Mansion set

This might just be the coolest set I've worked on so far. In the script this mansion belongs to a mysterious and wealthy old woman, whom one of the characters refers to as "the satan herself". He is exaggarating of course but still there seems to be something supernatural about the old lady. I thought of her as some kind of a modern Baba Yaga character be it that she isn't really a witch, merely a superstitious collector and traveler.

We shot in a great location in Vääksy, Finland. The house was in excellent shape and had a great atmosphere on its own. With it's wallpapers, wooden floor and high ceiling it was perfect for our purposes. All I had to do was to fill the huge space with furniture and props. It took quite a lot of effort but I really enjoyed doing this! Results below.
