Just Desserts




Over the last few weeks i have been working on a short film"Just Desserts". Produced by Donna Lyon and directed by Nigel Karikari. It was shot by Katie Millright. The film is set in a stylized road side cake shop. The art departments job was to convert a  bowling club into this cakRemove Formatting from selectione shop. 
We introduced some fake brick walls to help match the exterior that was shot at another location. 
The main room was partitioned to make a smaller space and a new front door was added to also match the exterior. It was all done on a very tight budget and so all of the construction was done by us at my workshop using mostly recycled set pieces. Faux brickwork can sometimes look a bit disappointing but we experimented until we were happy and in the end were very satisfied with the result.
