Hey there again you guys,
Just saw a video on AMC's Breaking Bad blog that I found to be extremely interesting. This video is a behind the scenes look at Gus's super lab, in which Jesse and Walt cook in. This is a far different pace for the show when this lab came into the picture. Walt and Jesse were used to cooking in an RV with extremely basic equipment, meaning little yield. With the super lab however, everything is high quality in terms of equipment and safety.
The lab is located in the middle of nowhere in a very secure and secret place. This place is under another one of Gus's businesses, an industrial laundry establishment. Being under a laundry mat makes very punctual sense for the show's plot. Gus is known for his success in the fast food industry for Los Pollos Hermanos, being a fried chicken restaurant chain. Using vertical integration, Gus could save money on costs if he did his own cleaning of certain aspects, as well as make money on that individual business. Secondly, at industrial laundry facilities, they use a lot of chemicals and must exhaust these. So when the meth lab needs to exhaust any fumes, it is covered up by the laundry's. The actual lab is hidden under a few trap doors and about 25 feet of concrete. Once in the lab, color is a very pronounced aspect of any shot. Red is everywhere, besides all the stainless steal; this again helping represent criminality and confrontation.
These are only some of the points that can be addressed, so I urge you all to watch this video!
Thanks again!
