Academy Awards Green Room Sets
Posted on 25. Feb, 2012 by Thatcher Wine in Blog, Recent Projects
Here are the book sets we created for the Green Room of the 2012 Academy Awards, each individually photographed. A few weeks ago when Waldo’s Designs asked us if we wanted to get involved with creating a library for the Architectural Digest Greenroom, I jumped at the chance and immediately pitched him the idea of creating a film strip with classic film scenes across the bookshelf. I knew we could make this concept a reality and it would be something that nobody had ever seen before – a challenging given the creative talent who will be in the room on Oscar night!
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences gave us access to their archives and I spent many hours selecting images to use for the project. As a fan of classic films, and at one time an aspiring screenwriter, I enjoyed every minute of combing through the archives, choosing pictures, then printing them on book jackets and with my team in Boulder, Colorado making them line up perfectly so when you push multiple books together they form many classic movie scenes from the past 85 years!
