[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 352112, member: 57984"] Yes, the miniseries' office scenes were from an actual high-rise in downtown Dallas, and the first ten or so episodes from Season 2 (DVD) were also filmed entirely on location in Texas -- including the interior Southfork scenes and the new "dentist's" office scenes at Ewing Oil (with no explanation offered as to why Southfork's exterior and interior had changed so much, nor the interior offices). Mid-season, they returned to Los Angeles with the studio reproduction of those offices and Southfork's interiors ready to shoot. And, of course, the fake pool terrace area with the 40-watt bulb hanging over the set. What's funny is that the panoramic views outside JR's and Bobby's offices couldn't have possibly been in downtown Dallas, but instead some building just north of the city -- like, perhaps, the building where Barnes-Wentworth was later located... And when Ewing Oil's offices were redone in 1982, suddenly their windows were surrounded by skyscrapers (it was a studio set, of course) as if they'd changed buildings, but the exteriors of the same building on Elm Street (just a couple of blocks east of where JFK was shot) were still used for several more years. There is a highly detailed thread here on DALLAS filming locations and it has [I][B]everything[/B][/I] you could ever want to know (in fact, it ought to be a sticky thread, it's so thorough). The fake transparency/photo outside JR's window in the 1981/82 seasons improved remarkably over the previous painting of the same view, but it only lasted a year.
