This is the camera I'll so in and it hit typical situation they rehearse here all week and then when they have the actual show taping. You have a live audience up here and that is not canned laughter -- it's real it really adds some performance of the actors and actress sure. And then these are all the sets that were used to seeing it is they're actually an exterior over here S degree in NAFTA exterior that we saw earlier we just walk around the -- Oh wait a minute you mean this match is one of the actual real houses that we just earlier. Yeah you know I think I remember the color that the kind of blue gray trim and in the -- field. If you come over here you can see -- We we decorate the exterior with greens because that's her nursery green of plants so actually many of the plants are real plants in containers. That have -- short lives in here no doubt but then the the the backdrops. Are Armenian populated and if you look around looking good yeah good -- when you work. You can see that the structure of the building as well but the lighting grid is what's essential because. -- all of this is -- lighting right everything's in the yet what do we have to knock -- and we don't know I think we go.
