Current Talk '05 II / Re: The 2004 WB Pilot
« on: September 14, 2005, 10:45:17 PM »To those of you who've seen the pilot -- tell us about the Old House. I have read that the entir exterior was computer generated. How did it look? Can you describe it? Anything like the original Old House?
Unfortunately, we only get a very brief glimpse of the exterior, so it would be very hard to descibe it with any detail. But it looked nothing like the Old House in the daytime series or in hoDS. It was far more elaborate and certainly not in the Greek Revival style. If anything, it reminded me more of the Lockwood-Mathews mansion, which was used as the monastery in hoDS.

How about the inside? Was it impressive? Appropriate?
The interior was also quite elaborate. In fact, one of the articles on the pilot describes it as Barnabas' "most opulent home yet."
Some of the interiors were shot at the Los Angeles Theater. Check out this topic for a link to some Web sites depicting the inside:
... Speaking of the LA Theater, I came across two interesting photos of the interior...

During this entire discussion, there has been little talk of the sets. I'd love to hear some opinions . . .
Can you share?
Sorry about that. I keep meaning to come back to this topic to post quite a few more opinions, but I haven't found the time as yet.
Speaking of which, I keep meaning to post that the pilot did indeed include background music. It didn't feature Bob Cobert tracks, though - instead music from the films Jennifer 8, Klute and Deep Red were used to what I thought was great effect.
