# 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 |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
|  | **Facade, day.** Six Ionic columns, the Masonic parapet motto, banner count and size, stone joints, window rhythm and the marquee overhang. |
|
|
|  | **Block relationship.** The theatre's vertical blade sign next to the temple frontage, the setback, kerb line and street width. |
|
|
|  | **Original elevation.** The 1922 facade with the motto band, cornice and column order, before later signage and tenants. |
|
|
|  | **Across the street.** The Ovation Hollywood frontage, its height relative to the temple, and the plaza opening on Highland. |
|
|
|  | **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.
