LDS Motion Picture Studio Tour

The McGriff family invited us to go with them on a tour to the LDS Motion Picture Studio in Provo. It is located by BYU and you have to wind back behind some retail building in a woody area with the Provo River running by it. We didn't even know it was there in the 15 years we have lived in Provo. Only Erika and Sharri went from our family. Brian, Cameron and Riley didn't want to go, because they thought it would be boring. So, we were greeted by Pete (our tour guide). We walked to a woody, forest like area where they have built little houses in a village. The houses are only half done and the inside is not finished at all so they can use different scenes and backgrounds inside when they are filming. The last film that they filmed there was Joseph Smith movie. We walked to the 2 sound stages and then to the costume room and the big room with all the props. We even were able to see the Book of Mormon prop. We then went over to the building where they do all the sounds, mixes with sounds, editing and music to add the the film. We were at the tour for about an hour and a half. It was so interesting and we were glad that we went. We highly recommend that if you can get a tour time, to go and see it. It is amazing and pretty cool to see and watch.
