Old Tucson Studios

 

I decided to do my documentary on Old Tucson Studios, which is west of Tucson, Arizona and close to the west part of Saguaro National Park. I was able to capture pictures of the atmosphere and the mood that the area gave to the person viewing the area or the person viewing my pictures. The pictures showed a western scene that is seen in movies but I got to see it in real life and capture pictures of the area. Old Tucson Studios is a movie studio and also a theme park. It was built in 1939 for the movie Arizona, so that they could film the movie in a western atmosphere. Old Tucson Studios has been used for many other movie and western television shows. They have tours there that inform people about the movies filmed there and also have live cast entertainment featuring stunt shows and shootouts. People can get a vibe how movies and television shows are produced. I enjoyed documenting Old Tucson Studios and seeing how movies are produced and taking pictures of the area.
