The behind-the-scenes production of Ocean's Thirteen

"Ocean's Thirteen" returned to the gambling mecca - Las Vegas, but the crew only shot some exterior scenes and panoramic shots in Las Vegas. As for the interior of the casino, which occupies the main content of the film The scenes were actually all "fake" in Warner's studio. This is because if the film were all shot on location in Las Vegas, in order to get the picture that director Steven Soderbergh wanted, It will take at least twice as long.

The multi-story casino in the film was built in Studio 16, one of the largest studios in Los Angeles. But since part of the floor area was taken up by a huge sink, the art team found a way to cover up the sink. The most "heavy" part of this scene is the elevator in the casino. Although it is not that heavy, it must have a load capacity of at least 37,000 pounds. For this reason, the artists had to dig into the foundation of the studio and install some specially processed footing devices to help fix the elevator and share the weight. It can be regarded as the most labor-intensive and complex set on the entire set. .
