And the next episode will have some strange editing, with Zorro going two floors down to get to the sala from the library.<br /><br />There was a website with some of the blueprints actually used to build the hacienda set, but it's hard to link it from a cell phone. I'm not very good at reading them, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-1877732827451546752016-07-12T18:07:09.020-05:002016-07-12T18:07:09.020-05:00Anonymous: I can't speak to any actual technic...Anonymous: I can't speak to any actual technical thing they did, but I was trying to figure out the stairs aspect, and this is what I came up with: <br /><br />The sala and the library are at roughly the same elevation, right? From the sala you have to climb a few steps to the library door, but then you walk down ~5 steps to the main part of the library, so they're basically the same. The secret passage is on the back side of the rooms, and there's another door in the sala that leads back that way (the one Bernardo fled through when Basilio came calling in 2x30), presumably to the kitchen. The passage can't very well go right through that hallway, so it has to maneuver around it somehow, and so it goes under it. So to get from the sala to the library, the passage goes down, then up, giving the appearance the room is on some mysterious level between the sala and Diego's room, when it really isn't.<br /><br />I can't do any better than that, I'm afraid.CalvinPitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815632086057048846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-46869700861194411442016-07-11T13:53:12.469-05:002016-07-11T13:53:12.469-05:00then you wasted your time and money because the ne...then you wasted your time and money because the new-improved Marvel Universe is total shitDoc Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255204147754923490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-47557661712768628922016-07-11T10:25:47.635-05:002016-07-11T10:25:47.635-05:00"There's a staircase going upstairs, pres..."There's a staircase going upstairs, presumably to Diego's room, but Alejandro comes up the staircase, from some lower level. Where was he?": if this were season 1, I'd say he came from the cave (see 1x02, where we get a tour from Diego's bedroom down to the cave, and 1x35/1x37, which have a good view of the inside of the sala entrance). However, this is season 2, so Alejandro definitely came from the sala (see 2x33, where we see Bernardo going from Diego's room down to the sala).<br /><br />Still, i just can't figure out how the filmakers did it. Every time we see the trick closet in the sala (in both season 1 and season 2), it's obvious that it's the same closet when seen from the sala and when seen from inside the passage, so it's not like they used two different sets. However, what was "inside of the sala entrance" in season 1 now is just some middle floor between Diego's bedroom and the new "inside of the sala entrance". Like I said in a previous comment (where I misspelled his name), I feel the producers pulled a Penrose stairs paradox, except that we are talking about a real place (the set used for filming) instead of mere drawings where you can easily fool the observer.<br /><br />Any ideas of how they did it? It still boggles my mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
