The past couple of months I have been working on another movie set. It was a wild ride! Many long hours and short deadlines but I was amazed at what our construction crew was able to pull off. Probably the most interesting that we built was a multi level set in one of the giant barns at Living History Farms. I worked with the production designer and he described how he wanted the set to be built. Then he asked me to make a model out of cardboard and I said it would be just as easy for me to make it out of wood.
There was an important action sequence that took place on this set. Ray Liotta and Billy Burke are fighting and rolling around on the different levels. They bust through railings, fall into the grain bin and break through the floor. The model was helpful for the stunt coordinator and director to visualize how the scene would play out.
I will post pictures of the actual set once the movie comes out. Josh Carlson and the Garcia bros. cranked it out in a mere 3 days!
