Now That's How You Build a Science Fiction Set

If anyone at io9.com is actually worth his or her salt, then they should get a whiff of this...

The image above is only possible due to the incredibly dedicated and hard work of some of the best crew that the fine city of New York could offer. As our build days continue, the set pictures will become more sparse. How can you enjoy a surprise when you've already been behind the scenes? Thankfully, you can trust us to remain excited through and through.

As we wrap our casting, you'll start to see faces appear that will be easily recognizable before long!

Lighting Challenges!

This pic here is days old - the set is going up ridiculously quick.

We're giving our Director of Photography, Sam Chase, a fantastic challenge: All the paint is High Gloss! It's going to be terrifically beautiful, but really hard to shoot. We all love a challenge and we know Sam will make this film look fantastic!

Streaming build!

We're in.

Another grueling day humping materials from one warehouse to another. Everyone was up to speed and it went very well.

And as I stand here in a huge space preparing for a huge set build I wonder, as I have often in the past: "What the hell am I doing here?!" Somehow this is what I've decided I must do with my life. Making friggin' movies!!

Out with the Old, In with the New

We are 50% through with our load-in to INVISIBLE DOG. Even though today wasn't as hot as ALL of July, there's one thing you can't work without... ICE. Today I was asked, "You're producer?" My answer, "Shouldn't you be moving flats?"

Yes folks, even producer shovel ice. We're thrilled to be making this move. Party details to follow!

Upstate to Downstate

August 1st. Woodstock, New York.

Our rental at Invisible Dog began today and I celebrated it with a round trip excursion to Woodstock to pick-up our fearless director and his incredible stock of hardware and carpentry tools.

Tomorrow we begin our exodus from our storage space in Williamsburg to Invisible Dog - the old factory in Cobble Hill where we'll be HQ'd up for all of August. We are sharing the building with a choreographer who will be working on the 3rd floor. If there was a God, I'd be praying for no more heat waves!! But let's take it one day at a time, right?
