San Diego’s first choice in Creative Services for the Entertainment Industries.

This spot required us to purchase the props and decor for a variety of set ups on the North Island Navy Base in Coronado. We purchased several sizes and styles of American Flags, researched military triage props used for a disaster/rescue scene, and made a dozen paper flags that needed to look like schoolchildren had made them. We also consulted with Navy personnel on authenticating the proper use of any props I brought in.

We provided greens to dress several outdoor scenes, and used plastic cups (from China!) to create an American flag on a chain link fence. We also provided smoke effects for a beach scene. To keep communications open with the crew and the director, I created and organized an Art Department Media Cloud so that all research, prop photos, and ideas could be easily accessed by everyone.
