Dan Aykroyd's original idea
for the Ectomobile...
:28:16
was an all-black,
sinister-Iooking machine.
:28:19
But cinematographer Lazlo Kovacs
pointed out...
:28:21
that most of the Ectomobile scenes
would be shot at night...
:28:24
and a black ambulance
would be hard to see.
:28:27
It got painted white.

The Sedgewich Hotel exterior
and lobby...
:28:42
are actually the Biltmore Hotel
in downtown Los Angeles.
:28:45
The producers originally wanted to film
at the Waldorf Astoria in New York...
:28:48
but the huge lobby
at the Biltmore in Los Angeles...
:28:51
allowed director Ivan Reitman to
create this wonderful tracking shot.
:28:54
It was a perfect setting to reveal,
for the first time...
:28:56
the Ghostbusters in full regalia.
