For the film geeks

Here is a "stolen" picture from inside the German Filmhaus Museum.  It's a model of the studio in which The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was shot.  Caligari's office in the mental asylum faces Jane's bedroom. Creepy(er).

Miniature expressionism!  I also saw a model for the filming of M.  That was one elaborate set.  Lang diagrammed every square inch (centimeter?) of the space in his attic set to find unconventional angles.  His personal storyboards looked like blueprints.


More film stuff to come!

No, pictures were not allowed inside.

    I don't consider myself a film 'geek'...but I actually can get a feel for all the detail and precision here...a blueprint to capture every concievable angle...hence creepiness...now thats some pretty intense work...
