UNREASONABLE DOUBT, Dir. John Tashiro
A seasoned detective is handling the case of a money laundering operation. All the evidence points to a single queen pin; she was caught with two duffel bags worth of $120k in her hands, right at the bar where she works. Before she is to be incarcerated, he brings her boyfriend in to procure her motives. However, not everything is as it appears and as her boyfriend's interrogation begins to unravel itself, the pieces to the puzzle begin to fit together..
For this scene I painted three fly away walls and created the detective’s print evidence. The sterile green tone was picked to make the interrogation room cold and bleak to further drive home the suspect’s perceived vulnerability and isolation.
For the bar scene I wanted to come up with a trendy gimmick. The bar “set” in The School of Visual Arts in New York City, is very plain so my goal was to make it a little more interesting. The director wanted to present these bar scenes as a heightened reality, so the set needed to be visually striking enough to work with the editing style.
