GREEN LANTERN
My Very Own Graveyard Set
It was my pleasure to be the 1st Unit and later, 2nd Unit "On Set Art Director," mostly because of the high energy tone set by the Director of the film, Martin Campbell. The sets were huge and complex, with many of the special effects and explosions taking place in reality, not blue screen. Perhaps it was my entrenchment with the shooting crew or my enthusiasm that the Supervising Art Director, Francois Audouy, now one of the most accomplished Production Designers himself, gave me my own set, from start to finish.
Angela Bassett's character, Dr. Waller, was visiting a loved one's grave on a dark hillside. It was to have the feel of the scene in the graphic novel, so there was a simplicity to the grave markers and setting, with one lonely bare tree, framing the shot.
I'm very proud of my level of participation on this film as one of three Asst. Art Directors.
