The making of Caihong City: photos and stories

PRODUCTION DESIGN

"Pegasus Infirmary" Soldier, hero and mad genius LAURA CECHANOWICZ working on the Pegasus Infirmary set	"Little Serioja's Room" New Year's Eve Day... during the production.	"Renmin Square" Chocolate stand cut out of wood by a one-toothed carpenter for the Renmin Square scene
"Liu Junjie's Hut" We hand painted hundreds of diagrams for Liu Junjie's technical plans - a small army of painters working to finalize the set mere hours before the shoot. We typically had to move swiftly from set to set and finishing touches were right on schedule.	"Tanti Lili's House" Tanti Lili's House was created in the corner of a studio room at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY: a small magical tableau.	"Furui City Pretend-Party" We used massive amounts of recycled paper and old Chinese newspapers to make this paper paradise.
Lebrac's Locksmith Workshop Lebrac's Workshop was shot at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. This old location came with a rich collection of old tools and furniture. We added many blue keys and tools and gathered all the blue we could to place it in prominent positions. One of the greatest parts of this set are all the cats roaming around and Pratt's steamroom caretaker.
