airtommy Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Looks like Santa Glide has some Christmas-in-July gifts for us. I just watched the scene again. I don't recognize anything, but maybe these columns are important: Edited July 15, 2018 by airtommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Yeah, it was tough. Break through came when I focused on the lighting and realized there was one line of unique high end looking distinctive lights. Then lots of theater lights. Too many to believe were set up for the scene. Had to be some type of stage or theater. I thought it may be the same location as the rally in Victims of Circumstance but ruled that out quickly. Noticed that there were two pillars, very unique designs, barely noticeable off to the sides. And the stairway with the open lit door was both up and down so we were not on a ground floor. I started looking at theaters in the area and the second one I thought of I hit pay dirt. Looking at mages for theater lights I hit on the lights that were unmistakable. Then the pillars were the actual sides of the stage. Then other details were checked and matched up. Definitely the Olympia Theater on Flagler, DT Miami. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Glide Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I am going to try to get in there on my up coming trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Yes, I increased exposure and brightness, but it's still had to see anything in the background. What's next for you after Freefall? Closing credits? Edited June 27, 2017 by airtommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Well I will soon be in Naples which will allow me to hit Miami on a regular basis. I plan on working my way through the series again, looking for unknown locations, taking more pictures on location, updating the look of the site a little, maybe adding some behind the scene pictures. Now that I have gone through it I will be able to add some trivia type notes updating each page with any missing info on other places a location was used and maybe stuff like the shortest and longest teasers etc. Things I took notes on but did not include. I do feel good about having stuck with it and completed the whole series. I also only have one more season of Burn Notice to do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I am also open to suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 It was about ten years ago that I went to a lot of the locations in this episode to take re-creation shots. As I go through them now it is hard to believe it was 10 years ago. Also have numerous pictures with DanJ in them. Miss him around here as he always had solid, informative and enjoyable post on here.

airtommy Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) I walked around Vizcaya with screenshots from the various MV scenes filmed there. I found all of them except this one from Freefall & Heart of Night: It looks a heck of a lot like Vizcaya, but many major details are different. Was Vizcaya remodeled or this some other building?

miamijimf Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Agree, impressive Charlie. Glad to see the Olympia Theater was used I often wondered why they didn't take advantage of this magnificent building. Been there, it should have been used often. I know it didn't fit into Mann's image of an Art Deco/Miami Modern Miami but by season 3 and 4 his influence had waned.

You guys do incredible work...I am often amazed by the thought process in sleuthing and the details identified to find some of these locations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Amazing find!!! In my notes I didn't even list this as a location to be searched for. I assumed it was impossible. And yet, CGlide made very short work of it! If you go to Google Maps and drag the Street View icon to the photo by Corina Ramirez, you get this view: Edited July 15, 2018 by airtommy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Now I have to get in there with a lap top and play the scene while standing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) In case you haven't seen these old pics of the Olympia stage I think they will help pin down the exact location of the actors in this scene. It looks the orchestra pit could be covered with a floor for some events. Edited June 29, 2017 by miamijimf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Was off at the beach the last few days so I have not checked in. Yes I remember seeing pics with it open and closed. I hope the pit is covered if I get in so I can get the best re-creation pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Glide Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Going to be in south Florida this coming week. Planning on going to Deering Estate on Tuesday and Olympia theater for the evening show to get in and photograph. Anyone in the area want to meet up let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) I took these in Costa Morada ! Borbons Palace - (1) in the teaser Borbon walks down these stairs in the main house with his general. (2) this is a recreated shot as they all escape from the screening room before entering the grounds Edited July 15, 2017 by Matt5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks Matt! How did you get into Costa Morada? Also needed some help from local Tourist Office aka bribery at customs like Crockett&Tubbs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Besides the Vice connection with the Deering Estate I like the ancient sub-tropical forest on the property. It includes a pre-Columbian Native American mound that had never been explored, at least by the last time I was there.
