Another fun fact. The green building in Woodbury where the Governor did his governing was a facade. They actually lit it on fire in season 4 during the scene where the Governor is standing in front of it. Then they built a new two story building in place and that was where they filmed Eugene's apartment at the Commonwealth. That alley where he was burning stuff after finding out about Stephanie is right beside that new building.
If i lived in the Alexandria houses in real life i would 1000000% petition to the other neighbors and tell them to leave the giant walls .... cool video buddy thanks for the cool shots
Agreed on Commonwealth set. Too soon to say if the set remaining up means anything. I only say this because I did the studio tour that was running in 2019. The Sanctuary set remained up 8 months after they finished filiming there for good as I saw the set going around the studio grounds. I don't remember how long after that the Commonwealth set went up, but I believe the Sanctuary set was torn down prior to the Commonwealth set going up.
It would be nice to see something happen there before they tear it down - maybe Rick & Morgan having a latte talking about how they just got a message that Daryl & Carol are on they're way home
although some more stuff on X has shown production trailers at the studio again (you can see these through Grimes Gate in this video) - and also a new gas station set built in a dirt parking lot right outside the studio. ?????
As far as I know no one else uses it - I wonder if it could only be part of a promo (like the Rick & Michonne thing where they were just walking around) - we got BTS photos of Norman & Melissa doing that also at the 'Alexandria' sub division (it seemed like) ...but with the gas station set built - seems maybe more than a promo
All these years I thought the prison was just abandoned. About the rock quarry i wonder if they used it in season 9-10 to. The episode where alpha shows daryl the horde. I always wondered if thats the same rock quarry they used in season 6.
GA built so many studios it’s ridiculous. The one up the street from me caused the surrounding homes to skyrocket to $440k+. Not sure why as the studios seem empty all the time. I think GA got a big head from TWD. 😂 Hope it doesn’t tank.
Thank you for this amazing video - love the aerial shots! A friend who lives in Senoia, has told me he did some work for a production there recently, and he was working in Union Square of the Commonwealth set! He said the set is crumbling in places but is still very much intact. We're hoping it's because the set will be used again in one of the spinoffs - we think it's highly likely. My friend didn't elaborate on what the production was there - maybe he's not allowed to say. Time will tell! 😀🧟♂️
Amazing how it really looks compared to what we saw on TV. CGI gets a lot of criticism but from a setting standpoint. The Walking Dead did a great job. That complex looks small compared to the building we had on tv. I'm thinking the Commonwealth set is needed especially with Alexandria gone in real life. They can quickly mention in the story that the Alexandrians moved out of Alexandria because of the past damage with the whispers and Saviors. Also tie it into Major General Beale's theory about resources going scare.
I assume we will be getting a continuation of somthig and the common wealth will be are main area. Prolly say everyone from all the other communities moved to the CW just to make stuff easier.
I think there's still a couple sites you could see but does anyone know if it's actually worth going at this point in time? Do they have tours or specific spots you can still see? I always wanted to go and visit and never got the chance. Im in Florida near tampa so its prob 4-5 hour drive.
it's almost all gone - but there are a few - you can see Senoia and eat at Nic and Normans - there are a few "shooting locations" to see - but not nearly as many.
With the recent rumors of Mercer and Ezekiel returning the commonwealth set is still up for a reason maybe they return in The Ones Who Live S2 if they continue. Actors of Mercer and Ezekiel were hinting on a return on social media
So are we never going to see alexandria again if they took the walls down and gave it back to the public? Idk how many more walking dead content we will get but i atleast wanted to see everyone reunite in alexandria
I'd everything ok with you brother you sound like your holdin back some grief I'm sad the shows over too but sounds like maybe your dealing with more than that? Economy pretty rough lately huh

awesome

It’s amazing seeing just how many different areas and important plot points take place within such a confined area.
Did you get a chance to check out my Rick Journey Map?
The fact that Woodbury was bigger than the Commonwealth!!!🤣
haha yep
@@TWDExplained AMC does not know how to budget
I actually went to where they filmed Woodberry I went with my dad he never liked walking dead but he went all the way there just for me
awesome Dad!
Very Cool!
That's pretty cool to see it from the air.I pass Riverwood on my way to I75 omw to work dally Thanks, James, awesome shots.
I had no idea the various season sets were so close. 👍🏻
Lake was also where governor staring down at walker tied underwriter at the dock.
yeah - that was wicked
I was very fortunate enough to visit the studio in person and the sets were awesome there
The Hilltop shot is quite cool. Never knew that it was near the junkyard location and negans compound

@TWDExplained for sure! I'm just reacting cautiously to the news that the set is still up.
@TWDExplained that's interesting! Anybody else use the studio besides TWD? I know AMC owns it now.
As far as I know no one else uses it -

These aerial photos over TWD sets are really interesting! I didn't know the Junkyard set was so small. Thank you for letting us see these.
yes it's really cool to see them from the air! Thanks for watching!
These photos are really cool. Love your videos man. Its quite cool seeing the farm from above.
Thanks 👍
Cool subject I didn't think about before!

it's the tax incentives - going forward (now that AI is here) it depends on how much tech takes over the biz

Wow Awesome Video I always like learning about Locations from the The Walking Dead Shows Amazing Job James 👍
How Cool is that! Thanks for Sharing that. Really enjoyed it!
Yeah just now hilltop was buldozed even the wall s were removed only the holles remain 😭
These sets are still up Bc of the 3 shows , Daryl Dixson, dead city, & Rich & Michonne ,that have a season 2 coming up soon. i can't wait.
This is great! Ive been wanting a map of Alexandria and hilltop for the TWD RPG so I can run campaigns in these settlements lmao

And That's Awesome! 👊😎✊🍁
Thank you! Cheers!
Really cool to see this. Thank you.
Hey Gabriel!!!!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I assume we will be getting a continuation of somthig and the common wealth will be are main area.
Prolly say everyone from all the other communities moved to the CW just to make stuff easier.
They used senioa for the commonwealth also
I don't care where, we need a reunion between Rick, Daryl, Carol and Maggie.. the OG gang!
The OG gang is irrelevant w/o Morgan! He's the reason Rick is anywhere in life 💯
Do they still do TWD tour in senoia?
I honestly thought the quarry was completely green screen
CRM are big enough to go find commonwealth so it would be easy for Rick to go there
that is where Judith should have been (at the end of TOWL) - a field right near CW??
@@TWDExplained yes they should've been there
This is so cool honestly
In what state are these properties actually in - Hilltop, Alexandria, the set with the Sanctuary etc. They’re not really in VA are they?
all of it was filmed in Georgia, mainly south of Atlanta in Senoia
Not that big? Bro that trash heap is exactly as big as I had imagined! I'm surprised they went through the effort to build that.

Cooll!!!!!
I still want to know how the walkers got in the quarry. 😂
So are we never going to see alexandria again if they took the walls down and gave it back to the public? Idk how many more walking dead content we will get but i atleast wanted to see everyone reunite in alexandria
the only thing they may "recreate" from Alexandria could be Carl's grave site - but may never see it again
TWD the real ending. Living Vs the Dead.
I'd everything ok with you brother you sound like your holdin back some grief I'm sad the shows over too but sounds like maybe your dealing with more than that? Economy pretty rough lately huh
thanks for caring dear sir - yes the economy is rough for sure
But everything is ok, thanks!
@TWDExplained absolutely gotta look out for my fellow Tennessean zombie fan lol I'm over here near Johnson city in the mountains you have a discord?
Heelllloooooooo Johnson City!
I do - discord.gg/TcvdP5YT
This is called a “bird eye view” what is even “looking down”? You’re so bleak.
I'll change the title for ya
