S.H.R.E.K Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It looked very basic but the camera angle might make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All booked up for Will Wheaton tomorrow on BBT couch so fingers crossed the camera makes it look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshcurly3 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) We thought the same but went for it. The pic comes out a lot better than it looks. The angle does make it.

Sebster118 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Looked smaller than it does on TV but didn't pass the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lushchicken Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I've seen the real deal on the WB backlot and have to say the one at LFCC was a bit pants. We decided to pass on that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitewillow Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I did the photo shoot and it turned out quite well. In the photo it looks like you are really inside the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammyromie Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Yeah at first I was unimpressed but I did budget for it, so I went ahead with it and it turned out pretty ok :) Edited August 1, 2017 by sammyromie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot182 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I don't watch the show so I have no idea what it is meant to look like but I paid for my older sister, niece (17), nephew (9) and 2 of their young friends to be a part of the photo and they absolutely loved it, they had to pose 5 different ways and loved messing around trying to find the best poses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Mcfly Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The set was pretty bad with not much effort put into it, looks like just a normal living room and nothing like the Big Bang set. Not even the same sofa! Can see why they didn't put a photo up of it before hand now as I would have never bought a Wil Weston ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 7th of July on announcement they put up a photo of the actual set and it is very similar with a lot of identical props been used. When I look at the photo of myself with Wil Wheaton and compare it to the actual set I would say they have done a good job. On the pictures they have a whiteboard with scientific formulas and I don't think most people have anything similar in their living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I agree that in person the set itself was a bit underwhelming. I even thought it looked pretty inaccurate, the only indications of what it was meant to be being the takeaway cartons and comic books and flags scattered around. But the photo itself is angled in a way that really brings the set together and made it look like the actual TBBT living room. I showed my mother my photo without telling her what it was and she immediately knew it was TBBT just by looking at it. For £10 it was a bit of a risk, but I feel it was a gamble well taken since the picture looked like the real thing in the end! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jael001 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I was pleased with my picture, even though in the flesh the set didn't look like much. I got home and compared it to photos of the actual living room set and I think it was mostly a pretty good match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobbin11 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I really like my set photo with Wil Wheaton. I think it's pretty accurate tbh and defo looks better in the photo than in the flesh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.H.R.E.K Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Very happy with the end result, the camera angle really made for a nice photo- no complaints here with the final reasult. Thanks SM a very nice touch ( now let's work on getting the rest of the gang over soon ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day everyone has their own opinions. I've been to see the show filmed at WB studios and believe me that set is nothing like this one. If people are happy with their photos then that's all that matters. Although I don't think just adding a whiteboard to the set makes it screen accurate!

Stephen1985 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 In all fairness it looked a lot better in the photo, but you're right it wasn't great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianb Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) I would have thought that as it was a set of a lived in flat that the producers would add pieces and change things around as you would expect in a real property. Last year at Destination Star Trek I spoke to Wil Wheaton and showed him my 1975 Mego Enterprise flight deck and I told him that I got the idea from watching the episode where Penny bought Sheldon and Leonard the mint in box transporter unit. A month or so later the same flight deck was featured in the show. In was not in the previous episode or the one after but it still appeared. I would have thought that if you looked at a picture of the first episode and the last episode that it would not be identical. If you want the set to be identical to the flat in the show then which episode would that be. Things change over time and any decent tv show would take that into consideration. For example on the actual set there is a sword hanging on the wall and the sword was bought at the comic book store in the episode where Wil invited Sheldon and Leonard to the party at his house. On my picture with Wil there is a Scottish flag on the coffee table which relates to Sheldon and Amy doing Fun with Flags. Does anyone else own a Scottish flag?
