Crafting the World of 'After The Hunt'
Building Layers of History for an Academic Elite
Production designer Stefano Baisi has detailed his creative process for the upcoming film 'After The Hunt'. His primary challenge was to design an apartment that authentically reflected the life of a distinguished academic character.
The Challenge of Designing an Intellectual's Space
The production design required constructing an environment with a deep sense of history. Baisi focused on creating a space that felt lived
- in and accumulated over time, matching the intellectual stature of its occupant.
- Carefully curated book collections suggesting decades of research.
- Artifacts and mementos from a long, well
- traveled career.
- Furniture that shows the wear and patina of age and use.
To achieve this, Baisi's approach was to build up layers of history within the set. This method involved carefully selecting props, furniture, and decor that suggested a lifetime of academic pursuit and personal history.
A Set Steeped in Character
The final design for the academic's apartment is a testament to this layered approach. Every element was chosen to contribute to the narrative, making the setting a character in itself.
This meticulous attention to detail ensures the setting in 'After The Hunt' provides a rich, believable backdrop for the film's drama, fully immersing the audience in the world of the academic elite.
