From February to July 2011 I worked for Pierre Bohanna again on ‘Gravity’ at Shepperton Studios. We had to replicate a Russian Soyuz and 2 Chinese Shenzhu re-entry capsules. My duties included pattern making for the internal dressing, making hero, stunt and proxy props, cleaning up and finishing props that had been CNCed and I was charged with painting and finishing most of the items that were made. I also got to do a fair amount of Standby. Some was on the Soyuz, but the majority was on a Shenzhu that was shot at the underwater stage at Pinewood Studios for the final sequences of the film.
Hero and stunt fire extinguishers
Hand made patterns which were then vacuum cast in hard and soft materials
Soyuz interior controls
Lots of hand machined parts and plenty of found items went into this set
