1. Photo Shoot – Lighting fixture section, Property Department , Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank, CA

Talk about re-purposing! For Renee Beresford’s modeling gig, they just went over to the property building and set up shop in the lighting fixture area. Some of the chandeliers were lowered and some dramatic standing fixtures were moved in to make a very effective backdrop for the high fashion photo shoot.

Here are some additional pictures of the lighting department from our recent tour.







It really is an amazing place - each item is tagged and barcoded so you can see at a glance all the productions it has been used in. The staff in there aren't used to having tours coming through - and I think they were rather thrilled. They had pictures of the scenes from Moonlight on their wall and were only too happy for us to poke around.

Some of the other ladies got some great pics so I'm sure they'll come and add them.

Sorry to take so long in adding these.

Here are a couple of pics of the photos on the wall that Red mentioned...






Here's a shot of the very distinctive figural lamps...



And these are the stairs where Beth stood to do her report (thanks to Alle for this shot)...

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I would like to do the WB tour one day. It seems BC didn't have any outside location shoots.

It's possible that it didn't, helloeeze. We don't know about the interior of Club Valis. It was either created on a soundstage or it could have been a location outside of the studio. Fielder's choice.

I very vaguely remember someone (Alex???) saying that how much an episode costs varies a lot, taking as an example that when one has to film in a club it gets way more expensive. So at the time I assumed they had done that... Anyone remembers that???
