For Jie

Employment came my way in the form of short film by Hiroshi Hara. I had a great time on this shoot and it has definitely reinvigorated me. The shoot was only two days but so much fun, the whole crew was so friendly and considerate, the shoot went smoothly which, as everyone knows, is just crazy. The photos below are some shots of the art/production design that I did. Yay!

I turned poor Mune's bedroom into a dilapidated Chinese studio. There was a slight fiasco with the location, but even that ended up working out quite effortlessly. Originally, we were supposed to shoot in Newark in this guys basement. When we got there to dress the set it was disgusting: moldy, bug infested, filled with stuff, smelly...etc So basically the day before we were set to shoot we rushed to change locations and Mune was nice enough to volunteer his neatly kept apartment.


Monday's location was heaven compared to Sundays. While Mune's apt was nice and clean, it was a 6'-0" ceiling height with a very small kitchen for holding. The pics below show a redress of Sasha's uncles place in Flushing. I changed it from a basic living room set up to show a Chinese style dining room dressed for the welcoming of a new baby. Who knew all the things I thought were ridiculous growing up would come in handy for a job.
