CHiPs - The Movie

I was initially brought on to do the previz model for the large warehouse that was going to be built on location for the finale of the film. As the Production Designer and Art Director discovered how quickly I could model and create director plans, I was soon put to work generating all the director plans for the film, special effects builds, location action sequence plans as well as a full set of construction drawings for the warehouse.

Below are some samples of my process from white model to full color model to complete construction drawings. Since this building was going to be built on location in Lancaster, it had to be engineered to withstand the winds which were a daily occurrence. I included full foundation plans, concrete plans, as well as structural suggestions which I discussed at length with the Contruction Coordinator and the Construction Foreman.
