My good friend's Dad was a structural engineer who was hired to help build the one-eyed Willy pirate ship set. My friend even got to visit the set as a little kid, he was probably 5 years old at the time, so he barely remembers it, but still pretty awesome!

My father was an IATSE Local 44 propmaker for over 30 years. I followed him into the business in 1995. One of my first big features was Batman and Robin on Stage 16 at WB. I spent 13 years of my life on soundstages building sets for film and TV. Everyone in the comments has this romanticized idea of these stages as fantastic places where movie magic happens. When you work there that idea wears off real quick. They are big,hot,dirty,smelly, warehouses.

Smelly? You should expect it smells like wood and paint constantly

@King-Kazma 9 ай бұрын

@@edz8067On top of wood and paint, you add dirt, dust, greens (plant matter), a hundred sweaty people, an unfiltered tank of water, literal horse shit, and many thousands of watts of lighting. Then you shut the door while filming is taking place, and reduce the ventilation. I have worked on stages that had turf put down that was watered overnight. Sound stages smell dank if you are lucky.

@michaeloliver1905 9 ай бұрын

I absolutely agree, but we romanticize about we don’t know. Its like when I talk to people about being in the Army and at war. Their perception is completely different from what it is actually like. This here I think is more about the movie and the props and what they invoke from our memories of that period of time in our lives. The building is a symbol of what was created there. I believe you that the conditions were horrible.

I used to work at Sony Pictures who own MGM studios. Their largest stage also has a plaque listing all the movies shot in it, including The Wizard of Oz. I worked on that stage many times for Stuart Little and Hollow Man. They also have a water tank stage.

@Omnicient. 9 ай бұрын

The stage you mention at Sony (MGM) is Stage 15: 310 feet long by 134 feet wide by 40 feet high and is larger than the above Warner Bros Stage 16 which is 238 feet long by 134 feet wide by 65 feet high; if the floor is removed it takes the height to almost 90 feet high depending on the needs of the film.

It's crazy to see they raised the sound stage to make it bigger in addition to removable flooring for a water tank. It would explain the flying buttress on the outside of the building which is needed to support the new height.

Who else thought they still had that ship up and that's the reason why they don't allow many people in it. Could you imagine how many more people would visit if that ship was still up. I bet the people that work to build those sets get a big laugh when the movies come out because they know everything that went into making it. It's just like actors that will say they have never seen a movie they have been in

My cousin worked at WB studios mid '00s and got my gf & I guests passes on the lot. We walked around the stages some were locked, some weren't. The open sets we walked into were Cold Case, ER (the main hallway way so small/narrow), & Poseidon (mentioned in this clip). I asked an employee what movie was being filmed, as there was a huge ship for the set; he stated Poseidon & that the stage next door (16) had the cap-sized model & he told us excitedly like we were familiar w/ the original film, had no clue what he was talking about lol but responded intriguing.
