When you first arrive goo inside the coffee shop on the far right.
Once you step inside, go talk to the homeless man, former child star Willy Bingleman!
Once you have talked with him leave the coffee
shop, and go one shop over to the left. It’s called One-of-a-Kind
Talent Agency.
Once you get inside, go all the way to the right. There will be a
woman at the desk. She says you look like a star, and you say, “Me, a
star?” Then she says if you pay a thousand dollars, she’ll help you get
started on your career. Then
she tells you to go to Harvey Scoops if you’re looking for money. Now,
leave the building and head right to the next area – Sunrise Street.
Once you get there, head past the theater and souvenir shop until you
get to a wall with a guy standing next to it, Harvey Scoops
He’s investigating the place because rumors have swirled that
someone’s been working in there. Ask if you can help, and he says yes.
Harvey also asks you to climb the building and get a picture. You’ll
receive a
Telephoto Camera.
Now, go all the way to the far left on Main Street, you will see a
guy with camera in front of the Celebrity Wax Museum. Click “Use” on the
Telephoto Camera and he will give you some
Camera Film.
Now, go back to where Harvey Scoops is at and climb the building. Go
to your list of items, and click “Use” on the Camera Film. It will
combine with the Camera to make it work. Now, click “Use” on the camera
and take a photograph of a man with a beard, in the building next to the
Souvenir Shop. Once you take it, you’ll feel an earthquake, and then
you’ll fall into the property.
After regaining consciousness, run right and click on the door to enter the stage.
When you click on it, the assistant director of the movie will come
out. She asks if you’re security, and you say no. She’s happy about that
because she doesn’t want the movie to be interrupted. Ask about the
movie, and she says it’s being made by Carson Willis, the greatest
filmmaker of all time, who has been missing. After you finish talking to
her, enter the building.
Kirk Strayer
Once you get there, run left onto the stage, where movie star Kirk
Staryer is acting. He gets mad that someone always interrupts his scene,
so he runs off with Carson Willis chasing after him, trying to get him
so they can continue the filming.
After Kirk and Carson leave, follow them. Once you get outside,
you’ll find the assistant director freaking out about the schedule,
telling you to go get Kirk back.You then receive an official studio cart.
Once you leave the first stage, you need to look for Kirk’s trailer.
So drive straight down until you reach the far bottom wall, then turn
around and go up to the right a lttle bit and you will see his trailer.
Getting the coffee
Once you get there, knock on the star door. Kirk Strayer will tell
you to go away, but you ask him what it’s going to take to get him out
of there. Strayer says he wants a Half-Caf Leviathan Latte-Expresso on
the double. Then a cup comes out of the skylight on the trailer.
Now, hop on your cart, and head back to Soundstage 1. Then go all the
way to the left and open the gate so you can get out and fetch his
coffee.
Run all the way back to Main Street, and enter one of the two
Queequeg’s Coffee Shops to refill Kirk’s cup. The guy at the register
will tell you he is out of that particular drink so you will have to
choose another. Choose the
Infant-Sized Coffee (decaf espresso).
Now exit the coffee shop and run to the left until you get to the
other coffee shop. Talk to the lady at the register and she will also
tell you she is out of that particular coffee. Order an
Infant Sized Coffee (full latte).
Now open your menu items and choose the Infant Sized Coffee. Pour
both cups of coffee into the larger cup and you will have made the
coffee that Kirk wanted – a
Half-Caf Leviathan Latte-Espresso.
Go all the way back to Kirk’s trailer after you have done this. Knock
on his door again and you will tell him you have his coffee.
Filming
Jump back into the cart and go back to Soundstage 1. Once the old guy
stops talking, jump up the wooden stairs and use the camera. When using
the camera, just make sure to keep Kirk in the middle of the screen at
all times, demonstrated in the picture below.
Chasing the Script
Once you are done filming, exit Soundstage 1 and jump into your cart
again. Go all the way to the right until you get to Soundstage 2. Enter
the soundstage and talk to the lady there.
Now exit the soundstage and go back to Soundstage 1. Jump to the top
of Soundstage 1 using the ledges on the left. Talk to the guy on top of
the building, Goldie, and his precious screenplay will be blown away to
Sunrise Street.
Now go to the left and go back to the top of the green building. There will be a
screenplay page on the TV antenna on top of Juan’s Celebrity Souvenirs.
Continue left and get to the top of the Chinese theater building. To
get to the top, use the sides of the roof to help you bounce high enough. You will find another
screenplay page on top of that building.
Keep going left until you get to the first Queequeg’s Coffee House (right of the Talent Agency), where you should find another
screenplay page on the neon sign at the top. Keep going left until you get to the Celebrity Wax Museum and the last
screenplay page will be on the far left of the roof of that building.
Once you have all of the pages, go all the way back to the right and
talk to the guy on top of Soundstage 1. Give him the pages and jump back
into your cart.
Go back to Soundstage 2 and talk to the lady again. Now it’s time to
put the script pages in order. Open the scripts from your menu and
rearrange them so that the 3rd one is 1st, the 4th one is 2nd, the 1st
one is 3rd and the 2nd one is 4th.
Become an Actor
Lead Actress
Now you will be given an
Actress Headshot and it’s
your job to find someone that looks like her to play a lead in the
movie. Exit the soundstage and go back all the way to the beginning of
the island and enter the One-Of-A-Kind Talent Agency. Give the lady at
the desk the headshot. The lady at the desk will tell you she’s
actually Lacey Williams!
Acting as the Navigator
Now head back to Soundstage 2. Once you get there, you will have to
play the role of the navigator. Go to the left and jump up to change
into costume.
- The first thing you say in the film is “But-”
- When it comes up, offer her a compass.
- Next, say “Safe journeys! I’ll never forget you!”
- After that, your next line is “Noooooo!”
Prop train
Now exit the soundstage and go to Soundstage 3 which is all the way
to the right and to the bottom of the road map. Enter the stage and talk
to the lady on the left. Now you will have to put together 3 puzzles to
build a prop train. You’ll be given more than enough wood pieces, so
there are multiple ways you can finish the puzzle, but here are some
possible solutions:
Casting the cowboys
Once you’re done, run to the right, jump above the door, and grab some cowboy hats – you’ll need a white one and a black one.
Now exit Soundstage 1 and go back to the beginning of the island so
you can find some actors. The first one will be in the first coffee shop. Give Willy Bingleman the
Black Hat.
The second will be in the Digital Dreamscapes studio who’s wearing a motion capture
suit. Give him the
White Hat.
Calling the shots
Head back to Soundstage 3. Once you get there, talk to the lady again. You will now be the stunt coordinator. All you need to do
here is press on the buttons that relate to whatever the director calls
for: a tornado, a villain (hat), or a buffalo.
King Kong Spoof
Once you are done, exit the soundstage and go to Soundstage 4, which
is all the way to the right and down a bit. Enter this soundstage and
you will now dress up as an ape and your role is to destroy the city. To
do this, just jump on the buildings, pop all of the balloons, and
destroy all of the lights!
“Jump on the rooftops all the way to the top to collect the red
balloon. Be sure to pop all the green balloons on the way.” While you’re
jumping, cannons will be shooting at you, slowly lowering your “life”
bar. The trick is that you can destroy the cannons by hitting them and
you can smash the army men by landing on top of them. There’s one level
that’s the toughest because it has three army men. Try to jump on all
three of them at once. When you get the red balloon, you win.
Post Production
Once you are done filming, exit the soundstage and go to the Post
Production building which is the one across the street to the left.
Film Editing
Talk to the old guy and then head to the film editing computer to the
left. You will have to cut some shots out. “Can you find the mistake?
Scrub through each scene and locate the frame with the error, then
splice it out with the razor.”
You’ll see three rolls of film. In each roll is something that is
off. The first one has a yellow banana, the second one has a boom mic in
shot, and the third one has stuffing coming out of the bear.
Use the bar at the bottom of each roll to move it forward or backward
one frame at a time. When you see the mistake, click on the razor blade
at the right. Then left click and hold to cut between the green lines.
Cut above the film cell and below it to splice it out. Do it three
times to finish.
Sound Editing
Click on the director, who will tell you it’s time to add sound.
Follow him into the sound editing bay to the right. Click on one
of the sound effect props.
“Each of the scenes needs four sounds added at the right time. Click
on the correct sound when you see the indicator flash on screen.” There
are 16 sound effect (SFX) buttons along the bottom. In the middle is a
rolling film. At the top is a digital screen which will flash and tell
you which SFX button to hit.
First clip:
- Rain (rustling paper)
- Thunder (metal sheet)
- Balloon popping (balloon)
- Balloon hitting water (cup of water)
Second clip:
- Fireplace (match and can)
- Plates rattling (plates)
- Bear growling (bear)
- Ghost moaning (ghost)
Third clip:
- Buffalo (buffalo)
- Horses galloping (coconuts)
- Train (brushes and whistle)
- Punch (paddle and meat)
Fourth clip:
- Airplane (fan)
- Kong landing on building (anvil hitting box)
- Gorilla howl (gorilla)
- Kong falling (bottle)
Once you are completely done editing the film, talk to the old director again. He will give you
Film Reels to take to the Chinese theater!
The Many-Splendored Zephyr
Now head all the way back to the beginning of the island and go to
the theater. Talk to the lady standing outside of it and say “He’s a
strange guy, what’s his deal?”
Enter the theater and run to the right. Now jump up and use the seats
to go all the way to the left to the projector room. Use the film reels
to add the movie to the projector. Enjoy the show!
Once the movie is over, exit the theater and talk to the lady (Sofia)
once again. She will give you your gold medallion and credits for the
Store! Congratulations, you’ve completed Back Lot Island!
Bonus Quest (members only)
But wait…there’s a bonus quest to be had. Sofia tells you
that a camera was left on in Soundstage 1. The bonus quest description:
“Sneak into the studio and evade security to win a new prize in this
island’s bonus quest! Plus, get a bonus prize pack of costumes and
items.”
Enter the studio and go to Soundstage 1. Jump up to the camera to
grab it. Just as you do, the Warren sisters, the owners of Grand
Majestic Studios, will catch you and accuse you of trespassing. You
hightail it out of there.
Avoid Back Lot security
“Avoid and outlast the Back Lot security. Collect (rockets) for speed boosts. Collect (green balls) for extra protection.”
You’ll be in your cart and need to dodge the security carts that come
after you. The trick is to just stay to the outside roads as much as
possible. Don’t try grabbing the rockets or green balls, just keep
moving. It’s a little challenging, but not super difficult.
The reward is a hand-held camera!
