The alcove where the statue resides also features the story of his life in public service, starting with his days as a pilot in the Air Force continuing on after his presidency. We were able to find and license many of the original photos and use them in our reproductions. When it came to recreating the bronze statue, it was 3D-scanned in Polycam and then sculpted in foam at Warner Bros. The best feeling at the airport set was when the crew members and pilots from Houston showed up and told us we had gotten the details right. I've collaborated with director of photography Marco Cordero on many projects. It was fun figuring out how the light would work in the airport together, where we would need practicals and where there were opportunities for cinema lights. We also collaborated on figuring out the backing for the 70-foot gate window. Originally, we thought our scenes would occur during the day, but we were able to make a case for a day/night backing for the gate window. Having the option A. G.H.W. BUSH STATUE IN PROGRESS. B.
