CRUSADE Season One

    Set & Scenic Paint 
              1998
 Most of the following photos were taken after the days shooting schedule, and they had  already begun striking the set. These structures were laid in with an airless spray gun,  followed by "sponging" with long handled feather stampers, and Chapins for aging and  rust. The floors are marbled entirely with Chapins.
 The 2 sets above and the one below are all part of the same deserted city set. These sets  represent ground-level only, the skyscape and city above are comped CGI.
Above, rust-aged light pole with aged stonework during strike of one of the largest sets of the series. The stonework was created with feather stampers and Chapins after the base  was laid in with the airless.
 Above is a section of exterior set that is composited into the CGI shot of the building,  completed in post. Most of the large sets are laid in with the airless, then broad-stroke  aging with an array of Chapins completes it.
 The photo above, and the following photos below are fiberglass fountain and pedestals   that I gave the full scenic aged faux concrete and granite treatment. They are part of a  night exterior garden set.
