3-D Foam Scale Model

This is a scale model of the set, designed to allow us to see what the drawings look like in 3-D. It facilitates a clearer vision of the vision. It accomplishes many savings going forward:
  • determining distance between set pieces
  • loosely blocking movement on set
  • creating zones for furnishings, cast, crew, lights, cameras, etc.
  • placement of set pieces -- moving a sofa takes only seconds
  • allows us to see how master lights effect the set
  • where additional movable walls could be placed
This is the phase after the drawings are approved and certain set furnishings determined. As a blank white palette, it is so much more easy to scan issues and make decisions without the distraction of exact color, exact styling of set pieces and distances. The foam set helps bring the set to life in ways that get us to the next level ... the build.
