Lights, Camera, Action! TV's Most Beautiful Interiors - Part I
The camera might be focusing on the melodrama between the actors, but I’m always checking out the set design of the television show. After wading through a lot of mediocre sets, these interiors sparked my interest!
Bones, from the Fox network, may have a grisly theme and name, but the set designs are fabulous. Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan - played by Emily Deschanel - investigates the skeletal remains of murder victims for clues in the soaring and unique setting of the imaginary Jeffersonian Institute. The Institute is part museum and part laboratory space – one wall contains from floor to ceiling a display case filled with bones that’s backlit for a ghostly effect.
But it’s Bones’ home – a renovated loft - that really shows off the design talent of the show’s set designer, Kim Wannop.
