F D. EXTERIOR LOCATION FOR THE PREAKER HOUSE IN REDDING, CA. E. SKETCHUP MODEL STUDY SHOWING FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR SETS FOR THE PREAKER HOUSE. have required extensive set extensions and a lot of compromises, when location manager Greg Albert spotted a new possibility on a large estate in Redding, CA. On the outside, it was a classic Queen Anne (although it was painted canary yellow!), but the interior resembled a three-story McMansion, with an open plan and crass modern millwork. So it was decided to build an exact match on stage (except the yellow color!) with a traditional interior layout. This would be a built set—a two-story, fully functional Victorian mansion with a gorgeous wraparound veranda that matched the location in Redlands. Some window and door placement adjustments would need to be made to the location exterior façade to accommodate the interior of the stage set, but with the right backing and the help of Marc Cote, the VFX supervisor, smooth transitions from the location exterior were achieved. The interior of the first Victorian in Encino would be the starting basis of the interior set design. It had the right layout, openness and a somewhat faded grandeur. I deviated from the reference for the second floor. I thought that it would be interesting to arrange the bedrooms off a rectangular hallway circling the staircase run to the upstairs. Marian's would be closest to Adora's, and Camille would always need to sneak past Adora's door. E D
