# Hollywood Boulevard reference board

Licensed photographs of the real El Capitan Entertainment Centre block at 6840 Hollywood
Boulevard, used as evidence for the venue's proportions, signage and staging. They are
development reference only and are **not** shipped with the game.

Provenance, licences and the decisions these photos informed are in
[`SIDECAR.md`](SIDECAR.md). The rules for this folder are in
[`../README.md`](../README.md); generated art-direction frames live in
[`../../concepts/hollywood_boulevard/`](../../concepts/hollywood_boulevard/README.md).

| Photo | What it is evidence for |
| --- | --- |
| ![El Capitan facade, day, with three vertical banners](el-capitan-facade-day-wikimedia-2009-10-27.jpg) | **Facade, day.** Six Ionic columns, the Masonic parapet motto, banner count and size, stone joints, window rhythm and the marquee overhang. |
| ![El Capitan theatre blade sign and the Masonic temple frontage from the street](el-capitan-theatre-blade-sign-day-wikimedia-2008-10.jpg) | **Block relationship.** The theatre's vertical blade sign next to the temple frontage, the setback, kerb line and street width. |
| ![The Masonic Temple in 1922, before the theatre complex](masonic-temple-historic-pd-1922.jpg) | **Original elevation.** The 1922 facade with the motto band, cornice and column order, before later signage and tenants. |
| ![Ovation Hollywood across the boulevard](ovation-hollywood-across-street-pd-2006-12-28.jpg) | **Across the street.** The Ovation Hollywood frontage, its height relative to the temple, and the plaza opening on Highland. |
| ![Red carpet premiere staging with barriers along the sidewalk](premiere-staging-street-day-wikimedia-2006-02-12.jpg) | **Premiere staging.** Red carpet run, crowd barriers, tent line and the way the sidewalk narrows for an event. |

## Gaps to fill

- A night photograph of the facade and blade sign (lighting reference; the current night
  evidence is the generated concept frame).
- A close-up of the Walk of Fame terrazzo and of a star medallion for material scale.
- A sidewalk-level shot of the steps and door recess for the entrance approach.
- A licensed photo of the east retail neighbours (Jimmy Kimmel / El Capitan Theatre block
  neighbours) for the facade rhythm beyond the hero building.
