I am a non-commercial digital artist since 2006
and using Sketchup for drawing and Vray to render.
The project I'm working on are all the sets of the Shining.
And lately started to reconstruct the Elstree Studios around 1980 from old photos and videos.
At the same time trying to fit the already existing sets into the stages, workshops and offices.
Smaller projects include the AIC briefing room in Sicario and the barracks in Full Metal Jacket.
Working on, but not yet published, Bill and Alice's impossible bedroom in Eyes Wide Shut.
In addition, the drawings by Jörg Müller - The Changing City to be built in 3D.

Have you seen this new video on the shining sets!?? I instantly I thought of you and your hard detective work. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6R20rFrc5iyhLg.htmlsi=EUG1_D5TOei697X5
Yes, several people tipped me off. Paul King, the director of the documentary, also left a message on my website. It is a heartwarming documentary. The last photo in the video of Stanley and Shelley was moving.
@@deltabuilder ❤️
Ottimo video. Mi hanno sempre incuriosito gli interni dell' Overlook, un sacco di corridoi, porte, ascensori, montacarichi e scale, Kubrick non si e' fatto mancare niente, immagino il carico di lavoro dei costruttori di una struttura cosi' elaborata 👍🙂
Grazie Adriano. La preparazione e la costruzione di tutti i set è iniziata nel 1978. Ho letto che più di 300 persone lavoravano sui set ad un certo punto. Anche molti elettricisti, perché tutti i set con le esercitazioni dovevano essere illuminati.
This is incredible! Thank you so much!!! 😊😊❤
I am glad you like it, Dayna!
You done Save the Best Scene for Last with that camera zooming down that Creepy Corridor, to the Last exit door. 🚪 A lower floor? No wonder 🤔 this was so Very Mysterious of what WAS Behind THAT Door.😳😯🏨🪓🚪👭🩸🔪🌨️🌬️❄️
I'm glad you liked it, Victoria.
@@deltabuilderI'll Always Enjoying watching your The Shining videos!👍🏾 😉 (PS did you know about the passing of Shelly Alexis Duvall?)🥀🌷👭🏨
Yes, I heard about Shelley's passing. It was on the news. She passed away in her sleep from complications of diabetes.
I think the many Exit signs in The Shining are referencing the right-to-die/assisted suicide organisation that began in Scotland in 1980 of the same name. Although it formally began in the same year The Shining was released, it had been around for a long time prior to that. Suicide is effectively one of the themes of the movie since Jack Torrance is drinking himself to death and Grady took his own life. Many of the exit doors clearly lead nowhere and there may even be significance regarding whether the characters come in or go out under the Exit signs as it relates to the story.
Hey, did you see the Documentary 'Shine On:The Forgotten Shining Location'? -- When I watched it, I thought of you and your channel!
It's on youtube -- if you search that title. 'Stanley Kubrick' Channel
I hadn't seen this one yet. Thanks a lot for the tip! I'm going to sit down and watch it on the projector!
@@deltabuilder Great! Enjoy :)
@deltabuilder Shine On was good, but sadly no new Vivian Kubrick footage. Does her films still exist? Secondly, were he 2nd floor corridor sequences (with room 237 exterior) filmed above the Colorado Lounge, or in a separate building?
@@randallfloyd2982 Yes, still a lot of unanswered questions -- we really just got a broad overview. Was great to see and hear their personal anecdotes though.
I already talked about the two panels ripped off the door of The Shining, and in Doctor Sleep movie, there is only one. I saw a video of the film's production, and it shows the set with the two panels missing. I don't know why they changed that. But in the universe of The Shining/Doctor Sleep, does the Overlook Hotel distort things and elements of the past? For exemple, the 'redrum' broken door has changed, the entrance to room 237 is different, the 1921 Ball plays music from the 1930s, etc.
Mike Flanagan may have recorded two versions with the door, where Ewan McGregor looks through the hole in the door. He probably chose this version because it most resembles the famous shot with Jack Nicholson. I don't know if the Overlook universe twists things, but I noticed the entrance to Room 237 right away. Why Mike Flanagan had it built this way is beyond me. The spaces in the Boiler room also don't seem quite right. Mike Flanagan could easily have measured the original space in the Enigma building at Elstree Studios. The building is still there.
Could you tell me if Jack Torrance redeems himself in Doctor Sleep movie? I know he is now a bartender and offers Danny drinks. I've never seen the entire film, just a few scenes.
I have to think about that before I answer.
@@deltabuilderI actually didn't understand the bar scene in Doctor Sleep. What was Jack trying to talk about with Danny? That the hated Wendy and him?
@neusamaria5222 I watched the scene with Danny and Jack as a bartender, but Jack doesn't seem to redeem himself. He's still frustrated that he had to take care of his family. And he's trying to get Danny to drink again. Jack is still evil. Jack also denies that he's Jack, but Lloyd.
I don't remember this scene.
There are 2 versions of The Shining. Check IMDB. The 'US version' and the 'European version'. Found a video on YT that lists the differences. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXehtqSBfruagKg.html
Did Danny drag his tricyle to the upper floor? We never see anyone use the elevator.
There are 4 ways to get to the 2nd floor. The elevator, the stairs at the billiards, the grand staircase and the stairs in the Service Corridor. Danny probably took the elevator.
A alivator is very boring i a movie, that why. Google it, just gooojllllllee i🎶🎼🎵🎵
Sadly, Shelley Duvall passed away yesterday at the age of 75. May God receive her in His arms. I never met her, but I know she was a sweet, kind and lovely person. Rest in peace Shelley Duvall. The Shining's Wendy Torrance.
I have read it. She died in her sleep, I heard. She indeed seemed like a kind and lovely person to me. There aren't many actors and crew members alive. Jack, the twins and Danny are still there.
@@deltabuilderthat Is Correct.👍🏾🙂💯😥
good
So the red corridor is the previously green service corridor just painted red, and for the elevator of blood hallway they just added the elevators at the end of the hallway and closed off the sides?
That's right, wunsortedwbooks3512. The Green Service corridor has been adapted and painted red. The 'private' sign to Ullman's Office can still be seen on the left, just like in the Green Corridor. The service door has also been replaced by a glass version. I have dedicated a page on my website to the Red Corridor: www.shiningsets.nl/?page_id=358 The famous 'River of Blood' scene was not shot there. This was done on Elstree's Backlot in a 1:3 scale model.
Excellent observations! Great work reproducing the areas! I agree with your findings.
Thanks Mesapysch .
Thats actually really cool. You really put a lot of work and thought in your videos. I know the red service corrodor is practically the same as the green service corridor but where do you think the red corridor that leads to the blood elevator is located in the hotel? Ive heard a theory its near the gold ball room because of the chairs and tables stacked in the hallway.
I'm certainly not a story analyst. My experience is more about building stage sets. And how the Shining sets were built and where. Stanley Kubrick designed the sets to confuse. Jan Harlan has also said this in interviews. However, if I were to attempt to combine the sets, the Goldroom Corridor is just behind the end wall of the Green Service Corridor. See kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJmBxpOjgLzPqpc.html
FANTASTIC!!! Thank You for these Amazing videos!
Thanks Bobby. I'm glad you liked it!
In my opinion, the film would be much better with the elevator scene with balloons inside and the scene with Jack kicking the apartment door after being accused at the Colorado Lounge. Search KZread for "10 Things - The Shining: The Lost Version". It's a video talking about Stanley Kubrick's original script for The Shining. I found this script on Google.
Thanks for the link, neusamaria5222 !
Hello deltabuilder. I was thinking about theories about The Shining. I think a lot about two theories: The Wendy Theory, that the climax of the film was Wendy's hallucinations and she dragged Jack into the maze and ran away with Danny. And the other theory more disturbing than the abuse theory: Jack strangled and abused Danny on Monday chapter and that the bear symbolizes Jack. I don't believe these theories. What do you think of them?
Well, I'm more of an analyst of spaces and architecture and not into story analysis. Although I have had to analyze plays in the past in preparation for directing. I start from the story itself, in this case the film and not the book. What is not seen or said in the film may not have happened. In any case, we don't know and it is therefore speculation. But, just to drop a theory about the story... It is very well possible that Jack abused Danny, because the first clue is the story about Jack that Wendy tells the doctor, confirmed by Jack with Lloyd. The second clue is when Danny goes to the bedroom where Jack is sitting on the bed. He asks Danny to sit on his lap. This is a very tense scene, where you expect Jack might abuse Danny. The third clue, of course, is when Danny enters the Colorado Lounge with a torn sweater and abrasions on his neck just after this scene.
I think that all three of them went crazy because of traumas and/or what they did. I think they are in sanatorium and not in The Overlook Hotel. Remember the green corridor? Totally like hospital. And remember when Wendy sees Jack's "novel" conisting only of thousands same sentences? She is terrified not only because she realizes Jack is crazy but because she realizes all three of them are crazy. I think they are letting some gasses through vents to make the three of them hallucinate and examine their behavious. I mean, The Overlook hotel is spatially impossible, most rooms, many windows... Delta, could you tell us your opinion, what could be the reason for putting black and white photos of all those dead people on the walls of The Overlook Hotel? Thanks.
In answer to your question about the black and white photos, I recommend that you look at this site. The site belongs to Joe Girard and he has an interesting view on the black and white photos. eyescream237.ca/the-treachery-of-images-the-meaning-of-f21s/#origins
@@deltabuilder Thanks a lot
That is a jolt to see him in a modern photograph, when you think he is from the 19th century. You have to be careful with people who claim to be "Indians" though. A folk-singer from the sixties, Buffy St. Marie, had a long career passing as a native American, but it turns out she was Italian American and her whole story about being adopted was baloney. She looked the part, though.
@@deltabuilder Hey, when I looked up his name, I found a different TM who sounds like the real one. - Tatanka Mani died on March 4, 1829, and was succeeded by Wacouta (Wakute, Shooter), his nephew or stepson
The 'Tatankamani' you are referring to comes from the Mississippi Valley. A completely different region than the Rocky Mountains. I don't think that Chief is the man in the painting.
@@deltabuilder Yeah, what I am thinking is the man in the painting named himself after the earlier one. I wouldn't be surprised if number two is a total fake, but I have nothing to go on. Just seems funny to me.
This makes sense. Many elements in The Shining are hotel and winter related. One of the old time bands in the movie played full-time in a hotel that was closed for the winter. In this case, Banff is most know for it's hotel which years ago was closed for the winter. Also, the road in the beginning of the movie, is also closed during the winter.
Was that The Fairmont Hotel?
@@deltabuilder Correct! Fairmont Banff Springs
Why does this hotel have so many plants? 😭
That intrigues me too. So many plants, both in The Lobby and in The Colorado lounge. None seen in The Goldroom or The Caretakers apartment. Stanley rarely did anything without intention.... Maybe ask Rob Ager?
@@deltabuilder Sure. I’m not sure if a video has been made by him describing the plants, but I could ask him.
If he answers, I would like to know his answer.
I suspect the ceiling was inspired by the LA Biltmore. Kubrick was influenced by it for the gold room for sure. I am not sure the Ahwahnee could have this ceiling. I so want an excuse to stay there and see it in person.
That's definitely a very valid excuse to go to the Ahwahnee! I wish I can visit the Ahwahnee someday too. I think the ceiling was inspired by the Ahwahnee. Below is a link to a virtual tour of the Ahwahnee. If you choose 'floor plan' and then go to the 'large lounge area', you will see that the ceiling has enormous similarities with The Colorado Lounge. The difference is that the Ahwahnee has an ocher color instead of white, but the patterns have clear similarities. my.matterport.com/show/?m=CTbTVMivGuc
0:16 Look out, Danny!
Amazing beautiful set! I am still blown away by the fact it was a set! It looks huge! The stained glass is so beautiful. I want to write in that room! Jack was lucky. Halloran was right when he called Jack an asshole, lol. Beautiful artwork! It is like a church.
Thanks Jessica.
I wonder if this is why the set burned down
I have a theory about it. There is a story about the actor (Norman Gay) who, with blood on his head, encounters Wendy during her flight. This actor is only seen in 1 scene and not on the set of the Colorado Lounge, but on the set of the Lobby. During the fire he sought shelter with the crew because paramedics wanted to take him away. This means that the Colorado Lounge set was not used. So the heat from the lamps was not the cause that day. I think the cause was an ordinary electrical short circuit. I personally experienced it in a theater where an electrical connection had become too hot for weeks without anyone noticing. Everything worked without any problems.
Agreed. I used to work with 4000 watt Mole-Richardson lights. Any plastic near the front would melt immediately. I used the spun-glass diffusion material and even that would get holes burned into it. I wonder how the heat affected the wooden set framework? I imagine you would hear a lot of cracking and snaping.
I experienced the same thing when I was a lighting technician in the theater with a 2000 Watt ADB profile spotlight. After 2 weeks of performances, the color filter had a dark burned spot in the middle. So I replaced the filter every other week.
Where did Jack sleep on the days he was crazy like the night of the chapter Wednesday? It Is unlikely that he slept together with Wendy.
The other beds at the Overlook Hotel seen in the film are the bed in Danny's bedroom and the bed in Room 237. There is a production photo of Jack Nicholson and Billie Gibson (the old lady in the bath) lying on the bed of Room 237 smiling at the camera. Jack may well have spent the night there.
I've seen some photos of Wendy climbing the boiler room stairs in Lee Unkrich's Taschen book. But I saw this video and I have a question: The kitchen is close to the Gold Room and the Lobby (in my opinion it is behind the Lobby and on the ballroom side). In the final film, we see Wendy running from the green service hallway behind the Colorado Lounge out of the exit doors. Would the kitchen then be connected to those double doors? Kubrick did a great job of disorienting the film's viewers hahaha.
I tought you abandoned the channel.
Don't worry, some things have happened that need attention. I'll make another video in a few weeks. Thanks for your concern.
Although all sets were built separately at Elstree Studios, I have made an attempt on my site to put all the sets together and link them. There are many possibilities. Many Shining fans have made efforts to complete the Outlook Hotel. I had an option where the kitchen is behind the Lobby and the Colorado Lounge is above the Lobby. Then between the Lobby and the kitchen the stairwell of the Caretaker's apartment. In this version the double door would be one floor too high. As you said, Kubrick did a great job of disorienting the film's viewers. The puzzle is actually very difficult to put together.
I myself had already tried to draw up the plan for The Overlook. I was trying to connect the twins' hallway with the Lobby via Danny's tricycle route and... the layout didn't work haha.
No new video in a couple months. How are things going?
Some things happened. Thanks for informing. There will be a new video in a few weeks.
That’s a lot of Kool Aid

Midnight with the Stars and You - Ray Noble link is in the description.
Hello. I was wondering today if the Caretaker's apartment had a full kitchen (it should have) and why Wendy had to bring breakfast from the professional kitchen. Have you done a video on the inside of the apartment?
Hi Herman, no kitchen in the apartment. The apartment consists of Danny's bedroom, the hall, the living room, Jack and Wendy's bedroom and the bathroom. there is nothing more. What is strange, and has been noted by many analysts, is that there are windows on two sides of the apartment; the long side, which borders all rooms and the famous bathroom window. Only the bathroom window can be seen from the outside and the other windows should be on the inside of the hotel. I haven't made a video of the apartment yet. It's a good idea to follow Wendy's route when she delivers breakfast. EDIT: When you enter the living room, to the left of the refrigerator is a table with an electric twin hob and some coffee and tea items.
@@deltabuilder Thanks for your answer. Of all the weird things people notice in the hotel, I think that is the weirdest. Their apartment should either be adjacent to the big kitchen, or have a little kitchen.
Very Trippy and Got a Vice City Vibe for some reason...Very Cool...
Thanks user.
Not accurate but cool anyway. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoFp2MaJXbGooJM.html
That was fun to watch. Thanks for the tip.
So i'm confused on one thing. are the pillars in the lobby supposed to be deep red or like salmon color? I remember the first shot when Jack walks in, the pillars look salmon
There are many color differences throughout the film. Jack's jacket also changes color during the interview. The tennis ball and the gray service hall are also examples. I suspect that the use of different cameras, lenses and film stock is the cause of this. What surprises me is that when transferring film to DVD, Bluray and 4K versions, no attempt was made to correct the color differences. But perhaps they thought it was too much of an infringement on Stanley Kubrick's vision. I also think it's a shame that they didn't perform a stabilization correction on the tripod shots during the interview scene. It is clear that sometimes the image floats due to sprocket instability. This can easily be corrected digitally
🏆Any idea what that bright yellow and orange picture on the right hand wall is supposed to be? That always catches my eye when Ullman is talking.
I have never been able to find this image on the internet. Used all known image search engines, but no results. But it is clearly a design from the seventies. I made my own design based on the film frames.
@@deltabuilder OK, thanks, anyway. It does look seventies. Orange was so popular.
@@deltabuilder Just thought, it has elements of a sun, a phallic symbol, and an abstract rocket/spaceship flying through space.
Hi deltabuilder. I was rewacthing a scene from The Shining, the scene where Jack argues in the room with Wendy about getting Danny out of the hotel. He says she f*cked up his life. Would this show Jack's hatred for Wendy or was he already possessed?
It's the odd color scheme that is so creepy and off-putting - the purple and green, and then that yellowish blue/green sort of sick turquoise in the bathroom..
Bouncing a tennis ball off the mural was rude!
It was definitely rude! Especially the aggression with which Jack throws the ball against the mural is one of the many clues to show Jack's true character.
They had shot an ending where Ullman visits Danny at the hospital and gives him the tennis ball! Crazy.
The ceiling is so cool! So much detail!
Thanks! There aren't that many frames in the Shining to recreate the patterns. The most obvious scene is when Wendy goes through the typed sheets. The camera is pointed towards the ceiling. After the release of Lee Unkrich's compendium, it turned out that I still had to adjust a few patterns.
Wendy in the boiler room (from 1:07 onwards), and then going upstairs to 'the kitchen’, was shot in a completely separate building, away from Stage 3 (Colorado Lounge), namely in the Art/Drapes department (now called the Enigma Building). The ‘kitchen’ is what later became Vivian’s cutting room in 1980, next door to the room that Stanley used for completing the cutting of The Shining in the spring of 1980 - so that we called the building at the time ‘Stanley’s cutting-room block’.
Thanks for the explanation, Gordon! Jun'ichi Yaoi's documentary was also a great help.
Hi deltabuilder. Was Jack Torrance a good man or was already mean to his family before the Overlook Hotel?
That's difficult to say. I have had to analyze stage plays in the past to better understand the background of the characters. In Jack's case, the most is revealed during Wendy's conversation with the doctor. It turns out that alcohol and Danny's abuse gives an idea of what Jack is like.
Thank you so much! This helped me so much in my quest and the Sims at the Overlook are having a blast: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5uaj82hY7e1k6g.html

Question - when people say the Gold Room could not fit inside the hotel we see in early part of the film, do you agree? The only thing I wonder about is why there are no windows?
Answer - The Goldroom set measures 43.78 x 24.68 meters and is 9.20 meters high (without the Red Bathroom). The Timberline Lodge is approximately 126 meters long, but is a narrow building with several kinks. The building is nowhere wider than 12 meters, so the Goldroom set would not fit anywhere. The window problem is simple; Not only the Goldroom set was built on Stage 5, but also the Boulder set. Given the dimensions of Stage 5, there will have been no room left for lighting to illuminate windows from the outside, such as with the Lobby set or the Colorado Lounge set.
@@deltabuilder Okay, thank you. Forty foot wide building vs. over eighty foot wide ballroom - hahaha, I was so wrong.
I love that psychedelic poster in the little room in the movie. It looks like one would have to walk through that little room to get to Ullman's office? I thought the radio was in Ullman's office!
Yes, it is a special poster. Never found that poster on the internet. It would be a poster of the basketball player Julius Erving. If you go through this door you will arrive at the office of accountant Henry Callahan. You can see this office when Danny rides through the Green Service Hall on his trike.
I put a little bathroom for the receptionist back there on mine. Sims are devastated when they wet themselves.
Its really coming along. I may post some stills from the "set" soon. You have really inspired me. This is getting to be an obsession. I want to do a separate video about all the hotels Stanley picked and why. I am so obsessed. At first this was just a little fun project. But now I see this is a science! Sooooooooooooo much to study! What a can of worms I opened. I am now trying to get simulated art that matches the real art as close as possible, lol. The story is finished pretty much. So far it looks like it will be about a half hour long at least!
Hi deltabuilder. Today I saw photos of a deleted scene from The Shining. The deleted scene from the film is based of the Stephen King's book. Wendy sees balloons in the lobby elevator and she calls Jack. Jack checks the elevator but tells her it's normal and tells her she's imagining things.
Wow, never seen those photos before. Can you sent me the link?
@@deltabuilder I don't know how to send links, but I send the website. Search in Google: The Shining Lost Deleted Scenes and go to the first website that comes up. The Lost Media Wiki
Thank you very much Neusa Maria! I had never seen these photos. They also seem to me to have been put on the internet very recently. Thanks for the tip! Maybe I can customize the sets with new points of view and details.
