The Lasky studios. They have a casting building where people seeking employment don't have to go through the studio, but directly to the casting directors building. Hmmmm... Reminds me of the term "casting couch".
Nice job! So many studios I didn't know existed. Would be fascinating to see a drone shot of each of these locations currently, side by side with these historical shots.
Evidently many merged or moved. Culver city really looked like the hinterlands. I think of Goldwyn being on Santa Monica Blvd in east side Hollywood, but looks like it started in culver city? Wrecking ball must have taken other studios. I didn’t see paramount on Melrose. That one dates back. Did Hal roach become Selznick studios? Interesting video. Thanks.
I didn't see Paramount Studio. I probably missed it. And including some street level shots would've been nice,with respect to the associated aerial shots. And some arrows on the photos would've also been nice when pointing out the specific buildings and places that he was talking about. I kinda got disoriented about which direction was which. I'm suppose I need to watch it again, and again.
Yes, Gary; colored areas and/or arrows would have immensely added to the intelligibility of this video tour. I generally had no idea of what he was discussing or pointing out . . . .
Hey, been subscribed for a while. Great vid showing the layout for posterity. Can I make a suggestion...? Sometimes my eyes can't quite keep up with what you are describing from a positional standpoint. Perhaps you could do a re-edit of this exact video with some kind of visual notation (like an arrow, circle, label or something) superimposed onto the photos to emphasize what you are referring to as you speak. I follow some of it, but not all.
Does anybody know if the "Chaplin Studios" are still there on La Brea? When I lived there in the 80's and 90's it was A&M Records. One time my ex was leaving as George Harrison was arguing with the guy at the gate saying "Do you know who I am"? He was even on that label at the time!!
I feel obligated to tell the producers of this video that the "City of Hollywood" is in Florida, NOT California. The California "Hollywood" is NOT a city, and never was, it's a part of the City of Los Angles.
Some of them mistreated the celebrities but indeed, they put up with some great films and productions, the 20s were the decade for film and mark on pop culture.
Just remember the studios came to Hollywood because they didn't want to pay the license fees to Edison for his cameras. Crooked from day one. First movie produced in Hollywood was "The Squaw Man". Producer wanted to set up in Phoenix, but it was raining when he got there, so he continued to Hollywood.

All that open land! All gobbled up in a flash. Thanks. Your channel is unique.
The Hal Roach studios also filmed the Little Rascals. They just opened the gate and they filmed right out on the residential neighboring streets.
Hal Roach studios also filmed some early tv shows such as My Little Margie with Gale Storm and Charlie Farrell. 1952-1957.
Isn’t Vitagraph the same thing as Warner Brothers studios? Thanks
A large tree still stands at the corner of Washington and National in Culver City, shading a plaque commemorating the location of Hal Roach Studios.

L.A grew up absurdly along with many cities on the 1920s.
There wasn't 10% of the buildings we have today back then.
And if Putin gets his way they'll be none
I got to work on the old Desilu Studios lot a while back. It was like walking into the past it was so magical.
Finally, my boy is back
This is all previous to the 1924 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer merger.
Yes. Louis was relegated to the back lot portion of some other studio. Mergers and shakeouts yet to come.
Keep going with the outstanding content !

Wonderful Tour!
Wow. Just wow!

Thank you.
Nicely done overview.
Being a fan of John Steinbeck, I would love to see California someday.
I probably never will because I was warned about the expense it would require.
It's not pricey unless you make it so

I can't picture George Harrison being so obnoxious. Odd.
@@Bigbadwhitecracker Yeah, I thought so too. But people who knew him have said he could have a temper at times. Like anybody I suppose.
I think it was bought by Jim Henson Pictures. When I was last there it had Kernit as the Little Tramp on the top of the entrance gate.
@@ladyagnes9430 Oh really?! Well, thanks a lot for letting me know. I appreciate it.
Does his family get royalties from his movies? I’m just wondering

Back when Holleywood produced things that were worth watching lol

@@brennocalderan2201 indeed
We’re these aerial shots taken from hot air balloons?
Drones.
would appear to be, or maybe still shots from a low flying plane as well.
Love the era and the music.
I wonder why they called the glassed-in stages "dark stages." Does anyone know?
Because they were when the lights were turned off? :)
motion pictures
are the arts grandest
achievement.
No 40 Acres yet, too early
