Welcome to the search for the footprints of cinema history.
Have you ever wondered what remains of the iconic sets from your favorite classics after 40, 50, or even 60 years? I travel to the most remote filming locations in movie history to merge the past with the present.
What you can expect on this channel:
Precise 1:1 Comparisons: I hunt for the exact camera angles and focal lengths used by the original directors—from the dusty deserts of Almería to the urban canyons of San Francisco.
Cinematographic Archaeology: Through meticulous overlays and rotoscoping, I bring the original actors back to life at the actual locations as they look today.
A Focus on Cult Classics: My passion lies in Italian Westerns, the works of Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone, and the unforgettable thrillers of the 70s and 80s.
Join me as I discover and preserve these hidden movie locations for posterity. Let’s find the magic of cinema where it was born.

The McBain Massacre: 1968 vs. 2024
I traveled deep into the Tabernas Desert in Spain to find the legendary Sweetwater Ranch.
Standing on the exact spot where one of cinema's most iconic scenes was filmed was a chilling experience.
The ghosts of the past are still there. In my latest "Then & Now" exploration, I compare the original movie scenes with the location as it stands today.

Hard to believe it’s been 55 years!
Standing at the exact spot where Clint Eastwood filmed the opening scenes of 'Dirty Harry' (1971) was an incredible experience. The 4K comparison really shows how much (and how little) has changed since then!

Standing on holy ground for every Dirty Harry fan!
This is the exact spot on Alcatraz where Inspector Callahan used the rocket launcher in 'The Enforcer' (1976).
Currently matching my 4K footage with the original movie scenes. San Francisco has changed, but the spirit of Harry Callahan is still here!

🎬 BULLITT (1968) vs. 2025: Chasing the ghost of the Dodge Charger! 🏎️💨
Check out this shot from my filming session in San Francisco!
Here I am cruising through the iconic corner at Larkin St & Francisco St – the exact spot where the Dodge Charger loses one of its famous hubcaps during the legendary chase.
I’ve layered the "ghost" of the 1968 Dodge just ahead of my Mustang to show how perfectly the architecture and the streets still align after 56 years.
The adrenaline of these hills is still very real! 🐎✨

🎬 BULLITT (1968) vs. 2024: Auf der Jagd nach dem Geist des Dodge Chargers! 🏎️💨
Ein Schnappschuss von meinem Filmdreh in San Francisco!
Hier fahre ich gerade durch die legendäre Kurve an der Larkin St & Francisco St – genau an der Stelle, an der der Dodge Charger in der berühmten Verfolgungsjagd eine seiner Radkappen verliert.
Ich habe den 1968er Dodge direkt vor meinem Mustang eingeblendet.
Es ist faszinierend zu sehen, wie perfekt die Häuserzeilen und die Straßenführung auch nach 56 Jahren noch übereinstimmen. 🐎✨
