Behind the scenes of the famous film studio
Today the author to give you a photo tour of his visit to the studio of one of the most famous film companies of the world under the name of Warner Bros, which is located in California. Just under the cut you will expect some interesting facts about it and show the filming location of popular films and TV series.
Thus, the company is named after the four Warner brothers, Harry Warner, Warner Albert, Sam and Jack Warner Warner, whose parents were in the 19th century, emigrated from the Russian Empire (from what is now Belarus) in the United States.
Three older brothers became engaged in the film industry back in 1903, showing films for mining workers in Pennsylvania and Ohio. In the same year in New Castle (Pennsylvania), they opened their first cinema "Cascade". In 1904 the brothers founded the company Duquesne Amusement & Supply Company (which became the forerunner of Warner Bros.), which is engaged in distribution of films.
At the urging of Sam Warner, the company began to actively develop the film with sound, and in 1926 began to produce films with sound and sound effects. In 1927 he was released the film "The Jazz Singer» (Jazz Singer) to the dialogue. The film became a sensation and marked the beginning of the era of "talking paintings».
In 1929, Warner Bros. released their first full color film «On with the Show». The second color painting "Broadway Gold Mine» (Gold Diggers of Broadway), became so popular that it was shown in theaters for a decade. Thus began the era of color film.
Because of recent high-profile films are created, "The Matrix", "The Terminator," "I - The Legend", "Tom and Jerry," "The Dark Knight," "X-Men" and the series of Harry Potter films.
These purely American houses specially built for the filming of American melodramas.
Almost everywhere in no ceiling; it is made specifically for the installation of additional space for equipment.
Remember the scene from "Sex and the City"? Many of them were shot right here.
In fact, shooting in the studio, for obvious reasons is prohibited, but I still managed to take some photos.
The largest in the world's cine verhauze create scenery and entire scenes for the upcoming film.
There may even build a whole city, if required by the script and the project promoted enough.
Then fragments are rented to other studios.
Hollywood producers are extremely cautious with new experiments: in the pilot survey is almost always allocated minimal funding. When investors see the success of another project, only a sufficient amount of invested funds for further promotion.
As it happened, for example, with "Paranormal Activity," which was shot for just $ 15, 000. After the screening of the film at several American film festivals and huge success at the box office, Warner Bros suggested that the creators withdraw horror film "Pripyat» (Chernobyl Diaries), which will be released here two months later.
"Informant" with Matt Damon, "Nemesis" with Gibson, "The Hangover," "Star Wars," "10,000 BC," "Fool's Gold," "Superman Returns," "The Departed," Scorsese - for some the manufacturer of these films received the "Oscar».
Passing by, I casually touched the greasy couch, on which all 10 seasons of "Friends" Jennifer Aniston sat :-).
