Out of the Wild

Dance Scene

A small town country 4th of July dance was shot at an empty stage in a park. I designed fencing to be built along the edge of the stage to add depth to the scene. The posts were added for height and to hold copper lanterns. They also worked as means of stringing cafe bulbs above the dance floor.

Prop Fabricating/Signage

Given the film being a western in the desert, I decided most props should be hand made, weathered and aged apropiately.

Line Shack

Since a line shack is placed out on the boundry line of a ranch, Its look needs to be old, worn and made up of many basic materials found out in the dessert. For the scenes requirments, I designed the shack to have a removable back wall for the camera.

Jessies Ranch/Bunkhouse

We turned an old storage shed into a small beaten down bunkhouse for Henry to live in while working on the ranch. Set dressed to fill the needs of his duties on the ranch, I filled the space with tools, harnesses, ropes and Henry's few personal belongings.
