It sets the full base of the exchange already Excessive praise, Flattened Series: Legacy Film Studio fights to be relevant in the era of streaming, franchisees and fractures.

To create (fictional) studios at the center of studioHolding and series cocreator/long -standing Ivan Goldberg had to build their vision for the first continent. To do this, he listed the production designer Julie Bergoff, who previously worked with the pair on AMC PreacherHe told him that he wanted him to think out of the box and make something for one of the “Big Five” Hollywood film studios (Warner Brothers, Paramount, Sony, Universal and Disney), complete with your own film Lot and Backstory.
She knew from the script of the show that Continental Studio started around 1923, which caused her to see two of the two dominated styles in Art Deco and Spanish Revival Architecture, Los Angeles. Rogen and Goldberg Love Midsentary Design, Especially Is a hobby for John LonnerHence the trio settled on the revival period of Frank Lloyd Wright. (Right Was an early guru For Lotner.) This was an easy reference, with Examples of this He Wright Era in the early 1920sLike Anis HouseAlready LA is dotting landscape. Bergoff found to work.
“Wright came in Los Angeles after the World Fair in San Diego and was in a very dark place – he was designing a lot of buildings that were very toballic because he loses his wife and his children,” Bergoff says. “Seth and Ivan liked the idea that the studio’s office could also feel a tomblike, as it was embracing the fact that this silver screen cinematic world was almost ending with streaming. Creating this place that raised the story of ancient studio.”
To capture the revival essence of the Wright, Bergoff designed decorative blocks, referring to the Continental Studio logo for the building facade, as well as the columns of the atrium and the cavaras entry. “That logo is in the entire set,” says Bergoff. “It is on the floor, it is in the fountain, it is on the walls, it is on the screen, and it is in the office.” Textile block -styles however were not made of concrete, brick or stone; They were prepared through a combination of CNC routing, laser cutting and casting. Bergoff’s team placed dark plaster over wood, mixed with glass agargate so that it would reflect a little light on-camera.
Production designer Julie Bergoff prepared a set for the offices of the Continental Studios with Textile Blocks after the Meyan Revival -Style Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.
They had to do all this quickly, also, because they had to build a continental studio interior over 8,000 square feet at a Warner Brothers Lot Soundstage for only six weeks. (He built the studio facade in front of the TV offices of the real Warner Brothers, as well.) Bergoff was conscious of the camera movement and saying that he took special inspiration from the Wright. Palmer House In N Arber, Michigan, was made with perforated bricks to encourage light in light and encourage its flow from room to room. He made boxy acrylic lights for the rights inspired atrium pillars. Imperial Hotel In Tokyo. Bergoff says that the front door of the building was inspired by Nearly brunetlist sunburst doors Lonner in Hollywood Hills Harvey HouseWhere Catherine O’Hara’s character, a lover maker and former Boss of Remic, lives in the show. (Lonner’s Carling house Rimic stands as a house, and another Lonner Classic, SilvertopOr the setting for one of the standout episodes of the show, the raner-burchail residence.)
When? studio It takes place in the impure-right building, it is often for long-filled scenes, which climb to the balcony level of the offices above the atrium, or who survey their entire domain through a glass wall in their corporate fishbells. Set Decorator Claire Cofman was responsible for sourcing all studios from Cofman Remik 10-foot walnut desk For a huge wall of Hollywood geodesic Cineerma dome Or etched with a custom conference table studio logo.
Most of the middle-inspired furniture for the office set was made of scratches.
Cofman and Bergoff made all decorations in just four weeks, an achievement that is additional when you consider how much of the furniture was made of scratch. “It was inspired by the midscentory design,” says Bergoff, but it turned to our own. Even when we liked, we liked it, we could not always get enough, like we could not find six out of six. The same steelcase desk For assistants in four weeks, so we had to make them. ,
The atmosphere of the show draws the beauty of the Hollywood and midscentory los angeles from the beauty DNAs, the story is still firmly set in the 21st century, and there are a lot of reminder in the on-screen settings. “We were deliberately about balanced with the contemporary,” Bergoff says. “Integrating modern technology-in the white, minimal forms of a-lighter, phone, minimal forms-the earth-toned environment was a challenge we embraced.”
“Frank Lloyd Right -Put a MacBook on the inspired desk or parking next to a ridiculous cardboard cutout is something fun. A EMS chair“She adds.” That struggle is part of attraction. It also reflects the way of operating real Hollywood: always remixed old glamor with new chaos. ,
If you look quite closely, there are references to a certain 20th century film Along with the art of the building -with the style of the building, some Bergoff had the impact of the style on a tone for the effect of the style with the guidance of rogen and goldberg on a tone. studioSays Bergoff, “Scruball comedy has been in filmmaking since the 1930s, and we do not realize that Gary Cooper and all these famous actors were participating in them.” “I didn’t realize how little I knew about the history of filmmaking until I found this project to design, and it’s really good.”
