Lost 2014 Tour: Kualoa Ranch

صورة
For sheer visual splendour the valley within Kualoa Ranch is hard to beat.  The area has attracted many film and television productions including Jurassic Park, Godzilla, and LOST.  In fact, the day of our tour there was a crew shooting in the valley, allegedly for a Shakira music video.  Jurassic Park 4 had also been filming recently.  In terms of LOST there are multiple locations scattered over the property: the Tempest station , Richard Alpert's pre-Island home , the area where Ana-Lucia killed Goodwin , Jughead's tower , the hill down which Hurley drove a Dharma van , the suspension bridge Hurley and Charlie crossed to reach Rousseau , the spot where the Man in Black smashed Jacob's wine bottle , and Hurley's golf course to name a few.

Lost 2014 Tour: The Ghost and Mr. Miles

صورة
A residence on Hinano Street served as our second LOST location stop of the day.  The exterior of this house appears in the season 4 episode "Confirmed Dead" at the beginning of a sequence in which Miles Straume visits a grieving woman in Inglewood, California who recently lost her grandson. Miles parks in front of his client's home.  From "Confirmed Dead" Hinano street residence, 2014 Note that the lattice is no longer present in 2014.  I'm not sure if it was added by the LOST production crew or if it was there but the homeowner removed it at some point after the shoot. Note lattice hiding the entranceway. ("Confirmed Dead") Looking out, probably taken at the same residence. ("Confirmed Dead")

The final figure from series 2 is one of my favourite LOST characters, Mr. Eko. The base is again simple, though adorned with a few plants. Despite the fact that he isn't elevated like Jack and Sawyer, Eko still cuts an imposing and intimidating figure. More fantastic work on the body and clothing, this time complemented with equally good work on the face. No wonder Jin was so frightened; I would not want to get on this guy's bad side! Detail showing Mr. Eko's two beard braids which he maintained during his 40 days of silence.
