Hey There,
Billy, like most guys, lives a little like he’s still in a collage dorm room. Not very female friendly. So, his bedroom went through a huge transformation. More and more we get letters from single guys to design for them. They know that having a place that’s done well it truly a ticket to winning the gal!
These images are behind the scenes of our Fine Living Series, Work That Room with Christopher Lowell-but as you can clearly see, it takes lots of people to do a good quality show. After enjoying the slide show, scroll down and enjoy the behind the scenes descriptions.
In Billy’s bedroom with Gordon getting ready to do the ‘before’ walk through.
We’re all in the living room after the ‘befores’ are shot. The crew is still upstairs shooting what we call ‘b-roll’. That just means the shots are without talent and no sound—and mostly referencing what I’ve just talked about.
A brief light moment between Michael and Jocelyne.
Billy sees the completed bedroom for the first time. He is over the top pleased. Masculine yet not too gender specific.
Just before we shoot, I tweak the accessories—that’s kinda my thing. Sometimes we do a little editing once cameras are up as proportions change through the lens.
Jocelyne finds out that Billy did not want ‘Old Hollywood’, but new ‘Hollywood’. So, she tossed the ‘Old Hollywood’ swatches out and started again.
This is a great shot of a portion of our studio where we do round table design consultations. By the time cameras roll on these segments, we have to have all designs locked in for sure.
That’s our beloved Kenny taking a rare break. He and I have been filming together for a LONG time. It’s a real dance of anticipation when we shoot because he has to listen and follow backwards most of the time. We end up doing a lot of our own blocking after the director sets the scene because we know each others style so well.
