War? What war?
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure this was a setup shot. This is not natural lighting, but the lighting that was done, was excellent! Interior shots of small crowded places is extremely difficult - doubly so with the equipment and materials available at the time of the photo. My hat is off to the photographer!
ReplyDeleteFunny how the room looked bigger in the movies. lol And was shaped different too. ; )
ReplyDeleteMargaret Siemers, It would have been a nightmare to film within the confines of this place. Zero Room! Could not do it. Have to 'open it up', to light and have cameras move around. :-)
ReplyDeleteOshi Shikigami Oh yes, I do know that. I was being my naughty little self. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Is cool. It's funny that most people don't consider any of the "realities" of filming, and wonder why 'sets' of historic places are so BIG. :-)
