ChannelTwoNews Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) We have The Weather Channel on in our workplace all the time, and they've changed the camera they take to show an image of Houston whenever they refer to anything happening. They used to pick up Channel 2's tower cam along 59 pointed toward uptown, but now they're using a (IMO) better shot from TSU. Based on the location, I think it's on top of the student center, overlooking the campus with downtown in the background. Looks great today.

IronTiger Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I was rewatching some E3 trailers, and I noticed around 1:09 in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator trailer, you can actually see Minute Maid Park and the convention center. It appears only around a second, but it's definitely Houston. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have the Weather Channel on in our workplace, but I've noticed another camera in use that they tend to pull from as of late. It is located Uptown, I think on the Sonesta at 610 near Westheimer. While I like seeing the Williams Tower at times as a reminder of home, there are definitely better vantage points of the city than toward that stretch of Post Oak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLWM8609 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 From a 1969 CBS presentation about automobile technology of the then future. Houston is all throughout. Go to 9:29 and you'll see Memorial Dr. with the Sawyer St. ramp and former Holiday Inn/2100 Memorial Senior Living High Rise under construction. 16:05 you'll see I-45 between Allen Parkway and Dallas, followed by some aerial views of Downtown. The initial shots at the beginning look like they might be the Gulf Freeway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citykid09 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Houston Comedian Mo Amer announced on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he just finished shooting his sitcom in Houston. The first sitcom to ever be shot in Houston and the crowd including Kimmel seemed to be shocked that it’s the first. I’m surprised more television shows aren’t filmed in Houston or Texas in general. I know Dallas and Austin get shows like this on a regular. Houston has seen more reality shows lately. Maybe there will be more to come. The sitcom will be called “Mo” he said and I believe it will be released on Netflix. He also has a new standup comedy special releasing on Netflix call Mohammed in Texas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days, with equipment being smaller and more generally available, and talent being able to travel more easily, where things get filmed is largely about money. Most often, that money is expressed as tax and other incentives. There's a reason that Netflix has a massive, and still growing, studio complex in New Mexico. New Mexico lobbied hard to get Netflix and make it financially viable. It happens all the time. For a while, most of the big television productions moved to Vancouver, because it started offering enough incentives for the studios to move production up there. That ended up being the seed for what is now a thriving entertainment production industry in that city. Very occasionally, you'll have a production tied to a particular city because talent doesn't want to travel. But that is super rare, and only happens when a production is reliant on talent. (Stuff like late night talk shows.) The only time in recent memory that I can think of when money hasn't been the cause of a big shift in production was when Los Angeles laid down the chroma green bike lanes downtown. That caught the production companies that make car commercials by surprise because it ruined the visuals they were used to using, affected continuity, and made it harder to paint out the equipment from the finished product. They quickly moved car commercial production to Seattle, Portland, Chicago, and other places. One production company even re-paved a road in a state park in Nevada in order to shoot its commercial. The public lost access to half the park for a day, but gained a nice new road. Houston has an organization that's supposed to bring productions here: The Houston Film Commission. According to its web site, the last movie that was made here was a slasher film set in Sugar Land, and that was in 2016 — six years ago. If you're looking for someone to blame for Houston not being on the national radar, the Film Commission is a good place to start. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 Here are the reasons that the Houston Film Commission lists for why companies should film in Houston: Quote When filming in the Houston area your project may be eligible for up to a 2.5% addition to the standard Texas Production Incentive With 2.3 million residents, Houston is the most populous city in the southern US and covers more than 634 square miles. The western face of the Houston skyline is one of the most iconic in the US. Eighty-three languages are spoken in Houston. Houston has 50,632 acres of total park space. The Greater Houston area has 14 major institutions of higher learning. Texas Medical Center (TMC) with 49 member institutions-including M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the No. 1 cancer hospital in the country-is the largest medical complex in the world. Houston has 5 professional sports teams and four major sports venues. That's a crap list. The only one that means anything is the first one. The rest have absolutely no bearing on whether a company will film in Houston or not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The first eight episodes of the series "Mo" have been released. The comedy/drama was created by and stars Houston comic Mo Amer. a Palestine refugee, and was filmed in and around Houston. It has received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Set aside a few hours to binge; I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the writing and how Houston is incorporated seamlessly into the storyline. I hope it's picked up for future seasons. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEES?! Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I binged-watched it over a weekend, and really liked it! First off- gorgeous cinematography and great characters. This show has a lot of heart, and it feels very Houston. I personally feel like it would’ve benefitted from being in an hour-long format and maybe getting a couple more episodes, but I really enjoyed what I saw and I hope it gets a season 2! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
