D I S C L A I M E R | P E R S P E C T I V E 6 3 came multiple revamps with even a last-minute decision to narrow all corridors by nine inches… At this point I have to say, our relationship with the VFX team, led by Charlie Iturriaga, was amazing… the backgrounds that were created, just fantastic, reality created… Sometimes you forget what's real and what's virtual. That's how good we felt it was. To maximize space even further, the crew built some of the smaller sets—offices, flats, cafés—on wheeled rostrums. It allowed us to tuck them into corners of the stage when not in use, then move them out and light them up when needed. That system really came into its own during the final three months of the shoot. E X T . H O S P I T A L . 3 D M O D E L V I E W S EXT.

The room had to feel inviting and comfortable, yet still hold a sense of unease, influenced by the different ways the events were remembered. The color palette was important—we used warm tones like red, beige, gold and soft pastels to create a personal atmosphere, but also carefully controlled the lighting to add shadows and depth, reflecting the emotional complexity of the scene. We chose vintage, Italian furniture to give the room a sense of history, reflecting classy Catherine's background. The fabrics and plush bedding were used to add a soft, sensual feel, but we knew they would also contribute to the underlying tension aiding the audience as if it were a holiday romance between Catherine and Jonathan. A stylistic nightmare. Then there were the locations in Italy... E. HOSPITAL EXTERIOR. SET BUILD PROPOSAL. DIGITAL MODEL. F. HOSPITAL EXTERIOR. SET PHOTO. G. HOSPITAL EXTERIOR.SET BUILD PROPOSAL.
