From an interview with J.D. Disalvatore on the making of Landfall, published in Effects Special magazine.
"I can't stress enough how wonderful the stages were that we chose - Laurel Canyon Stages. As you can imagine this was a really big set with a lot of volatile elements. It went so smoothly. Initially when searching for stages, I contacted all the big effects stages I had worked with before and they were either too pricey, not large enough and/or did not have the appropriate resources for such and effect.
Laurel Canyon Stages were a find. Previously they had only accommodated smaller films and television projects. They were conveniently located, easy to work with and they gave us incredible support. The stage we rented was humongous. The water pumps had a great spot just outside the stage doors, there was an expansive lighting grid, and the drainage was more than adequate. They also had a good stock of lighting and grip equipment when we needed to rent additional items on the spot. Plus we had a whole row of offices conveniently located right off the stage. This not only housed our production manager and his staff, but also had air conditioned storage for our miniatures, a camera room, and expansive kitchen for CRAFT service and a great room for our clients to relax in." |
