Up in the rafters among the lighting in a soundstage at Universal Studios, 1963

Up in the rafters among the lighting in a soundstage at Universal Studios, 1963You know how in the movies, someone yells “Lights! Camera! Action!” (Well, they do that in the movies about making movies, anyway.) Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be up on the catwalks in the rafters of a soundstage during production? I knew it took a lot of lights to shoot a movie, but this is crazy. Now I understand why it took so long to light a scene. This photo was taken at Universal Studios when Life magazine sent photographer John Dominis to tour the studios in 1963.
