Lost on a Mountain in Maine: Hospital / by Charlene Wang de Chen

Hospital sets are usually dispiriting and no fun, but a PERIOD hospital set is a little more fun.

In this case, despite the simplicity, I really love the way this short brief set came out.

I mean the radiator covers do not look period appropriate to the 1930’s but everyone told me we did not have the money for fixing that and it wouldn’t be in the shot anyways…

little sketch of how I imagined the set based on the info Darcy told me and the scout.

a very makeshift plan for our set dressers

for the hospital hallway scene, we had to change out one overhead light as it would be seen in the long shot of the hallway and we got to rent this GORGEOUS period light fixture.

well one of the sheers fell here, but it’s a pretty good angle on the hospital set.

The actors just hanging out chatting with our DP Idan in the foreground.

sigh, while the non-period accurate radiator covers are a bit blurred in the background UNFORTUNATELY YOU CAN TOTALLY SEE THEM IN THE SHOT!
