Hollow Man

Hollow Man was an odd one. There were only three sets in the show. An underground lab, built in an old civil defense bunker, an apartment building in Washington D.C., and an elevator shaft. But what sets they were. The elevator shaft was built against the Sony Studios parking structure and it went the full sixty feet up its side. And it was rigged to explode and burn. The apartment building was on a huge platform, and it included two sections of hallway and two apartments across an airshaft from each other on different floors. The lab filled the 42,000 sq foot (3,902 sq/M) stage 25/26/27 complex (what once was stage 27 is now three stages), with a maze of passages and rooms. I was responsible for the main room, both the crumbling cold war era stuff and the sleek technology inside of it. The tangle of corridors and rooms was the purview of my friend Dale Pelton. We worked out a system of work points to lay out the hallways and the lab. The Propmakers laid both parts out simultaneously, from opposite ends of the stage. When the two pieces met, they were within an eighth of an inch of each other (consider; they started three hundred feet away from each other). Sorry there are so few drawings to share, but these are the only prints I had for my portfolio.
