The next step was ordering materials. My first
dose of reality for ust how big the set was
going to be was in the astronomical amount of
carpet we needed. The availability of materials
was constantly and abruptly changing.
Something could be plentiful one week and
gone forever the next week. The volume of
dropped orders, incorrect shipments, and yes,
even miscommunications by the overstressed
construction and rt Department, made us all
shift into survival mode. e had to make whatever
arrived work. y the end of the installation, the
crew was piecing together carpet in elaborate
computerized cutting patterns to avoid any waste.
The people who had to install the flooring could be
unreasonable, but they also were also incredibly
patient and skilled. Many kudos to ssistant rt
Director Lorie allick, who never gave up and
saved the day many times.
Meanwhile in set decorating, the sheer number
of items that had to be acquired for this one set
of Theranos was beyond daunting. here I might
have given up, I was constantly impressed by the
decorator, im Leonard, and her crew's ability to
make it happen.
