Warner Brothers Studio – Burbank

After a night of beer I was feeling quite groggy this morning when Tino picked me up.
He got me to Warner Brothers for around 930 am, so I was able to regain my energy by gulping down a couple of coffees in Starbucks (I seem to be spending a lot of time in Starbucks… ).
The studio tour was absolutely incredible.
While I took the “short” two and half hour tour, there is also a longer one which lasts about 5 hours or so. After today I am seriously considering forking over the extra cash to take it.
Why?
Because it is amazing. I can’t think of suitable adjectives to describe it. I keep on coming up with silly words like “awesome” or “cool”, which really don’t do justice to the experience.
While I did get to see plenty during the tour the lot is huge, so going back for a longer tour would be really worth it.
If I was a Gilmore Girls fan I’d have been in 7th heaven, as we got to see them filming (albeit from a safe, off camera, distance).
The bat mobile driven by Christian Bale was probably one of the morning’s highlights, so I tried to take as many photos as possible. I only wish I had a better camera, as some of the photos came out looking pretty awful and I wasn’t able to get the right kind of views.. (note to self – buy a better camera)
What really amazed me was how passionate the staff of WB are. They seem to really love their jobs.
Needless to say I did succumb to temptation in the gift shop and am now the proud owner of several branded tshirts, keyrings etc.,
I’ve added a few of today’s photos to my Flickr stream
