:36
also the only thing in this whole area
23:38
down here that didn't burn down in 08
23:40
were those two sides of the courthouse
23:42
Square over there that I mentioned
23:43
earlier okay all the so I go ahead and
23:45

23:53
correct I didn't realize Elvis's last
23:55
movie was at a church that was filmed

tition so get as many reference shots as
24:19
you can and if you'd see anything that
24:22

24:23
lot of things um I think I've named all

you know who anime Wong was he was the
26:52
first Chinese American movie star in her
26:55
career she fought for better
26:56
representation of Asians on screen I'm
26:58
saying that a different way she was a
27:00
woman of color in the silent film era
27:02
standing up for the studio head that's
27:04
pretty bad EG this next building is the
27:06
Edith Head building named after one of
27:08
the most prolific costume designers in
27:10
our industry uh the fourth FL is the
27:12
costume uh the costume hor and the
27:13
bottom three fls are the prop Department
27:15

27:38
pictures this whole
27:39
time and they show them picture like
27:43
yeah we don't want that please we don't
27:46
want to be Associated please do not put
27:48
our name on it don't be just like we do
27:49
we do and they're prob so and 40 years
27:53
later over 40 years later without movie
27:56
we can remember
27:58
he
27:59
loves all right my friends we are two
28:02
sound changes in
28:07
is that's not
28:10
good oh wow
29:16
you give yourself a round of applause
29:16
yay California if you really want to
29:19
increase the drama of a scene the uh
29:24
Romance of the scene the fear and
29:26
suspense of the scene you can use the
29:28
weather to really accentuate those
29:30
things
29:35
ifag Lady Gaga standing right there on
29:35
that M but I always think about Fletch
29:38
lives with the Noah Arc scene where the
29:41
guys running down the water and the
29:43
water's Chas wait for the next time that
29:45
it's going to rain in Southern
29:46
California to film that scene it's going
29:48
to be a long wait so you got to be able
29:50
to create the rain in a very
29:51
controllable repeatable leg on demand
29:53
using a burial passion technique
29:56
overhead
29:57
sprinkler or rain Powers as they would
30:00
call them on set sounds a lot more
30:01
official but that's how they do it just
30:03
that easy even in this day and age
30:05
Sometimes the best special effects are
30:07
still the simplest special effects oh oh
30:11
oh my goodness look at him look
30:28
w just recently watched three

Patrick Stewart as Jean Luke theard but
30:47
immediately adjacent to the old Old

30:53
Hollywood this was the first area that
30:55

31:48
to time you uh voted to delay but now we
31:51

31:53
do something you only get to do on the

32:05
audience members of The Voice uh the NBC
32:08
singing competition show the audience
32:10

32:14
across the street right over there
32:15

32:22
still going to
32:24
be probably about 25 20 to 30 minutes
32:28
before we're back into the park close to
32:29
a restant again um uh follow me though
32:31
there this little concrete building that
32:33
kind of sits over here on your right
32:34
hand side follow me if you need the rest
32:35

32:37
The Bionic
32:46
Man Street we just call it Elm Street

32:47
green roof that's the structure where

comfortable mentioning on the tour when
33:20
there children on board that starred
33:22
Dolly Parton and Bert Reynolds the the
33:25
adults can ask me about that later I
33:26
prefer to think of that house as the
33:28
house of a Thousand Corpses from the Rob
33:31
Zombie directed or the Rob Zombie
33:34
directed horror movie in the same name
33:36
um the little street that runs over

Mysteria Lane when it was desper house
33:47
uh when desper house was filming down

group of super fans to to commemorate
34:02
the 30th anniversary of the release of
34:04
that movie not end but surrounding it

34:09
picture car a picture car is any vehicle
34:12
that is on set that is seen by the
34:15
camera that ends up in the shot some of
34:16
these picture cars we a lot more famous
34:18
than a lot of actors um on the left the
34:20
gyrosphere now that is from Jurassic
34:23
world and second picture car is down
34:25
here missing the sphere because the
34:27
sphere never really existed it was a
34:29
digital effect computer generated image
34:31
bouncing over to your right hand side uh
34:32
one of the stunt Ferraris from the
34:34
classic uh Tom celic version of Magnum
34:37
PI couple of Back to the Future Cars
34:39

34:42
the distant future um
34:45
2015 uh back over here to your oh and
34:48
the uh the Weasley family flying car we
34:50
have two flying cars over here that's
34:51
one is 17 1 12 different versions that
34:54
they used of that car well we got
34:55
another one that's up in the park that
34:56
you'll see bouncing over to your left
34:58
the black 1970 Dodge Charger driven by
35:01
Dominic tetto that is one of more than
35:03
50 different versions of that car that
35:06
used in the making of those movies but
35:07
the car that you see Dominic tetto then
35:09
Diesel Driving the very first time you
35:11
meet him in the first fast and furious
35:13
movie is that orange Mazda rxm uh his
35:15
first race against PA Walker then they
35:17
took the same basic car they put a
35:19
different body kit different graphics on
35:20
it and they used of the most ominous
35:24
sets still standing in Hollywood the
35:25
legendary bait motel and mother's house
35:29
from Alfred Hitchcock's Unforgettable
35:31
classic psycho starring Anthony Perkins
35:33
and Janet Lee now psycho is a notable
35:37
movie for a number of reasons not the
35:39
least of which well actually perhaps the
35:41
least of which it's the first movie to
35:44
ever show a toilet on screen in an
35:47
American motion picture up to that point
35:49
that had always been deemed as indecent
35:51
to show the house and this left side of
35:53
the house that you're looking at right
35:54
there that's all that oh and oh like
35:57
Norman himself is obious because his mom
35:59
is always yelling at him to clean up the
36:01
backyard right behind Norman's house is
36:03
one of the biggest sets ever
36:05
constructive for a motion picture the
36:07
spectacular crash site set of stev
36:09
Spielberg's 2005 version of The War of
36:13
the World 120 M from here the producers

36:23
$60,000 but it cost them well over
36:26
$200,000 in Transportation costs alone
36:29

about the tram pickup thing it it drops
