\u201cBasically, what we do in the art department is decorating for the scene and putting out props or making them for the scene,\u201d Hong Le said. \u201cWe have spent the past week setting up a house.”<\/p>\n
While the art department can often repurpose existing items and create others, Hong Le learned that sometimes there is no substitute for the real thing. For example, one day she had had to drive to Kennesaw in order to purchase two fish to be used in one of the scenes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey had to be whole fish, with their heads attached, and I couldn\u2019t find them nearby,\u201d Hong Le said.<\/p>\n

She said working in the art department requires strict attention to detail, ensuring that scenes flow properly. For example, Hong Le said that she learned the importance of ensuring continuity while setting up, breaking down and relocating portions of the set.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf one little thing is out of place, it can ruin a scene, so we take lots of pictures of where everything is placed,\u201d Hong Le said.<\/p>\n
She said being on set has helped her gain perspective on the multiple roles required to make a film production a success. And although the production has required 12-hour days and late nights, she said the experience has been invaluable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely learn more through experience and connections, and this has been great,\u201d Hong Le said. \u201cWe laugh a lot when we\u2019re working, and we\u2019ll sometimes have get-togethers after we\u2019re done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hong Le resides in Rome and attends classes at the Rome site. Her plans after graduation are to explore the many opportunities available in Georgia\u2019s growing film industry.<\/p>\n
