12 YEARS A SLAVE (2013) Filming Locations | New Orleans, LA & More! THEN AND NOW | Solomon Northup

[@chloebai1366]

I just back from my trip to Nola, visited a few plantation there and reminded me of this movie. Thanks for making this video! I thought the street scene was shot in a fake set but it was shot in a real street… wow

[@GoingtotheMovies]

With all the CGI in that shot, I was surprised as well. Hope you enjoyed New Orleans! It's a whole different world down there!

[@ZachGoulet]

Dude I just found your channel recently and have been going through all your videos! These are so well done man! Please keep making more!!

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thank you so much, Zach! I will definitely continue to make them. I have a bunch already filmed, but the editing takes a while. Stick with me and I'll keep rolling em out!

[@ZachGoulet]

@@GoingtotheMovies You’re a legend! Can’t wait to see them bro!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@tabithaharvey5665]

Really great!! I've found myself unfollowing other "Film Location" channels because they are sometimes so disrespectful or just annoying!! Finding this was just a pleasant suprise and I'm on to watch more. Already subscribed!!!

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thank you! There is lots to come. And, I will try my best to not be annoying but I can't make any promises, haha!

[@hitslidesafe1]

Enjoyed this video. I actually was working for, St. Joseph & Felicity Plantation's when, 12 Years was filmed. Quite an experience and so proud of our venue.

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thanks! I bet having a production around is very exciting!

[@vanwells1255]

wow this is amazing! how are you not getting thousands of view?! great content!!

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Wow, thanks Van Wells! Hopefully one day 😉. Either way, I'll be putting out videos because I love making them!

[@adrianfuegoscuro6308]

Excellent work! Thanks

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thank YOU, Adrian!

[@lisaharrod8386]

I liked your vid very much...I am partial to the Old South...historically and culturally. 12 Years a Slave is an important story...harrowing and poignant. It was very interesting to see the locations...places as old as Northrup's tale of woe and redemption. Nice work! And thank you for sharing...peace!

I love seeing home! I'm from Destrehan, LA. I live in New Orleans now. What background music track did you use when you're showing the mule barn at Destrehan, Plantation?

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Hey Susanne! The one at the end of that segment is called Maroon by Fabien Tell. Its from a music library called Epidemic Sound.

[@kristinjyc]

This was awesome! I just watched this film a few days ago and I’m so intrigued by Northup’s story, trying to find out more and more!

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thank you, Kristin! I’d never heard of Solomon Northup before the movie came out but his story is so inspiring. Next time I go to Louisiana I hope to see the real life locations on the Solomon Northup Trail.

[@pizzaprince]

This was a cool vid. Interesting and informative. I really enjoyed it!

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thank you, Pizza Prince!

[@77bassx]

Great video

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@donaldbattiste27]

I love the part where you show Solomon getting out of the carriage in front of the Columns Hotel over the footage of a Tesla parking in front.

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Yeah, I probably should’ve waited for them to move, but I didn’t want to get hit by a cable car!

[@LeslieLove]

Omg not to throw shade at anyone but at Felicity they told me that the scene where he’s running up to the house and you can see the stairs was shot there and the crew added stairs. I just went again recently and now trying to match up my picture and now seeing your video I can see that’s not the case. Although scenes did film at Felicity that particular scene did not and they even have a picture there saying it did. Excellent video!

Tear rolling

[@TodayInKeyWest]

Another excellent video, Ryan!

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thanks, Ricky! You are the man!

[@dreamdisturber]

Great video and awesome channel theme! I know some people who worked on that movie.

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thanks Darren! Between the subject matter and hearing that they shot it in only 35 days, I bet this was a tough movie to work on.
