Tip for directors creating NY: Your characters will NEVER find parking where they have to go.

I didn't realize Langley had become so attractive for filming now

Every time something takes place in L.A, or i know is really filmed here, i always check the background and settings to see if i recognize anything or a place. I'm like an irl Californian sketch.

I do something similar when California reality shows (ie: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Real Housewives of Orange County, The Kardashians, etc) are showing scenes of them driving and the locations out the window keep skipping locations and directions so it’s obvious to me where the editing was done.

This reminds me of that 1920s map that Paramount (or some studio) had of what areas of CA & NV that they used for other locations.

Examples;
State of Nevada - Sudan Desert
North of Lake Tahoe - Siberia and the French Alps
