I've opened another thread but thought, that it may interest some of you in the Pahonu section.
As some of you know, we have been to Hawaii again on 30th September.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time to drive to Pahonu to have a swim in the tidal pool, but it was time enough to revisit Agatha's place.
Since Ecoes of the Mind, I am in love with the house and it's certainly located in a beautiful neighborhood.

Please enjoy the pics:
Where is exactly is this? Do you have an address? I guess I didn't get to the episodes yet featuring Agatha's house.
Anybody have an idea of how it came to pass that this house was able to be used as Agatha's in the show?
We sort of know the "filmography" or history of the Anderson and Marks estates, but I've wondered what type of arrangements were made to use other dwellings on the island during filming, like this house and the one in "Almost Home", Sal and Leena's place in "Never Again", etc..

Thanks Bondtoys for the great pics!
This would all be up to the location scouts on the show. The script would call for a scene at a certain type of location. The producers or show creators, maybe even the art director, would specify anything particular they were looking for and the scouts would start looking. Sometimes it's as simple as a knock at the door of an unsuspecting homeowner, as happened to a friend of mine, except it was at the companionway of his sailboat. He was approached about using it in a commercial of some kind, but sadly, had to turn down the money because he was already committed to a cruise called the BahaHaHa during their filming window. He also told me a friend of his at the Shoreline Yacht Club here in Long Beach had his boat used in CSI Miami several years ago. They filmed most of the exteriors here, not in Miami. The town houses at the marina we live in were seen in the background of a few episodes as well. My wife's stepmother, who used to live in a cool old house on the Jersey Shore in Spring Lake was paid several thousand dollars for the use of her home in filming, but I don't know many details. I do know she was literally left a letter in her front screen and eventually put together a deal for some kind of filming there. It's all kind of a crapshoot as to what, where, and when they're looking for something.

I'm reminded of a Maxwell House coffee ad from 10-20 years ago. The film crew was driving down the road in the outskirts of Clarksville TN, and they passed my Great Aunt/Great Uncle's house. They liked the look of my uncle's barn better than the one they were heading to, so they knocked on the door and asked if they could film my aunt giving my uncle a cup of coffee. It's about 1 second in the 30-second ad, but it's neat.

eagle: So your uncle got paid for keeping his barn "up to snuff"!
That's what I'd call truly being "in the right place at the right time."
No problem!
I worked for a few years in television production, and learned a lot about the business... including it's a bit too random for me. I was in the right place at the right time to get my first position, but I quickly realized it's a very fickle industry and you have to want it pretty badly to put up with the hours and demands. I don't regret leaving it for a minute, and I have friends that are still in the industry. That's what it's called here in SoCal by the way, "The Industry", and people will know what you mean. LOL! It hasn't changed much in these respects.
Still angry!
