:23:01
This was an old movie theatre
which had become a gospel church.

:23:06
We didn't actually...
:23:08
We lit that exterior in that wonderful way
:23:10
but this interior pre-existed,
Nando found this,

:23:15
this is a location.
:23:17
We didn't paint this ourselves,
we left it the way it was.

:23:21
But the only way to see it
was from up on high.

:23:24
At eye level
it wasn't a very interesting place.

:23:31
Even though I did shoot from eye level,
I didn't use those angles.

:23:36
Here's the Black Pope,
he was a disc jockey then

:23:40
who I fell in love with.
:23:42
He talked over all these songs
all the time.

:23:46
I would listen to the Black Pope
on radio all day long.

:23:50
She says, "Wear it out, Pope."
:23:52
He was a famous disc jockey
in New Orleans at that time.

:24:06
This woman was an extra, the taxi driver.
:24:10
She came in with those two glasses,
and looked terrific.

:24:13
When those things happen
you just have to use them.

:24:17
We are in New Orleans now,
:24:20
at one of the entrances -
:24:23
the older side entrance,
which we made into the main entrance.

:24:27
We will move from New Orleans
to the backlot at Universal shortly,

:24:33
as we go up into a matte painting.
:24:42
So the bottom is in New Orleans,
:24:44
the top is a painting of a set in California.
:24:50
Now we are back
in California on that set.

:24:54
We built this whole zoo
on the backlot.

:24:57
It was up for a number of years
as part of the Universal tour.
