In November 2013, Mirjam Ruschka and I dressed the set for the first episode (“The Cellar“) of my horror / science fiction / fantasy webseries.
It was a lot of fun to create a grungy basement with lots of torture stuff and cutting devices (even though I did not want to shoot a torture porn short film, but I do not want to spoil too much here). Below are some pictures from the set dressing process.
Mirjam doing what she loves most… creating pieces of bloody flesh!
Having painted my whole life pays off when you need to give a set a grungy, dirty look…fast.
