Production Design

"Art department for this film was a huge undertaking that called for months of careful research and revision after revision of detailed digital models- including renderings of how we could expect light to interact with the space . . . The set build itself took approximately a month, as nearly everything had to made from scratch, including the specialty pieces such as the shoji doors and the curved archways. We brought set dressing in from every imaginable source- from the Warner Bros lot to Amazon.com."
