PROCESS
Collaborating with Production Designer Payal Ghose for the art direction and set design of Scam 1992, the process involved meticulous pre-production, scouting and budgeting for recreating a visual language similar to Mumbai in the 90’s. This meant scouring the city for the most suitable locations, acquiring and crafting authentic props, and ensuring that every set matched the storyline. Setting up multiple locations simultaneously required us to be nimble and communicate constantly to organize the needs with all film departments.
