:ofmdPirateFlagCat: Lindsey Cantrell (part 1)

Our dear Lindsey Cantrell, set decorator for OFMD S2, has been pivotal in sharing so much information and support of cast & crew and so many others affected by the LA fires. She put together a beautiful dedication filled with hope I just wanted to share with you. She continues to be a beacon of kindness:

"Palisades, Altadena, Malibu…
The strength & beauty of this city and the people in it…

LA is filled with artists and creators, and this line of work takes you all over the city. We all have memories in these places. We all have friends who’ve lost everything.

The people I’ve met here over the years have made me who I am. Older generation set dressers talking about the history, friends opening up about their passions, getting to bring my Midwestern mom to see the ocean, the work ethic to lend a hand. I love it here. It’s been amazing to see LA hasn’t lost its spirit. #LAStrong"

Amy:
Speaking of the tiny boats, we’d be remiss if we didn’t ask about them too - how did you make them and how long did it take you? I can testify from making repairs to our broken ones that they’re fiddly little things!

Linds:
Yes they are! The strain on my eyes that week! The bases of these tiny ships are custom lead molds created in the Propmakers Workshop. Next, painted and aged brown. Then, one by one I stabilized them and carefully drilled one tiny hole in the semi-center of each ship's base. Hoping each time that I didn't push too hard or for too long, potentially breaking through to the bottom. So I held my breath and got through all of that step. Off to the side, I had the makings for the tiny flags. I painted and aged what felt like a million toothpicks to start. Trimming off the bottoms of one end so they would sit flat inside my pre-drilled hole. I cut the different pieces of construction paper in a tiny triangle with one flat end, and put a line of glue on that side to place underneath a toothpick and rolled it over to hold. Some bits of my fingertips are definitely attached to the glue inside those tricky little flags. When my deadline was getting closer, I started to just begin placing the dried flags inside the bases the next day. Until I found some of them falling over by the time I came back from lunch. So then I realized I needed to add one tiny drop of super glue into the hole first. The final precise measure was making sure when I held the flag down to attach, that I was holding it straight up & down. Sounds easy enough, but if you're only looking at one side, you may be pushing the flag down and away. So if you check your other angles afterward, you'd notice it's leaning to that opposite side, as if the tiny ship is in a storm, someone told me. [...]

:ofmdPirateFlagCat: Tiny Crew Big Raffle (Part 1)

In honor of the Tiny Boats raffle, the OFMD Buys Boats team had an interview with our dear Set Dresser, Lindsey Cantrell! You can read the full thing on their substack: https://substack.com/@tinycrewbigraffle

Here's a sneak preview!

Amy:
What was your favourite set to dress?

Linds:
What a hard question. The favorite that first comes to mind is John Bartholomew's Captain's Quarters. The scene where Zheng Yi Sao leads a raid on Bartholomew's ship, and then convinces him to join her crew.
The day we were going to shoot this scene was pulled up in the schedule, so during a few lunches and a few private rehearsals, I was brought over to the unfinished set to get my opinion on the status of its dress. What to add, where to move items, take away, etc. And it needed to get done quickly. We were pulling dressing from all over. Production Designer Ra and Art Director Troy really wanted it to be layered. They were discussing someone who'd lived in that space for ages. Our Set Dec team left the bones of it in a good place, but on the day we went to shoot it, we still scrambled a bit throwing items together for more chaos (some good ideas, some bad- ie: a stool ended up on top of a dresser?)
I still love the way the lighting was shot through those windows and how it all came together. Plus, didn't that charcuterie look delicious?"
