I just got to thinking today about all of the different sets and scenes they created on The Waltons. Not only were the actors very good, some better than they got credit for as far as I'm concerned especially the child actors at the time.
Considering the show was mostly if not all filmed at Warner Brothers in California, there had to have been a lot of hard work building the sets and creating the scenes and making them look so real. I think that is part of what made The Waltons so good.
Some shows in the 70's only used two or three different sets and that made the show dull to me. I think the carpenters and other manual labor people deserve some credit too for making the show so good but they don't seem to be mentioned.

I agree. It would be great to hear from some of the people who worked behind the scenes. The sets were so well done that you actually believed they were filming inside a real house. The musical scores you hear in the background were excellent. I notice the lighting looks natural with shadows and such. Not just a big spotlight overhead to illuminate everything.
It would have been nice if they had made a small documentary about making an episode of The Waltons. I am willing to bet that there is a lot of information there that would make people appreciate the show even more.

I had a chance to visit the set of our upcoming movie and it would appear that a lot of vision and patience must go into the process. It is funny to watch some of the producers and directors as each has their own view on what would work best. In the end, everyone comes to terms and meets in the middle. The carpenters ...well, they are the miracle workers! Dianne |
