The Attic
One of our most engaging sets was a full-scale replica of an attic space. We built, dressed, and aged this set in a small studio so we could seamlessly cut from the real location into it and then safely simulate flooding. Because it was one of our more complex builds, I collaborated with another crew member to complete construction and dressing, ensuring the set was both visually convincing and functional for filming.

Tile Heist
One of the more fun setups was a scene where our main character, desperate for money, resorted to stealing expensive tiles from a renovation job site. I was tasked with transforming a garage to look like a job-site, as if workers had been tearing out old tile and preparing to install new. To achieve this, I sourced pallets and tile-sized boxes, then layered in scattered construction debris to sell the authenticity of an active work site.

Zach, Lilly and Martha's House
I was responsible for completely transforming an abandoned lake house into a functional, lived-in home for our main characters. This involved installing vinyl flooring, adding curtains, furnishing the space, and layering in smaller details to create authenticity. The director was very pleased with the result, and the location became a significant one in the story.

Painting the Sets
Our main character was both an oil painter and a house painter, so many of the locations needed to look mid-renovation. I dressed sets with drop cloths, ladders, and painting supplies, and in several locations both the actor and I painted the walls to achieve the effect. When striking, I repainted many of them back to their original color.
The Car
The car was used almost daily as a key set for our main character, a house painter. I transformed it into a believable painter’s work vehicle by sourcing and arranging paint supplies and other dressing. I even paid attention to small details, dusting around the magnetic logo so that when it was removed, the car’s paint appeared naturally worn and faded.
