My son is home from college who came home last night for the night and was supposed to fly out this morning to Miami to visit friends but he is home sick in bed with strep, so my weekend plans have been somewhat curtailed, but I am happy to play nursemaid aka mom to help him get on the mend and have to admit I am secretly looking forward to a more relaxed weekend than what we had originally planned.<\/p>\n

So by now you know that the hit show Gotham <\/a>has filmed in my home. It was so exciting and definitely incredibly chaotic, but the most fun kind imaginable (to me not so much my husband)! With a crew of over 100 people, more cameras and equipment than I have ever seen in one place from start to finish this was a big production.<\/p>\n

Because of my utter fascination with how all works and came to be, I took so many pictures that to post all of them would take up 3 separate posts. They have come on two occasions to film and each of those times involved prep days, take down days and long nights. While I enjoyed it very much my husband begged to differ :)? My kids had A LOT to do with him agreeing the second time around:)<\/p>\n

But no one can deny it was very exciting. So first a look at behind the scenes and then a few snapshots from the actual airing, I have also included the link on bottom to watch the episode for those of you who have asked…..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First I thought a few cameras I can handle that…..<\/p>\n

\"unname33d\"<\/a> \"unnam333ed\"<\/a> \"unnam3333d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But then before long it exploded into this…….people, cameras and equipment seemed to be coming out of the woodwork!<\/p>\n

\"unnameasdfd\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"unnaa3amed\"<\/a> \"unn997amed\"<\/a> \"uds<\/a> \"unc3named\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here they are preparing for the first scene……\"\"<\/a> \"uadf3nnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And in the meantime, enormous 20 foot cameras were perched in the back….<\/p>\n

\"unn867556amed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All day long, a revolving door of vans carrying the crew to and from came and went non stop……\"unnam324xced\"<\/a> \"uneavnamed\"<\/a> \"unnad211amed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scene 1 it was exciting to watch!\"u211cxnnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Especially from the comfort of my sons front bedroom window:)\"12111unnamed\"<\/a> \"32vxunnamed\"<\/a> \"ubvv3aannamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The night scenes were fascinating to watch…..<\/p>\n

\"unnam32cced\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And they worked into the very late night hours on this scene<\/p>\n

\"unn111amed\"<\/a> \"un1111named\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here they are setting up the chicken coop, by far the prettiest one I have ever seen!\"ubvv3nnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Making rain! \"uadfa3nnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the food tents,, it was a popular place all day long….\"unnameadf3d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A scene about to start,? yes that is a man with a gun (fake) in my backyard:) Loved watching them make the fog….\"unasdffnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They put up all kinds of things for just the right lighting all over the house….\"unnam343aaed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My library became a staging area…..\"unnama3fed\"<\/a> \"unadsffnamed\"<\/a> \"unnabvcmed\"<\/a> \"unnvc3amed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile the scenes in the front are in full swing…\"unncvcvvamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The infamous directors and actors chairs!\"unnacvvmed\"<\/a> \"unnamcx3ed\"<\/a> \"unnxxcvamed\"<\/a> \"unnvvcamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will say Warner Brothers was extremely professional and considering there was a brigade of over 100 just about everywhere, they did a great job of protecting areas not being used….\"adsfunnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the most recent scenes (which I cannot show since they have not aired) they were setting up in the living room. Pretty gold balls from the girls over at The Buzz…..\"33<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doesn’t the living room look different? They needed to change things up to allow for extra space for the cameras and people to move….\"unnaasdfaamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ditto with the family room…\"unnamadf3ed\"<\/a> \"unnaadf3med\"<\/a> \"adf3unnamed\"<\/a> \"unnaav<\/a> \"uds<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was the chicken coop getting the finishing touches….they built it in about 6 hours!? I actually wanted to keep it and they were willing to give it to us but it was done as a prop and not a construction dwelling to code so it would have had to be taken down and reinforced to code, in the end it wasn’t worth it because we would have had to get a builder and construction drawings? involved but it sure was adorable!\"un432cnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"443\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take down day is the day where they come in and take everything down\/away and a cleaning service comes in to “give me my house back”….<\/p>\n

\"unn55amed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They use these pictures to place everything back where it belongs (pictures taken pre shooting days)…..\"unname555d\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that you have gotten to see a bit of what happened behind the scenes, here are snapshots from the actual episode….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"un111named\"<\/a> \"u211nnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"unna2111med\"<\/a> \"unna1211med\"<\/a> \"u121nnamed\"<\/a> \"uncxxnamed\"<\/a> \"unnacxxmed\"<\/a> \"unnameccxd\"<\/a> \"unnamcccced\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"hhhunnamed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice here a wall between the cabinets where there is normally an opening to the family room? They had it built and painted to match the cabinets exactly……<\/p>\n

\"unnamhhhed\"<\/a> \"unhhhnamed\"<\/a> \"unnamehhhhd\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now for anyone who wants to watch the episode, our home is featured in the last 20 minutes of the episode. Here is a link to watch the full 7th episode-<\/p>\n
