I’ve covered myself a little I do not
sleep safe nor do I seek glory at war if
it’s something like this where it’s 1620
you finally got to get yourself immersed
into the era to start with I did a lot
of research on the pilgrims themselves
who they were where they come from and
what they were running away from and why
they were so desperate to come over here
and start this enormous adventure
the construction of the village we took
a lot of reference photos and a lot of
sort of reference material you know
whatever we could find is whether it be
paintings or anything like that
to kind of see how they were booked and
we took a lot of that research and said
okay right so we need to have these
kinds of clapboards and this is the kind
of this is how they would chop them up
and this is how they laid them onto the
structure that they’re then built I
think that the sets are breathtaking
tube it’s been so much work has gone
into all of that in so much research
there’s a lot of informing that happens
when you get on a great set you can get
down to who this person is in the role
and how they fit in with the other
people and how they interact and that’s
that’s a huge opportunity walking onto
the set in the pilgrims village we also
get that sense of everything’s squared
and and linear based but everything
within the native world is all round and
circular so there was a sense again of
within our own spaces we walk a
different way than when we walked in
into the pilgrim town what I’ve got
behind me is a deserted no-sex village
and what we’ve basically done now is
we’ve dressed two sets of graves in the
graves we’ve actually got some skeletons
and each skeleton had a specific bundle
that had their kind of personal
positions and so a smoking pipe maybe
some arrowheads if it was a male
maybe someone panned beads if it was a
female if you look behind you quickly
there’s an amazing skull we’re gonna use
on say chest I’m designing Native
American villages there’s also a massive
learning curve what we’ve got is a much
more pared down much more basic much
more organic looking tribe I’m really
impressed by how they built their
villages and they had their where twos
and their long houses and how massive
they were and how beautiful they were
there’s something to be said when you
walk under set and you see these this
great longhouse and this great village
that that has been erected and there’s
such great care that you can’t help but
fall into the story it informs the way
you think what would it be like to wake
up in the
camp it’s very important to be accurate
and authentic to the period and to their
own plight we’re building a village
that’s all made out the same kind of
Timbers and we’re using old techniques
and with that so it’s very good to have
the ability to build for real
