SAUCIN’
Production Design Breakdown / Part 3
For the traffic jam sequence, we locked down an entire street.
Not just as a location, but as a system, cars, bodies, smoke, walls, and movement all choreographed to collide.
Every wall was treated as a surface for texture. Layers of posters, signage, prints, and decay were built to read both wide and close, turning the street into a compressed, overstimulated backdrop.
Smoke wasn’t added for atmosphere. It was designed to interrupt depth, break clean lines, and collapse perspective,
so the jam feels physical, not just crowded.
We shot this sequence while a storm was rolling in.
Wind, rain, shifting light, nothing stayed consistent for long.
It forced us to adapt fast, re-balance textures, and embrace instability as part of the scene.
