Interesting Challenges

 

The show had to have an otherworldly feel with props from different eras including a small notebook in the same scene as a tablet. Some challenges for this show included dying fabric for the first time to represent fire, finding a balance in periods, and representing gold being thrown in a beautiful way. This last objective was completed using gold rose petals that were thrown every night.
