Part 1/8:
Transforming Modern Streets into Vintage Scenes
In the world of filmmaking, creating an authentic period setting requires meticulous attention to detail. This challenge is exemplified in the opening scene of "Bridge of Spies," set in Dumbo, Brooklyn, a neighborhood that has vastly changed since the 1950s. To convincingly transport viewers to that era, set decorator Rena DeAngelo, known for her Oscar-nominated work on various iconic films, has developed a comprehensive plan to alter the modern landscape into a 1950s time capsule.
