THE PLAN
We are going to shoot this show entirely on a stage. We're gonna build the kitchen and the doctor's office. We plan to have two days of pre-light and pre-build on location to prepare and then a single day of shooting. We've selected the first floor of Dog Patch Studios for our stage.

Studio floor plan:

Below is a breakdown of our physical sets and locations:

Set: 1950's Style Kitchen
Our original intention was to bring in everything we need including the kitchen sink and dress an empty wall, but if we can find a 1950's sink in the Presidio that would be outstanding.



Set: Underwater shot
I'd like to dedicate a space on set to building and lighting the underwater sink shot. The only requirement for the space is that it have enough room to build the tank and light. I think a 30'X30' space would be sufficient.

Location: Car Driving Shot
If we can get 1950's car, I'd like to find a street location near our stage or hospital location to shoot a driving scene. The shot needs to play for 1950's. To help us out here, I will shoot tight and throw the background out of focus but we need to keep in mind that we can't have any billboards, etc. in the background that give away the time period. I plan to shoot this shot in the Presidio through a grove of trees.

Set: Doctor's office Lab Chair for giving blood
This could be a simple, plane corner in any room. I'd like to be able to change the wall color with either paper or painting. We will be shooting two walls.

Location Exterior Hospital (should look 1950's)
We want to shoot the talent approaching the building. We'll be shooting the VA hospital.

Set: Modern Lab
The modern lab is going to be a green screen composite shot. For this shot we only need a room that we can set up a green screen and pre-light. The shot will be of a scientist framed knee up. This needs to be a fairly large room so that we have the room to dolly the camera back into our final framing.
