When you’re in LA, there isn’t really a much cooler thing to do than take a VIP tour around the famous Warner Brother’s studios. When we visited, that’s exactly how we chose to spend part of our time there, and we’re very glad we did.
We started our experience in the VIP Tour Centre, after perusing for a little while, it was time to start the tour. We boarded our private golf buggy, and we were off.
There’s plenty to see. From jungle scenes, forested lagoons, café sets, street sets; everything is immediately recognisable from one film or TV series from past to present. We particularly enjoyed visiting the set of friends, which was both amusing and eye opening.
“That’s what it’s all about - understanding the magic behind the screen.”
We also walked through the prop department, where we were able to observe a wealth of props, costumes and scripts, which was really very fascinating. We also had fun with the famous green screen, where we were amused to be placed on the backdrop of some of our favourite films.
It’s difficult to remember at times that this is actually a place of work, as it seems so magical, but you are reminded when the occasional celebrity or actor passes you and you remember there’s real filming going on around you.
It’s difficult not to feel like a tourist on a trip like this, however, the fun of the VIP tour is that you almost feel as though you are a part of everything. As though you have discovered the secret; and that’s what it’s all about - understanding the magic behind the screen. This trip is a must for adults and children alike, and is highly comes highly recommended by us for any film lover out there.
