A production designer from Inverness added her personal touch on the Frankenstein movie.
Tamara Deverell worked alongside director Guillermo del Toro to creatively architect scenes such as the lab, the wooden boat, and an apartment in Scotland.
“It’s funny how connected you feel to Cape Breton in Scotland because there’s so many similar landscapes and, and just the feel of the wind and the sea,” explains Deverell.
As the supervising art director, she designs all the sets with a team of people by making architectural and construction drawings, picking the colours for the colour palette, and deciding how to light the sets.
She says Nova Scotia has a background setting ready for films.
“I’m hoping that in Cape Breton, there’s more films coming here and more film action because it is a fantastic place visually and I wouldn’t be surprised if more filmmakers find out about it,” expressed Deverell.
She recommends you check out Frankenstein that’s currently streaming on Netflix.
The Emmy Award winning designer will be at the Inverness County Centre for the Arts (ICCA) on Saturday, December 13 at 4 p.m. to showcase her set designs and answer questions.
