Studio build of bedroom interiors
Studio build of bedroom interiors

The decision was made to build the interior bedroom sets of our two lead characters for a number of reasons: to facilitate a top shot travelling between the two bedrooms for a key scene. To allow an increase in size from the real council flat size to ease the shooting. To allow for a key scene where the father destroys his daughter's room in a fit of rage.

‘Working with Chris on Origins was both a pleasure and constant source of inspiration. We have to build 32 large sets, each differing wildly from WW1 trenches to 14th Century Chinese dynasties, and every one Chris created was absolutely stunning. His ability to know what all elements of the production need to create something amazing is really unmatched by any one else I have worked with. I hope we get to work lots more in the future’.
