PRODUCTION DESIGN / PROPS

Here's how I see us laying out the sets on the stage floor. This could change when we get in the space but these are my initial thoughts.




Giving Blood in the 1950's. Blood drains into a bag down low. The woman giving blood needs to be lying down. This is true to the story as it is told.




Receiving Blood in the 1950's. Blood flows out of a glass bottle from up high. When Dr. Harrington receives blood he will be sitting in a chair.




THE BLOOD
We need to pay special attention to the blood. Its viscosity, color, the way it works dripping out of the woman's nose and the way it works in the water. We might have to use different bloods for different applications. John Micheletos is the master of liquids. He will help us achieve the right blood.

When the blood enters the water, I'd like to shoot 60fps to see the blood diffuse into the water in slow motion. This will be an impactful moment. Imagine a low and quiet boom when it hits. Here is a video to inspire our eye for liquids.
