Awake - Apartment Set Reconfigured
For
several straight episodes we had a set that was continually
reconfigured and repurposed. It started as a modern apartment and
went through several modifications and was seen in some form in
episodes 105 through110. Various elements changed between
episodes -- a kitchenette added for one, removed for the next, an
kitchen added in another place for the next and so forth. In some
versions it had several rooms, in others only one. And of course
windows and doors had to be reconfigured to match various exterior
locations, and the sets were repainted and redecorated to provide a
different look for each set. This sort of repurposing and
reconfiguration is common in television design, both to meet budget
restrictions and the tight schedule. Finally for episode 111 the bones of it were used for the Francis' Lair set. In addition to the looks seen here it also served as a murder victim's apartment, a witness's condo, and finally a sleazy aparment of a down and out drug addict. |
