Lousiana Wave Studio 2

The Louisiana Wave Studio in Shreveport in action during the filming of "The Guardian."
In June 2006 the wave tank became part of Louisiana Wave Studio, LLC, which is owned and operated by Louisiana-born Dr. Ken Atchity, chairman of Atchity Entertainment International, Inc., and co-manager, Fred Griffin of Houston's Griffin Partners, Inc.
The tank is 100 feet long, 80 feet wide and 8 feet deep, a total of 8,000 square feet, holding 750,000 gallons of water. The "wave factory" is capable of generating an endless variety of waves up to nine feet and horizontal storm conditions. On one side, drums, or "dump tanks," can be mounted 50 feet in the air atop wide chutes to pour water onto actors or set pieces such as ship decks. Three 150 horsepower fans and eight hidden chambers are used to churn up waves of any type or configuration the director can imagine.

What is exciting about this to me personally, is that this facility is located on a large tract of land in South Shreveport, LA in the Slack Industrial Park only five minutes drive from my home. When they were in production last winter, it was something to drive over to the site and watch the action as scenes from the movie GUARDIAN starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher were being shot.
