Search Party Season 5 Streaming on HBOMax Today!
Assistant Set Decorator Katie Lobel (R) and me (L, looking very tired)
In honor of Search Party’s Season 5 drop today on HBOMax, I wanted to post some fun behind-the-scenes photos of the Set Decoration and Art Department teams working on the sets of the show when they were still just construction sites and ideas we were trying to bring to life.
First up, the most gratitude to Assistant Decorator @msladykobel the woman that made it happen. It was a two woman set dec team (!) and somehow we did it in a global pandemic thanks in large part to the ingenuity and detailed hardwork of @andrewbehm_ !
Our set dressing crew laying the flooring on the LYTE HQ set.
Huge thanks to the wonderful set dressing team @bowangkeo @aaronschraeter @ndprokopp @callmeluciferbaby pictured in Lyte HQ when it was but a construction site.
Production Designer Maggie Ruder and me in the LYTE Meditation Room.
All hail our fearless leader Maggie Ruder truly the most generous, kindest, and wonderful person to get to collaborate with creatively and who gave us the beautiful vision. Here we are together in the happy place (the meditation room with comfy floor cushions where I would escape to when it got too loud and crazy)
Art Director Katie Fleming, Production Designer Maggie Ruder, and Assistant Set Decorator Katie Lobel and I take a meeting on what we still need to do to finish this elevator to the center of the earth.
And the whole awesome Art Department and Set Dec team that made Search Party Season 5 a joy to work on: Loren Kane, graphic designer extraordinaire; Katie Fleming, Art Director Queen of the Plans, Art Dept Coordinator who held it all down Kevin @kuyakeben Sydney who cut all those graphics and more @sydbarbera and @nmontag25 who literally saved me once again.
Together we are as according to Tunnel aka Jeff Goldbum also apparently “the team that designed selfie castle!” 🌈
Katie Lobel testing out John Water’s chair out for him.
Also yes, that’s actually John Waters.
More in depth behind-the-scenes blog posts coming soon!
