Building a Mansion

We could have used backdrops made from images of the actual Campbell Mansion, but in order to truly get the "filmed on location" feel, we built the House of Frankenstein from the ground up, stone by digital stone, beam by pixelated beam.

Mapping the initial shape without blueprints prior to the foundation

Mansion Frame

Brick by digital brick, beam by beam, windows, doors, we're building the House of Frankenstein!

Progress!

This view from virtual 1st Ave shows how far we've come...!

Near Completion!

In 1926 Spokane, electricity and Christmas lights were a new and wonderful thing, mainly displayed by the wealthy at first.

Christmas Lights!

This enormous space was used to entertain rather than being a space for books.

The Library

Lady Elizabeth was very fond of Greek Mythology, and she commissioned two statues to stand above the mantle.

Queen Persephone

The model for the sculptures was Helen Thomas, Dr. Frankenstein's secretary and Elizabeth's personal friend. That's why she's at the party!

Persephone Devotee

The statues were commisioned to appear as if they were reaching out to each other, always longing to be together, but forever set apart.

Always together, forever apart

This image from our first trailer for the film shows two important supporting characters.

The Hallway

So Much Gold!

Before color photography, people who could afford to have themselves depicted in portraiture sometimes used hand-tinted photographs.

Christmas dinner is on the way!

A space fit for a holiday feast

All the major characters are here: Dr. Frankenstein and Elizabeth, Erika Martin, Nikki Michaels, Helen Thomas, and Dr. Aleister Brown.
