(Or was "over here" in reference to the 1940 move from Hyperion to Burbank? Was that a gradual transition or overnight?)
"Over here" refers to the rented studio on Seward Street in Hollywood that became the home for the Bambi unit. The Hyperion studio was overcrowded to the point of overflow, and so, while the Burbank studio was being built, apartments and office space around the Hyperion lot were rented and turned into little mini production rooms.
The Bambi unit was the farthest of these from the main Hyperion lot.
