Set Dresser

In episode 1 each contestant was paired up with one Set Dresser to create a style that represents another opponent. This room before was bare and white. In the span of 3.5 hours I had to help the designer create this look. Which included painting the floor the same color as the wall. I also had to decoupage the table and headboard

Oversaw all Props

Every Prop is authentic to what they use in Prisons purchased through various correctional facility companies. I hired an welder to build the two beds made to the measurements the director wanted.

The hardest prop to find was the Prison Toilets at a budget friendly price . They generally cost over $2,000 and take 12 weeks to be delivered. I called all plumbing fixture company in the New York state area. In one week I found one for $500 at a small company in Albany 2 hours away. And rented the other from a prop house.
