»Something Interesting on Kid's Story (Animatrix)«

I just recently got the DVD, and I noticed that in Kid's Story, they based the kid's high school off mine. It's most noticeable when he first skates into school, where you can see the front of it. Everything else is near dead on as well.(Courtyard, Hallways, Cafeteria etc.) I guess it shouldn't really surprise me, as they also filmed part of the first Matrix in my town as well.(I live in Alameda, CA btw.)


I've been wanting to make a Matrix fanfilm for a long time so I might base it off the Kid's Story universe and film it there.

BTW, does anyone have any links or info to the behind the scenes of the making of this episode of the Animatrix?

Cool! I did not know that they based the Kid's high school of the one you go to. Good luck with the fanfilm. I was wanting to make one too.

Annd...Welcome to the forums! **bounces up and down excitedly**

Thanks, although nothings official yet. I have a short rough script ready, but thats the farthest it is at this point.

And if anyone's interested, and can provide screen caps, I could take pictures of the actual campus to compare. There are many prominent locations you will probably immediately recognize.

I may be able to provide you with some screen caps.
