PROJECT
THE LAST OF US (S1)

Director: Craig Mazin

Production Designer: John Paino

Production held a short-term lease on an entire mall, which we completely redressed for the episode. We created more than 80 branded storefronts, each with custom channel letters, signage, and controlled lighting.

Four local vendors were brought on to fabricate the channel letters and neon. Managing the volume of signage required a detailed tracking system, following each piece from creative, to fabrication, to lighting, then paint and ageing, and finally installation on location.

It was a huge logistical effort, with a massive spreadsheet keeping every piece moving through the process and arriving on site in the right sequence.
