In which museum was Fantastic Night at the Museum filmed?

Fantastic Night at the Museum was shot in a museum built in the studio.

Apart from the inevitable digital special effects, director shawn levy finds himself facing many artistic problems, because he needs artists and designers to provide the film with the internal structure of a world-class museum.

Although permission has been obtained to shoot the real location of new york Natural Museum, the cultural relics and artworks collected in the museum are priceless, and the film also includes a series of destruction scenes. In order to avoid damaging cultural relics, the crew decided to rebuild the museum on the set.

Claude Parr, the artistic director of martin scorsese's The Aviator, accepted the task of "rebuilding the museum". In terms of design, director shawn levy gave Claude Parr a lot of creative space without much interference.

Traditional museums are usually divided into several exhibition areas or exhibition halls, but in the studio, Claude Parr only completely restored the aquarium. As for the other exhibition halls that need to appear in the film, only a part of them were built, and then they were synthesized by digital technology later.

About 65,438+00 designers are busy designing different patterns for the exhibition hall at the same time. Each exhibition hall has gone through several routine architectural steps, such as illustration, design and construction. In order to be more realistic, artists spend more time on details, and the statues, models and specimens on display are all from their own hands.
