Un des chefs d oeuvres du génie Buster keaton et sont film préféré. Pourtant le film ne sera pas succè qu' il espérait ainsi que la production qui s'en souviendra . Au fur et à mesure pour Buster Keaton l étau va se resserrer surtout quand il va se retrouver à la MGM .

What software do you use to be able to make so many different effects ? Like that effect with the yellow circle moving at 1:33
@SilentLocationsbyJohnBengtson Ай бұрын
I use PowerPoint, from which you can export the presentation as a video. The best tool is the "morph" transition. If you "morph" between a circle on one slide to the circle on a different spot on the next slide, the circle will glide from one spot to the other.

Wow, a masterpiece itself. There's a beautiful story here...about the story-makers. I have been to these places but could never put them all together in my head. You even managed to find the BIRD'S EYE VIEW, showing us the where and how. I can see it now. You've pulled it all together in such a way that it is much like taking our hands and showing us what was always there, hiding in plain sight. John, you must love this stuff as much as we do...only you have the tech skills. Wow, like a new art form. Sorry! I'll shut up now! Thank you!

It is sad to see how much these cities have changed, ugh, progress. I am glad he filmed where he felt the most comfortable during this time (memories of Roscoe 😢), plus he had so much going on in his life. It was such a shame he was not given a dressing room while employed at MGM. I do believe the apartment was also his home away from home at times. I am just so happy to see another new video from you Mr. Bergtson, great job and thank you for your hard work.

Buster chose to "reside" outside of MGM. Louis B Mayer later insisted Keaton employ a dressing room inside the studio instead. Buster called his custom-built dressing room "Keaton's Kennel," a subtle dig at Mayer. I have a blog post showing where the Kennel once stood wp.me/p11nfB-3jC
@cynthiamachado7915 3 ай бұрын
@@SilentLocationsbyJohnBengtson I forgot about the “Keaton Kennel”. I’ve read that years later before he left MGM Buster nearly destroyed said place after a drunken episode, because of his ongoing battles with Mayer and just upset at how his life turned out. I guess that is why he bought the home on wheels and proceeded to have it parked on the MGM lot. That is until Mayer threw him off the lot and fired him. Poor Buster 😢.

These videos are great. I had a studio in the bank building on the corner of Hollywood and Cahuenga for years and probably walked past the Chaplin-Keaton-Lloyd Alley a hundred times and never knew what a treasure it was until I started watching these videos….and the movies associated with it have been some of my favorites for quite some time. Keep up the good work!

As always, a fantastic job! I live in Santa Monica (still) so it's always fun seeing my city from so long ago. Pretty much, the only location still around from when Buster was at the Santa Monica Pier is the Louff Carousel. Which can also be seen in The Sting. But they had to cover the windows since it was supposed to be Chicago, and the Pacific Ocean would be a very odd thing to see from Chicago. I didn't get that when I first saw The Sting since I was about 12 years old, and so I never could figure out how everyone got to California so fast. 🤣🤣 Fun fact (at 5:52) : Between the Carousel and what used to be the bowling alley is a passageway, where you can find a stairwell. At that point is where Hooker (Robert Redford) meets Billie (Eileen Brennan) in The Sting. The stairwell is still around too.
@SilentLocationsbyJohnBengtson 3 ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing The Sting stairwell. I find it fascinating Buster filmed on a pier, but the shots never show they were on a pier. Maybe it was the easiest way to film a tracking shot in the rain.

Interesting how there was a large gas-o-meter tank right next to the Pickford-Fairbanks studio. I had read a while back that the Chaplin Studio was moved farther in from the street in the late 1940s, when the street was widened.
@SilentLocationsbyJohnBengtson 4 ай бұрын
Yes, the south end of the studio (projection room, Charlie's office) were physically moved east to accommodate the street widening. The north end buildings (laboratory, editing room), were not moved but trimmed flush to the new sidewalk, and are now narrower. The gas-o-meter next to PF Studio must have been frustrating for the stars, it limited the point of view camera angles when filming on the backlot.
