So this last week was a real exciting one. We got to try out to build a set, and then have it filmed. There where four different sets to work on in the studio and I opted to be in the one that was to be a kitchen in a cabin, wood stove and all. The four of us that worked on this particular set quickly agreed that making it look abandoned and old would be the best way to do it, it would give us the most things to try out to do. The basic layout was done, we had walls, floor and a wood stove (no that is not a real one in the picture, someone made that before and it got re-used). The plan was to put plaster on one wall, wall paper on the other and work it down from that. We did not have any wall plaster though so we made some, with casting plaster, sand and some PVA glue.

| The room as it was build when we got there, more or less. |
 |
| One wall plastered and one with a dark spot where the wall paper would be lose. |
The whole plan was to make it look like it has been abandoned for about 80 years or so in the end, this was done with several layers of paints of various kinds applied to almost everything. The wallpaper of cause would have to be painted to look dirty and we also wanted it to have come lose a bit.
 |
| Wallpaper is pit up and floor has been painted once. |
 |
| Walls are seriously dirty looking by now and derails are added. |
 |
| Quick picture taken during the shooting of the set. |
And that is it. I will post a short cut of the shooting of the set so you can see it in better detail and quality then the picture above, as soon as I get the raw footage and can edit it.
