Hollywood Boulevard placemaking

Quote from: "Winstonio"New signs at the right site of Hollywood Boulevard, on the flat 2 buildings there are 2 new signs. I believe they are neon lights.

Can't help my feeling:
The 2 buidlings are very nice when you look them at the front...but what a pitty those 2 d buildings when you look them from aside (view from the HTH) or from behind when you are at the STT. They shoud put there 2 more real buildings on that spot and behind the tram tour the 2 d buildings. That should make more perspective and the tram tour part of the boulevard.

What kind of imagineers are working over there haha :shock:

More progress on this really nice "real" building:

What sticks out to me, is how realistic the 2D buildings appear on Photographs. All the 2D buildings in the states are obviously 2D on second glance, particularly in photographs. Is it just me, or maybe the weather and sky, but these look a lot more realistic, and harder to distingush between them and the 3D facades?

Yes, I agree. As the 2D backdrop was being built I actually thought it was 3D :lol:

Hilarious... I'm sure you'd be thrilled if someone stole your photos and didn't bother to mention you'd taken them. Show a little respect. :roll:

Winstonio · September 30, 2007, 05:55:06 PM

Why are you so dramatic?? Stole pictures??
Why ever put pictures on a forum, when you are afraid that someone else could steal your pictures....and beside that a bit of topic.

A bit childish reaction of you, but I will mention it in the future.
Everybody happy

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Yes, I agree. Its beautiful and very realistic. But against the HTH I don't like the perspective of the bankbuilding and the HTH.

Yes, well done! I don't see what the problem was. We're only asking that you give a little credit to the people who spent time taking and uploading these photos for other DLRP fans.

They're definitely better than DCA's sets, aren't they? I think it must be the windows put in separately to the background, and all these nice extra signs on top. I'm beginning to really hope WDS gets a couple more street sets in the future, seeing what the Imagineers have learnt.

Not having the fake blue sky probably helps a lot.

penfold12 · September 30, 2007, 10:59:54 PM

Totaly! blue sky always looks fake, and against the Parisian sky... I know I should not be premature , I have the same reservation about the tunnel if it is surounded by a grass hill. wonder how that will translate to 2D? Oh, just thought, wonder what it will look like covered in snow? they dont have that issue in the US parks.
