Can you speak to the accuracy of how it was portrayed in the show?

You know, as production designer, one of my main responsibilities is to understand what the world of each of the characters looked like and felt like.

And so, yeah, sure, I grew up here and have family still in the neighborhood where we shot largely, but I can't rely on my memory alone.

So we do research.

We look for photos.

We look at newspaper articles, magazines, and do a lot of mining, do a lot of research.

And then that information is used to start designing the world that I'm trying to create based on what's on the pages.

Why is that important right now at this

Because, because like even though it's based on comics, there must be a sense of like maybe we can play around a bit more in a grounded reality.

Yeah.

And that was my understanding, um, or at least that was my thinking.

I, I had an opportunity to read the s- the crea- the pitch by the creator of the show, and in it he goes to detail about what he's interested in and what he's not interested in, you know, as a middle-aged man in the world of comics.

And so in that pitch, he talks about, um, uh, someone maybe that's his age who's, you know, a little more, who's tired and a little slower, moves, uh, more slowly, et cetera, et cetera.

And I, I was really captivated by the pitch alone.

I, I think it's a, it, it should be taught in film school, frankly, um, 'cause it, it, it really brings you into the, the idea of, of the project.

And how did that sort of idea come about, and how did you run with it and incorporate it in your designs?
