Part 2/8:
Rena’s craft goes beyond simply dressing a set; it involves extensive research and understanding of historical aesthetics. She emphasizes the importance of swapping out contemporary elements for vintage ones. Every facet of the environment must align with the visual language of the era portrayed, from the designs on store signs to the models of cars on the streets.
Rena recalls the process of scouting locations. The first step is to eliminate anachronisms that would disrupt the illusion of time travel. This includes removing security cameras and replacing modern cars with vintage models featuring period license plates.
