Lulu Wang

Lulu Wang Instagram – So… my production designer Yong Ok Lee (@sungji715 ) and I first met for our short film “Touch,” where her budget was $300 for 4 sets including a jail cell. She got a little more on “The Farewell”… but the greatest leap was to“Expats,” where she was challenged with scaling her intimate, detailed approach to the epic, sprawling production of this 6.5hr series. I don’t know how to describe all the feats of this challenge and the talent, the tenacity, the tears shed to accomplish it. With the incorporation of stage builds, green screens, special effects and visual effects, it was vital not to lose the realness – the details, the textures & specificity of HK, as well as the intimacy of these spaces for the characters. I could not be more proud of the final results, but more importantly, of our mutual growth through this process of leaping to such a large scale project. Here’s a peek into Yong’s process – from concept drawings to reality. | Posted on 20/Jun/2024 02:10:21
