 This is looking north on Hyde Street at Lombard Street, San Francisco. It was filmed on 12 January 2001 since we were mostly rained out here a few days earlier on January 9th. |
 Broadway, west of Franklin Street, San Francisco. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 The Golden Gate Bridge. |
 This is possibly Sacramento near Broderick Street. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 South on Steiner Street at Grove Street. Those are the "painted ladies" on the left. |
 Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 We got this opening title shot of San Francisco totally by accident. Early one morning, while setting up at basecamp at Building 924 in the Presidio, the sunrise was so gorgeous that D.P. Daryn Okada quickly pulled out the camera to grab it. |
 This scene was filmed at 20th Century Fox in Southern California. This was an exciting day of filming for the crew and one of the funniest scenes of the movie. Steve Irwin rocks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 North on Lombard Street, looking down on what is known as the "Crookedest Street in the World" although it's not even the most crooked street in San Francisco. Vermont Street is. |
 The painted ladies again, viewed this time from within Alamo Square Park. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  The view of the car on the Golden Gate Bridge was shot by helicopter, while Eddie Murphy and the animals in the car were actually filmed in Los Angeles. Footage shot from a moving vehicle on the real bridge was inserted out the windows. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Fairfax-Bolinas Road, above the town of Bolinas. |
 Limantour Road, Point Reyes National Seashore. The next shot, though, of Dolittle and the animals getting out of the car, was filmed at 20th Century Fox. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
   This is one of the most geographically interesting edits in the movie. The first picture, in which Dr. Dolittle (portrayed by photo-double Robert DoQui) hits the brakes and backs up the car, was filmed on the very last day of shooting, 16 January 2001, on Limantour Road in Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County. The middle picture shows the cut to Eddie Murphy as Dr. Dolittle on a soundstage at 20th Century Fox on West Pico Boulevard, Century City, Los Angeles. The scene then cuts to the last picture which was filmed on the very first day of filming, around September or October 2000, when a small crew and the photo-double went to this forest clearcut on private property near Wrangell, Wrangell-Petersburg Census Area, Alaska. This very quick scene was filmed at three entirely different locations: Northern California, Southern California, and Alaska. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Samuel P. Taylor State Park, Marin County. |
 We did plate-shots of hills of trees above the Bear Valley Vistors' Center parking lot in PRNS, and at Lagunitas Middle School in San Geronimo. This might be part of one of them, out the window, but I don't know for sure. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Dr. Dolittle is heading north on Conzelman Road in the Marin Headlands. Yes, we all knew that this road wouldn't get him very far in real life, but it is a pretty view, isn't it? |
 The foreground was shot on a stage at 20th Century Fox, but that hill in the background was done as a plate-shot on Lucas Valley Road, about 6¼ miles west of Highway 101, between Marinwood and Nicasio, Marin County. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Though heavily altered with digital effects, the water below was once part of a plate shot done of Alpine Lake where Faifax-Bolinas Road passes over it in Marin County. |
 The hills in the far distance appear to be a plate-shot, but I don't know if they're from one of the ones we did in Marin County. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  We were the first movie to film at the new West Crissy Field picnic area in the San Francisco Presidio. The guy throwing the frisbee was one of the Set Production Assistants, E.J. Wessel, and the dalmation is actually Freckles who starred as Pongo in both 101 Dalmations and 102 Dalmations. Even dogs make cameos! Several of the crew took pictures with this canine celebrity. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 For the background here, another plate-shot was done on Pierce Point Road near Marshall Beach Road, PRNS. |
      The final shot of the movie shows a seamless move up a tree and to the forests beyond. In reality, though, the lower three pictures were shot on stage at 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles, and the upper three pictures were filmed by helicopter above Fairfax-Bolinas Road near Alpine Lake in the Mount Tamalpais Watershed, Marin County. The visual effects artists digitally combined and morphed them together so that it looks like the same shot. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Even though I personally was left out the credits, I am glad that our list of thank-you credits made it in and was kept intact. Most of the movie was filmed in Los Angeles and Big Bear City, but this entire list is from us in Northern California!
