Factory 91
short film (2016)

Designed and built a mythical Willy Wonka-esque doctor's factory from ground up in a soundstage. For the walls, flats were painted a clean white and white wooden panels and moulding were installed. Thin plexiglass was used to create a realistic window. The checkerboard flooring was installed by taping down individual 1'x1' vinyl tiles. All set design was kept in a palette of white, teal/green, and amber to create a surreal and eerie cleanliness. All furniture pieces, props, and set dressing was chosen to fit an early 1900s era to create a dated look.
In addition to the factory build, interior locations were designed to create a beautiful fairytale-like world. Katherine's room was kept in a faded rose, cream, and light brown palette. Every piece of set dressing, furniture, and decor was brought in. The room was decorated with a ballerina motif, and kept as feminine as possible. Katherine's room is designed in the mid-20th century era to contrast her world with the doctor's factory.
